Well you sounded like he was just lucky to be there. You didn't say you loved his knock then, you've just expected me to think you loved it yet you said he was lucky to be there...oh well. Hussain didn't need to speed up, he set Australia a very large target and gave his bowlers plenty of time and the got the breakthroughs for him.

21.4 Caddick to Bichel, OUT: struck on the pad by a ball going a mile down leg and also rather high, umpire Russell Tiffin seems to love giving rubbish lbw decisions, here's another one

Says it all really
:rolleyes:

Add another poor decision to his total...

That ball to bichel was going that far down leg, Orchard at square leg could've fielded it...
:!( :!( :!( :!( :!(

Ok Rich says it wasn't that bad "Everyone first thought that (way down leg-side), but Hake-eye said it would have just hit leg" "He was right back in the crease and hit about knee role"

Nah it was above the knee-roll. Hawkeye says it was an amazingly good decision (or a guess) but at normal speed, I certainly wouldn't have given it out..............

also Vaughn could have easily got a pair the way he got out in the first innings, he got lucky in the the new ball for aussies in the 2nd innings didn't seem to want to swing much at all
You find it impossible to give any credit don't you?

The ball didn't seem to want to swing?

Maybe, shock horror, it was a poor effort by the opening bowlers?

Poor Tiffin, gets one right and still gets slated!

I suppose Waugh's bowled was a wrong decision as well? ;)

You've changed your tune ;)
Yeah well it depends on the circumstances. If there's someone like Bangar blocking every ball during a run chase that's not good...

Let's think about it...Played On? Nah, doesn't really explain it does it? What about "Inside-Edged Onto The Stumps" ahhhhh I think we have a winner here, nice and simple!

Try - "He's too old so his reflexes aren't what they were so he didn't deal with it and was bowled"

Well another GREAT performance from Tiffen again last night...

Some of those LBW's he gave not out were unbelieveable...

I mean im not complaining they went Australia's way:P :P , But this guy just doesn't seem to have a clue... if he is one of the top 8 umpires in the World Cricket is in trouble...

Mate i don't understand the selectors thinking, they replaced a opening bowler(Gillespie) with a average All-Rounder(Symonds)

We should have had 3 quicks....
The bowling lacked depth...


Did u see some of those LBW calls Rich??

They were ordinary, i mean taking middle stump half way up....
