They don't give any LBWs yesterday, then give that one out that is barely clipping the stumps and it stays out for 'Umpires Call'.

Good to see some things don't change.

I like that they have 3 reviews now, they should keep that.

But Umpire's call has to go. Ludicrous that you have all that technology and a ball that hits 1% of the stumps can be out and one that hits 49% is not out based on what the umpire's initial guess was.

With Crawley going well, I reckon we have seen the end of Denly's test career.

I agree but Bracey plays for the mighty Glos so no chance they'll pick him

If you combined Australia and England together you might just make a Top 6 that wouldn't be embarrassed. Individually, no chance.
