Another shite umpiring call 
These umpires are pathetic.Both the umpires shouldn't be given next match. Pathetic.
So what are we on already for Umpiring mistakes?
Warner nicks it behind, Umpires say not out
Warner given lbw, missing
Khawaja nicks it behind, umpires say not out
Smith given lbw, missing
Wade out lbw, umpires say not out
Pattinson given out lbw, missing.
Anything else?

It should be a sackable offense.
Shit umpiring is one thing but if you've got reviews left and don't challenge those decisions you've only got yourself to blame.
Stevie Wonder saw that in-swinger coming. Not Pat Cummings.
Not sure I want to be batting in these conditions.
I don't even have much sympathy if you've used your reviews.
But, yeah, the umpiring hasn't been good enough.
The umpires got one right 
With Root out of form we might be having a test series with only one Test batsman making big runs for either side.
Another review...
Oh my God the umpiring.
Oh my God the umpiring.
That's the worst of the bunch.
Massive inside edge. Are these umpires death as well as blind??
Bloody hell, that is a shocking decision, the hell did he miss that.
Bring back Dharmasena!
This has to be the worst umpired game in a long time.
Once again
Feck me, this guy is a joke.
Feck me, this guy is a joke.
Wonder if the ICC will just stuff it and get An English and Australian umpire in.
The bowlers might as well just add an appeal to their run up process with these umpires.
Good 50 for smith.
Smith 50.
Gonna be sick of seeing that by the end of the series.

I’ve been slammed at work today but reading back through the live text and sounds like they’re having a mare
Stuart Broad is way ahead of you on that one.
How the feck do you get Smith out?
Feels like he makes at least 70 every time he bats against England.

I have only been able to follow on Cricinfo a bit.
Is Anderson injured?
Is Anderson injured?
Is there a worse duo?
Was talking about this with a guy at work - why don't other batsmen try his strategy. He's made it most impossible for someone to get him out by edging it to the slips.
Ridiculous record.Tweet

I always find it strange that Steven Smith, of all people, might go down as the greatest test batsman of this era.
Atherton was saying pre game Smiths whole technique is very similar to Bradman and that he's surprised more don't try and copy it.
Bradman averaged 99 and Smith averages what? 65?
First saw him in the 10/11 Ashes series and thought he had the ugliest technique I'd seen in quite a while.
Amazing what he's gone on to do.
I remember when he was regarded as a "big hitting allrounder who could bowl leg spin".
Like you say, his rise has been immense.
Annoying partnership this.
