Can't argue with that, it was spot on.

I did see Clarke on the balcony pondering a review...

Two down

Cosimo · 10 Aug 2013 at 11:46

Ha, Khawaja gone, 12-2.

Pighardia · 10 Aug 2013 at 11:46

England back in by tea?

Sankari · 10 Aug 2013 at 11:47

Oh Khawaja, that was sloppy.

They showed on Sky last night that 238 is about par for this pitch in the first day/innings, it looks like we're in for a good test match.

Yeah I remember them saying before it started that, I think, nobody has made over 300 in the first innings this season?

manic111 · 10 Aug 2013 at 11:55

Pretty sure that was outside leg.

manic111 · 10 Aug 2013 at 11:58

Yeeess!

Edit: Nooo.

Edit: LBW could be interesting...

Sankari · 10 Aug 2013 at 12:00

Not one of England's best reviews, but perhaps they'll get him on the second.

Pighardia · 10 Aug 2013 at 12:01

Ha LBW!

Nooooo.

Why are we pandering to Umpires feelings?...can't give it out as it might upset the umpires

mmj_uk · 10 Aug 2013 at 12:01

Can't England challenge the LBW?

Doohickey · 10 Aug 2013 at 12:02

I think that's right that he's not out. That is, going by the whole 'umpire's call' rule.

Sui · 10 Aug 2013 at 12:02

Cricket is so backwards.

Pighardia · 10 Aug 2013 at 12:02

Do a 2nd review for the LBW decision

Gilly · 10 Aug 2013 at 12:03

I don't understand. 'Umpire's call' makes no sense, the umpire thought he'd hit it and therefore couldn't be lbw. That means the umpire couldn't make an lbw call at the time.

Just another wrong decision in the Aussies favour.

How can it be right, when the umpire made a bad call for caught behind that ruled him out of making the lbw call?

I don't think so. The umpire gave him out for an edge, not lbw. Therefore the umpire's call was not lbw therefore DRS indicating 'umpire's call' re: lbw then the umpire's call has to be not out.

^But yes, Gilly is also right.

steveo · 10 Aug 2013 at 12:03

so fair enough not caught behind but, but its still an LBW theres the first bit of controversy for the day

Sankari · 10 Aug 2013 at 12:03

Hah, great review by Rogers!
