REVIEW TO A KILL

The Poms aren't happy.

Although, when I read on the ball-by-ball that England wanted their review back, I thought the Crooky boys were taking the piss:

ECB ask for reinstatement of lost review

The ECB has asked the ICC to reinstate the review that was used up for the controversial appeal against Graeme Smith on the second day at the Wanderers. Daryl Harper, the TV umpire, upheld the on-field decision of 'not out' made by Tony Hill, but England were furious when it emerged he hadn't had the volume turned up to hear the nick.

Is it possible to spit the dummy and suck sour grapes at the same time?

Does Robin Jackman have a reputation for saying dumb things? He should. Time and again he gets it wrong. "That's plumb." Not out. "Sliding down leg." Hit him outside off. "Leg byes there." Snicked it. He also mozzed Boucher big time by blithely stating it was only a matter of time until Boucher got his hundred and Smith declared. If Giles Clarke is looking for a goat to scape he should look no further than Jacklin and his confusing commentary.

I heard that RJ is never keen on commentating the last session. He likes to up stumps before the tea break, head to the bar and get stuck in.
Sounds fair enough to me!

John Arlott never commented the last session because of his love of red wine
