[Warney]

[cricket_cox]

well Andrew "winging, douchebag, lying, cheating POM" Strauss just said that his 11 men have all helped in England winning at lords for the first time in 75 years. Actually genius 13 men when you count the umpires!

mate. If you have been umpiring for 100 tests. Looking at the crease when at the bowlers end should be as normal a thing as breathing. Any cricekt fan has the right to give Rudi ****!

 

[howzat]

And how many did hansie play?

 

[dannyboy4]

yes but there was a lbw shout that wasnt out to bopara given out so u no there r always a few bad descisions time to time

 

[holzbauer]

i must admit the umps did make a few too many mistakes in the one innings, not good enough really, in the end it had a real impact on the game, who knows what might of happened if katto, hughes and huss had another chance each! we might be 1 up instead of 1 down. anyway games over, bring back binga!!!

50% of lbws are not spot on. A no-ball there is no doubt at all!

yeah you really shouldnt be missing something like that at this level, it costs teams test matches. katich had been in great form and he had started well. sure he should of left it but he shouldnt of been out. hope rudy puts this behind him and does well in the next few

lol their first innings was ruined by rain which made it slightly harder to bat.

Not to mention Pontings dogey out when it wasn't out either in first innings lol.

Aus bowlers need a lot of work.

but in the end it doesn't matter, cricket is cricket. sometimes the luck is with you sometimes it isn't. Sadly majority of cricket games are decided on that and not how it was played.
