Ali averaging less than 30 in the relative calm of the middle/lower order, would be quite a leap to expect him to average 40 up top. We need to pick one and stick with one, The aussies were desperate to have Sam Robson before he picked us. I would go back to him, and just back him for a good while. Winter tour of South Africa isn't going to be easy, need a settled top order.

Looks like the England batting will let them down yet again.

Yes this partnership is a disaster for Australia. Match winning partnership potentially.

About as much chance of Warne criticising Clarke as of me winning 100 metres gold

Why is that not out when hawkeye shows it was hitting the stumps?

Well this is going rather well. The enigma that is Steven Finn, has so much potential just needs the confidence to fulfil it. Saw him bowl earlier in the season for Middlesex and he looked nowhere near. Why is that not out when hawkeye shows it was hitting the stumps?
If less than half the ball is hitting the stumps it is considered a marginal decision and stays with the decision made on the field by the umpire. The DRS (decision review system) was brought in to stop absolute howlers not make borderline decisions. |

19 of 21 DRS decisions have stayed with the umpire this series, more than half on umpires call
It is meant to overturn real howlers, of which there are far fewer in the DRS era (it has improved umpiring standards).
where less than half the ball is hitting the stumps the benefit of the doubt goes to the umpire's initial call

If this finishes today I bet Edgbaston won't half do a lump.

The thing that bugs me about DRS is it only reverses one way.
So if someone is given not out you have to have over half the ball hitting the stumps to overturn whereas if someone is given out if it then misses by half a millimetre it is overruled surely it should be half a ball either side?

Totally different to tennis where if u hit 1mm of the line the ball is in. Don't really understand why it isn't the same in cricket. |
