How exactly was it a guess, if he thinks its out his finger should go up.

It was Tony Hill. It was a guess.

On field umpires are watching the game at 85mph tbf

This.

We went on Friday and it was hard even picking up some of Harris' deliveries coming down at 85mph+ from the stands.

I don't think umpires should be giving batsmen out when the decision is a marginal as that, it just smacks of guessing/arse covering.

"If I'm wrong, it'll be overturned anyway so no harm done. Oh, it clipped the stumps by a milimetre, decision stands, unlucky batsman."

The umpiring this series has been crap in general.

Absolutely bizarre. they have to make a decision whether they think the requirements of an LBW decision has been met and when they are proven to be correct they are accused of arse covering. They get enough genuine criticism without getting slagged off for making correct decisions also. Mental.

[Mackem DJ]

Durham CCC will take a slight financial kicking refunding them £25 tickets for tommorows session but hey-ho, could have been far worse looking at some of our weather in August in summers gone by.

Love the replays of our lads celebrating that last wicket with the Aussies looking sick as chips in the stand in the background!

 

[chopsfc007]

broads left it late had him for leading wicket taker for us

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

For all England have upped it, I'm sorry but this has been a massive bottlejob by the Aussies. Great to watch like but they were 100-0 a couple of hours ago ffs.

 

[Mr Redknapp]

broad world class

Was just talking about this.

He needs a Captain like Hussain or Brearley to wind him up imo. Cook and Strauss seem laid back characters and Broad seems to me the type of bowler that needs winding up.

True, but all the more funny as a result

Of course it is an why they were never likely to chase this total down despite the arse dropping.
