Atherton is saying that DRS has allowed the spinners to get more wickets because umpires are now willing to give outs when the batsman tries to sweep but ball hits pad

Nah, reckon they got it right.

Well isn't this fun?
Pakistan should be looking at 500 here - it's a bloody road. We will then have to channel the spirits of Brisbane and not bat like a bunch of morons second dig.

Even more of a mistake then, first over, too close to cut. Had he smashed it for four i'd have still been criticising him.

No, Atherton is saying that umpires now give LBW when the batsman pushes forward with bat and pad together, when previously spinners would only get LBWs when the batsman was sweeping.

This pitch isn't going to offer reverse. Gul got a little but that was all.

Why do you say that?
Clearly a second spinner would have been more effective then a 3rd fast bowler here.

I'd tend to agree. With the DRS always in the fray, umpires are allowed to be more aggressive.

Hindsight is a wonderful thing but England were never going to play 2 spinners once Bresnan went home.

What is Anderson crying about with the ump?

The second spinner option can't bat...our success is founded in batting deep.
