My big objection to the pink ball so far is that it looks utterly fùcking silly. :-(
It's moving about a fair bit. Oh dear, 2 down now.

Yet another ridiculously easy umpire decision that's not given and forced the bowling side to refer.

I've always said it's Strauss' fault; he went before we were ready to replace him.

Yes. It does allow mediocre umpires to play save by giving everything not out and then leaving it to the technology to correct.

It is starting to look as though no new batsmen want to go to Australia, isn't it?

The one for Monty's hat-trick is the last test was an utter nonsense. As soon as it hit the pad it was so utterly straight that I still have no idea how it wasn't given

Yes. All the worse when you consider the one that was given to dismiss Bairstow on 99, where the system basically ended up backing up what was in fact a pīss poor decision.
