1st Test: Australia V Pakistan

[RoosterMarty]

I think it's time Mitchell Johnson says enough is enough and starts throwing the willow a bit, this negative bowling has cut the runs down to nothing

Probably best to wait for Watto to get to triple figures before he starts going too crazy.

no respect for the experienced umpire. Rudy makes some shockers in his time but he tends to give the batsmen the benefit of the doubt with LB's, if he gives you, there's a fair chance you're out.

Rudi has lost all respect by embarrassing himself over the past couple of years. He was a good umpire but has become the worst in the game and just doesn't realise it's time to give it away. Just making a fool of himself. I'd be referring almost any decision he makes as there's a very good chance he is wrong.

It's more of the criteria behind overturning an LBW is what I'm getting at, unless there's bat in it, 90% of them will go back to the umpire's decision. In Hussey's instance I thought he was clutching at straws to save himself.

As I said earlier there was genuine doubt for Husseys decision. 1cm up or to the right and it would have been overturned hardly clutching at straws or being selfish.

No it wouldn't have, it pitched within specs, it hit in line, there was no bat, it would've gone back to the umpires decision whether hawkeye said it was going to hit the wickets or not. There's no doubt he thought he was getting harsh done by, all I was saying is that he wasted a challenge on a 50/50, save them for edges or when it's more like a 70/30.
