Er, you can only get out twice in a game

No, I don't have a problem with that. What I do have a problem with is the ICC claiming that the umpires have a 97.xxx% correct call rate on DRS. But they never include the bloopers when there are no reviews left.

Also, I have a problem when Broad is called a cheat yet Nevill is not and not even questioned by the Aussie commentators. It is typical hypocrisy.

What I'm saying is Eng got him out four times, just the umpires only gave him out once in this innings when DRS showed he was out on all four occasions.

DRS works just fine

If captains waste their reviews then that's their indaba

Cook wasted his

Doesn't matter. We still can't hit top of off. When we do it looks dangerous. Until then. Game over.

I'm not blaming DRS! What I said was the umpires made bad calls. It's pretty rare umpires will make 3 incorrect decisions for the same batsman in the one innings. That is what happened. You seem to be suggesting that Cook shouldn't have wasted his reviews. That says to me then that it shouldn't matter if umpires make bad calls. That is a really bad and negative stance for the game in my view, especially when you can prove a ball would go on and hit the stumps and still lose a review. That's not wasting a review.

Less than half a ball hitting the stump. Well any umpire would give that a benefit of the doubt to the batsmen.

I wouldn't get to upset about that. You have some celebrating to do.

Yeah a bunch of my mates were travelling up from London and all. Train tickets weren't cheap. At least game tickets get a refund. Best ground in the world for fun. That said never been to West Indies. That looks like fun.
