used to be 1/2 a second difference, more than 5 seconds now, utter disgrace that pics of sport (usually those with high betting turnover) are having pictures more and more delayed - started with the horses and spread far wider now sadly

Nice one Broady, stood still gave nothing away and got away with it as the Aussies have no video appeals left.
A little unsporting I know but it's the ashes and they would have done the same.

TBH if he hadnt burnt their final review on such a hideous guess versus Bell there wouldve been no issue, doesnt mask the fact that the standard of umpiring in this game has been utterly horrific though

Well we are owed at least 92 runs from the first innings

Umpires have become too reliant on video replays and the 3 umpire to make the decisions for them. 20 years ago he would have walked as the umpire would have given out in a heartbeat.
I'm not complaining though and it's partly the Aussies fault for wasting their 3 appeals in the first place.

Not seen it but seems a let off. We are a good position now

Because he was Out!
20 years ago he would have..
These days there's too much at stake and you don't walk unless you're given out.
It's a form of cheating I'm afraid. You don't get that much bat on the ball without feeling it.
Cricket has gone the same way that Football has gone.
Win at all costs and sod the Sportsmanship.
The Umpiring has been poor - 30 years ago the Umpires would have got most decisions right and if they weren't sure the Batsman got the benefit of the doubt and everyone played on.

Barely anybody walks anymore so Broad was right.
Whats more is if the Aussies hadnt stupidly gambled on a review earlier (not what the system is for) they could have easily resolved the issue.

Just seen it on YouTube and wow, how the hell the umpire has missed that god only knows. Who cares anyway. Cheers Aleem:thup:
