Richy Richardson is match ref.
He was just standing back with a smirk on his his face watching Root trying to play the this is in the too hard basket.
Only thing that can have the game abandoned is if the wicket is dangerous after resumption, I reckon play will start at some stage.
Geez I hope it does.
Poms should be just preparing to bat.

I wouldn't say robbed, unfortunately Bird has jumped the queue on the back of some impressive performances.

I tend to agree

The third umpire / Drs should be to change the blunders

For the umpire to give that not out was not a blunder

There is no way the field umpire could have given that out.
Right decision IMO

It's a shame no batsmen from any country will take the word of a fielder but I guess that's the nature of the beast these days

What is a shame is our skipper carry's on like a pelican every time things don't go his way.

Be rattled on the inside, remain calm on the outside. Smithy has much to learn in that aspect of his game.

Why can't he just be normal?

Those days are gone mate.
It’s a shame though as only the fielder really knows if he caught it.
