1st test starts

robbed indeed. that was out every day of the week

[Capper]

so the seem of the ball wasnt fully inside the corridor that has been narrowed this year is what made it a umpires call.

HAd the umpire known tat it hit his foot first then he would have given it out

Therefore it's a "howler" from the ump.

Petersen finally goes!

Yeh exactly this is what I don't like about the system. It is meant to be there to give us better decisions, but with the way that they have changed it even more now, it is almost impossible to get a decision overturned. No point ot it then really.

I also hate how the umpires are allowed to call for a no-ball after everything has been played out.  They should call it as it happens or not at all.  Bullshower.  Nothing has gone right today.

its just flowerin dumb. give yourself an extra foot length on your run up and everything will be sweet. flower that annoys me

Tough day at the office for the Aussies.

Not much in the pitch at this stage it must be said. The Saffers have hardly played and missed all day.

Let's hope this doesn't progress like the 1st test against England in Brisbane. At least there is no Mitch Johnson going at 6 runs an over.

[Bill Manspeaker]

tough chance for Sids. they either stick or they don't :( needed that

[Chelskiman]

We've lost this test already.  The difference between the top test side and the third is massive.

I agree with your 2nd statement but not quite yet on the first. Not looking good though.

Lmao.

That's unfair, i thought Clarke didn't put a foot wrong today. Good day for the Aussies!
