what are they having for lunch ?
Given caught out, which was the wrong decision.
However, there was also an appeal for LBW that wasnt given, but was out.
So the umpires have got it wrong, but got it right. If that makes sense
Strange stuff.
The umpires asksthe 3rd umpire if it had carried - he says yes but doesn't tell them that it happened to be off the pad.
Hawkeye idicates that it would have hit leg stump - so it was probably out anyway although this test group of umpires seem to need a ball to be hitting half way up middle stump before they usually give an LBW.
By referring it to the 3rd umpire the umpires had indicated they thought it had hit the bat, so the 3rd umpire can only judge whether it carried or not.
It is both the Aussies and England fault for any poor decisions. They had the opportunity to use the referal system and I think both turned it down
