I hope Clarke plays this time at least.

 

92/2 :(

 

 

i feel sorry for him tbh. Gets hammered from all sides of the stupid press for lacking that aussie bad mouth on the field. Least one could hope is for that back problem to vanish.

BTW on what basis was Khwaja given out ?
he didn't use referral spontaneously and waited for few seconds .that might be the reason for kumar dharmasena (idiot)

WoW....They dint review that , Surprising :P

Cz clarke's still batting

 

That lbw appeal against Smith looked plumb. And the difference between hitting and umpire's call was a couple of millimetres.

Ridiculous rules

Even Australian Prime Minister Disapproves

 

Usman Khawaja's dismissal before lunch at Old Trafford, adjudged caught behind after the on-field umpire's call was reviewed and upheld, has triggered an outpouring of furious tweets from former players and even the Australian prime minister.

 

Here's a selection:

 

"I've just sat down to watch the test. That was one of the worst cricket umpiring decisions I have ever seen. KRudd"Kevin Rudd, Australian prime minister"

 

Usman Khawaja has every right to knock on the umpires door over lunch; just ask HOW?"Tom Moody, former Australia batsman

 

"That is a ridiculous decision by both the on & off field umpires. DRS creating yet more controversy. Any wonder players don't walk!"Alec Stewart, former England captain"

 

And people say you should Walk .... No chance when you get decisions like that...."Michael Vaughan, former England captain

 

"DRS was introduced to eradicate the human howlers...humans are out to prove that no technology can eliminate human errors."Aakash Chopra, former India batsman

 

"Umpires protecting each other is the main reason DRS is causing controversy!"Scott Styris, former New Zealand allrounder

 

"Shocking decision to give #usmanKhwaja out. What is the technology there for? Umpires may need a trip to specsavers n get a hearing aid."Azhar Mahmood, former Pakistan allrounder

 

"Thing to remember is that without DRS we would still be saying that was a shocking decision. Not the system's fault but those operating it."Steve James, former England batsman

 

"Don't blame the DRS for that. Blame the numpty 3rd umpire. Poor!"Iain O'Brien, former New Zealand bowler.

 

"Now that's bullshit !!! Sorry ... Now you all know why I hate DRS! Bullshit."Dean Jones, former Australia batsman.

 

"It's really quite obvious why we end up enslaved to robots in the future."Jarrod Kimber, ESPNcricinfo
