    Third umpire

    This umpire is disgraceful. That's two appeals gone windies way when it was obviously out. Funny this is happening the same time as all the match fixing scandals are happening.

    They were pretty shocking decisions but I think the issue was that there was still a small amount of doubt so they err on the side of caution

    The Johnson LBW was given out original so the evidence that he obviously wasn't out had to be 100%

    Which I don't think it was.

    I have to say that the cricket has been quite off this year, and there have been some absolute howlers of decisions made that have affected both sides in a match be it tests, ODI or T20. No wonder the stadiums are not filled to capacity any more, and the organisers shuffle the spectators into areas where the TV pictures will give the impression of being full.

    The game has been to bowler dominated lately. Even people like me who like to watch the cricket no matter what. It not very interesting watching people score at 3 an over.

    Plus the added shuffling of teams. I don't many players on the team as well as I knew teams of old. The need a solid team.
