I hate the "umpires call" rubbish that DRS throws up.

It should be either "out" or "not out". Stupid that things like that are not out and yet if it was just clipping the bail and yet was given out, it would stay out.
Umpire's call needs to be there, but the margin is way too big. No way should it be not out when half the ball is smashing the stumps.

It would be much better if "Umpires call" was if the ball wasn't hitting at least half the stump. i.e. only for tiny nicks. It should also be umpires call if the ball is slightly missing the stumps by a couple of mm too.

Reverse sweep to bring up the 200 Smitteh

That's what Maxwell would do

Except he would never be on 199 in a Test

Botham's answer to that last Australian to score a double hundred away from home question was pathetic. Border and Bradman? Jesus.
