Yeah, it looked plum but a hint of an inside edge.

Sky have just shown it was hitting middle stump, didn't look like any edge off the bat to me. No reviews left for England though

Last edited by Kronen; 11-26-2010 at 08:03 PM. Reason: definitely no edge, bugger

My immediate reaction was inside edge but looking at the replay I tend to agree that the noise was just two pads. Bit hard done by there. But in fairness, Strauss did waste at least one review yesterday.

Hussey deffo got lucky there - that was stone cold out, hit both pads, no inside edge.

Jimmy Anderson has totally pwned him this morning.

Think back to when we lost a review because the snicko couldn't be arranged in time to detect the edge by Clarke

I really hope this isn't one of these days where Anderson pwns souls all day with no reward.

I agree with TMS - the UDRS still sucks balls at the moment. It should be umpire driven, not player driven.

At the end of the day it's failed, because Hussey is still batting.

Really? So you think it's fine that we've introduced tv replays and yet there is an arbitrary limit on the number of times it is used? It's fine that errors which would be caught early in the innings are allowed to pass later in the innings? It's fine that a batsmen who patently should have been given out, and who everyone knows should have been given out before the next ball was bowled, is still batting?

Well, obviously your definition of fine is considerably different from mine.

If a batsman is out, and you review it, you don't lose any reviews. Don't waste them. The limit is there to discourage unnecessary use of the technology and keep the game moving. Some things will still be missed from time to time (same for both teams), but yeah, I think it's fine.

I think its worked pretty well. Things going against you sometimes is just part of cricket and life. We're not american.

I'd like to see automatic hawkeye for no balls but no biggee
