Now why the fuck wasn't that referred to the third umpire, exactly the same as Hauritz's yesterday.

Should be 0-fer.

34-2; marginal decision though.

You can't be caught out off a no-ball though can you?

Anyone know what the weather is like around Old Trafford now?

no you cant, you can only be run out.

the game is being played in london not mcr, mate.

Lanky v Derbs I am on about in the prestigious Pro40 comp at 13.45hrs

Yes, marinal, not completely wrong.

;-P

They didn't refer it because the umpires were certain. Simple as that.

I don't blame Hughes for not walking (looked like Punter sent him back to be fair). The people who booed him are idiots.

I want us to win but I also want to go tomorrow.

Extra points for making sure it had an Australian reference, Jim.

Watch (i think it's North) and your other spinners when they bowl.

Every single ball is both a wide and full no ball (front foot landing outside the side line and the popping crease.)

It seems the umpire's aren't actually looking for no balls in this test, perhaps they've got confused with Wimbledon and think Cyclops will help them!?

Deffinately wasn't blatant, can see why the umpire thought it carried at full speed.

Both these umpires have been poor recently imo.
