This time the Aussies received some dodgy LBW decisions accoring to the commentators. Me thinks the umpires have to consult their rule books.
Well done to Darren Lehmann who finally scored his maiden test century. Did't see the innings but i guess it must have been entertaining.
The West Indies bowling attack have been a disappointment this series. One must question the effect of sacking Hooper had on team moral.

The Torres bounce is officially dead. You are walking alone now Fernando.

At stumps, Australia are 3/391.
A wonderful 3rd. wicket partnership of 315 in 438 balls from the Aussie captain, Ricky Ponting, and Darren Lehmann, was the highlight of the first day's play.
Lehmann scored 160 of them. Through the week, he had put himself on notice by bravely declaring this was his last chance. What an innings!!
His first 50 took 90 balls, his second took 67 and his last 60 came up in 68. He hit 21 fours and 1 six.
Ponting is on 146 n.o. (19 fours and 1 six) and could get anything tomorrow but will probably begin by feeding the strike to Adam Gilchrist.

JLC, It's not the law book Asoka needs to look at - it's the phone book !!
Yellow Pages, Optometrists.
The law re. 'ball pitching outside the line of leg' is clear enough - it's almost the easiest to understand - but much better umpires than de Silva have got it wrong on occasions. It's just that the two given today were so glaringly wrong.
I don't want the umpires completely replaced by machines but this area certainly should be looked at in this regard.
Harbhajan's hat trick against Australia will always be tainted because the ball was clearly shown to have pitched outside the line in the Gilchrist lbw, the second wicket.
Chanderpaul had hit 100 in 69 balls, in the first Test, when given out with the ball clearly pitching WELL outside the line.
We have the technology and can get a replay, complete with superimposed tramlines, in a few seconds. The ump could think, "Mmm that's hitting the stumps but it was close to the legstump line. I'll check with the 3rd. umpy"
As far as time lost is concerned, the whole process would take maybe 10 seconds. Far less than the time taken in the other two areas where the 3rd. umpire and replays are consulted.

Kirtsen is a joke of an umpire.......lmao
Lehmann got the biggest nick you could see and he was given not out caught behind prior to reaching his centiry. Umpiring has hit a new low......lol lol Surely there are better umpires in cricket ??

The floodgates are opening !
Gilly's 50 (52) came up from 60 balls. He's now 56. Punter is on 185. 3/487.
