Re: Cricket

A couple of the Australians were also given out unfairly so it tends to even things out. Watching on TV with the benefit of several different angles, snickometers and ultra slow motion cameras can show the umpire got decisions wrong but they only have one angle and no slow motion. Overall the umpires do a very good job and the only way to improve things would be to allow the third umpire to review all decisions using the available technology.

Vaughan hasn't done such a bad job for the country during his time in control IMHO.

England have a pretty fair lead which will mean Australia have to beat the all time highest 4th innings score for a win in test matches at Edgbaston if they are to go on and win.

England 182 all out, a sterling performance from Flintoff. Australia need 282 to win, can they do it? It would mean the highest ever 4th innings score in a test match at Edgbaston.
