3rd Test at Headingley, Leeds

Compton

International Debutant
Not as terrible a review as Steve Smith's
Steve Smith is allowed to burn as many reviews as he likes on the basis that his wicket is more valuable than the rest of the team combined.

Remember when Shane Watson used to burn a review literally every innings challenging a plumb lbw? :laugh:

Yup. Throw in Robin Smith and Mark Butcher at either end of the decade too.
And if you're counting Smith, even Gooch counts, and he > Root. A top six of Atherton, Gooch, Stewart, Thorpe, Smith and Hussain would honestly be one of the best batting lineups going around if they were playing today. Don't think that would've played much though.

Worth noting with Archer is that England were 8 down and had two reviews to spare. Burning one would mean Sweet FA in that case.
