nah i dont reakon he got anything on that, dissapointing end to a solid fighting knock there, he looks like hes slowly working his way back into form, unfortunatley for him all 4 Aussie bowlers are bowling really well at the moment.

Note to Ricky Pointing your not allowed to go charging at the Umpire waving your hands in the air.

A great example of why I dislike him a lot.

How bleeding irritating are these commentators. Suddenly disregarding the evidence of Snicko and their own eyes in their religious reluctance to admit Lara's got another shocker against the Aussies. Have they been fooled by the vociferous appeal of the saintly Gilchrist? Has Lara actually been out in this series?

I loved how Mark Taylor defended the decision because 'Warne certainly beat Lara and the Australians were really confident'

How does that make the decision fair on Lara Tubby?

Just because the Australians appeal doesn't mean it is out.. in fact 90% of the time it probably isn't out. Ponting charging down the pitch, advancing on the umpire and then looking like he was incredibly hard done by when the bat didn't come close to the ball on Samuels before illustrates the fact that Australia put pressure on umpires and force them into making errors.

I hate the fact all the Channel 9 commentators want to stick one in Warne. Sure they are all good mates with him but ffs get over him.

Two LBW decisions with Brett Lee coming around the wicket, one freak catch off Bracken's bowling and that decision without an edge.

The Bracken one was the only one that was definetly out, the lbw in the first innings in this test was 50/50 and the other one was a joke.

Michael Holding has just asked Bill Lawry your exact question claiming it as a 'trivia question' HAHA! :D That's hilarious.

Lawry compared it to Tendulkar's poor decisions he's received in Australia in previous years, but he never got 3/4 :ph34r:

The Australian team seem to be very good at intimidating the umpires with their appealing. Probably another reason they lost the Ashes - the umpires did not budge because the atmosphere was so overwhelming in all the Tests, it just couldn't work.
