    Oh for heaven's sake! What is wrong with our number 2 bats?! You could put Cobham 2nds out there and their bowling attack would cater for our number 2 within minutes. *******s to it!

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

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

    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.
