The immovable objects Cook and Trott have become.....

I still don't understand why, if the ball is going to hit the stumps, It's given Not Out.

LBW is always a hypothetical, Hawkeye is an enhanced prediction but a prediction nonetheless, and the ICC don't want to take out the role of the umpire completely, so their judgement is still key.

Although given the umpiring in this match, their judgement has been simply poor.

Blimey... Siddle gets the edge from Root... and a sitter is dropped by Clarke at 2nd slip. :eek:

England are really under pressure here...
 










You have to factor in that Hawkeye is not 100% accurate. So if the umpire gave it not out, that decision should stand. If the Umpire had given that out and England had reviewed it, it would have been given out.

OK, thanks. One more question though.

Do they lose a review even if it finds in their favour or is it Tennis style?

No - if the review is correct, then they don't lose one of their two.

It's not going to matter for England now, as both have been used... and failed.
