Would have lost the review anyway.
He only had 90 overs to work into a rhythm!

The umpire's call is sensible and makes perfect sense. What is s**t is people's understanding of why it is in place.
TBH, if the players realised that the umpire thought he had played a shot, the first one is a shocking review. It hit him a mile outside the line.

I don't think you should lose a review on umpires call

Until it happens to someone else other than an Australian right?
The umpires call makes perfect sense, given the technology we are dealing with.
Well, I was 1 run off.
Seeing Lyon turning it square doesn't exactly instill me with confidence... though out of Pakistan's spinners, one is on debut, one has played two tests for 6 wickets, and the other is Hafeez. If we can't handle that lot we don't deserve to win.

The system is to Remove howlers not for captains to have hail Mary's on 50/50's. You want to gamble on a close one you deserve to lose the challenge if wrong

Early wickets will be the key tomorrow good to see Johnson carrying on his form no doubt he is the best in the world at the moment

Drs was brought in to stop the howler.
If the decision is not clearly wrong, then you lose a review. Pretty simple to me

Like a third seamer should and All Rounder should
Provided solid support for Siddle and Johnson, was economic as hell
Dont recall him creating too many chances

he's not a first class spinner, in fact he's crap and O'Keefe looks shyte as well
He must do better on day two. He has been in the side long enough to do better. This is where we need him to perform more than anywhere else and to barely threaten the batsmen all day and be easier to get away than any other bowler is very disappointing.

Yes, umpire's call makes perfect sense when you're talking about a ball trajectory prediction because it's not 100% accurate, but it doesn't make sense when used for objective facts like where the ball pitched or impacted.
Not poorly, wasn't overly dangerous but was tight and kept hitting that spot.
Marsh bowled a disciplined line at a good clip, getting a bit of reverse swing at times. Very encouraging first up performance.
Johnson's still the man though. Even in conditions extremely unconducive to pace bowling, it's still bloody hard for any batsman to combat him at the moment. Very patient and disciplined knocks from Younis, Azhar and Misbah as was anticipated, but thanks to Johnson I think Australia sit slightly ahead in the game. O'Keefe and Lyon were fairly disappointing.
