the standard of umpiring in this series has been deplorable. there are only two half decent umpires, aleem dar and simoun taufel, but taufel can never umpire an australian test, for reasons i cannot comprehend. strauss' lb first ball was even more plumb than bell's 30 million chances at edgbaston.
what a ripper of a catch marcus north!!
on paper, england's side looks shithouse. bopara's a spud, cook's done nothing this series, the sherminator is a little weed, and the best bat outside of strauss has been your worst bowler, hoppers crossing's own stuart broad.
The reason is the infamous umpire Bunsall (spelling?) fiasco in India. Aus needed 100 to win the series in the final innings, 4 wrong decisions, and the final one, McGrath, LBW to Harbijan, the slow motion replay actually showed him raising his finger before the ball hit the pad
