I honestly appreciate it.
I thought so first up, but the replays suggest that the noise may have been just after the ball passed the edge.
That was very out.
Be fair, everyone else at the time thought that Kasper was out as well. It was only the replays which showed his hand off the handle at the time.

I didn't see that dismissal, but i'm not gonna moan and whinge about it for another four years.
You couldn't put a tenner on the Aussies could you?I've just put a crafty fiver on england by the way
This. No ball or not, Strauss still played rather limply at a ball just outside off, and he paid the price for it.

200 coming up for him!
Some of them are inconclusive, but Snicko shows exactly what realtime sounded like: An edge.
Oh well, just been really awful umpiring all round this series. Sad.

Yup, agreed.
You do like your hyperbole, don't you? Decisions like that are not 'awful,' they're marginal. Awful is where massive no balls are missed (like Strauss here and that Flintoff wicket at Lord's), people are out when they obviously haven't hit it, or are given lb when the ball pitches a mile outside leg.
E2A: as I believe I have observed before, I don't recall a single instance of a team winning a test undeservedly due to umpiring mistakes.
any chance of a score update?ta

Not awful at all.
If they've done that, how have they managed not to ban U75 as well?Ta for the updates. All sport sites banned at work
Nope. Pretty steady so far. If they keep at it like this, they should post a decent total.

Oh learn to read. I never said that decision was awful. I said the umpiring this series has been awful. There have been numerous very poor decisions, and plenty more merely bad ones. Which adds up to, wait for it, awful umpiring.
The only terrible decision I've even mentioned more than a week after the fact is the Symonds non-dismissal at Sydney. One of cricket's great thefts.TrippyLondoner said:

But it is a place of timewasting and procrastination par excéllence.Cause its not a sport site.
