Because he waiting for the umpire's decision. Otherwise he'd have wasted a review.

Don't think it counts if he's right, only loses a review if he's wrong...
Oh alright, the way the Aussies celebrated I thought Billy had given it out.
Cook gets his 100, another very good knock from him and he's having a great time in Australia. Remarkable turn around for him considering how poor he was in the summer, well played.
Well done Cook , class 100
That's another century for Cook...hope he can carry this form back to England in the summer...he seems almost unstoppable at the moment...
No, it counts whether you lose or win a review.
Great century from Cook, he's really answered his critics this series with his performances.
222 - double Nelson...
I stand corrected sir...
No it only counts when you lose a review.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't count unless they get it wrong. In effect, it's 2 unsuccessful reviews per innings.
Ahh... looks like I stand corrected. I guess, I'm still getting to grips with these.new laws.
And shit!
And shit!
Collingwood out. Well done Michael Beer, finally gets his wicket.
Silly from Collingwood.
Cook goes, fair play to Beer he's been chipping away at Cook & probably deserves his wicket
Collingwood is a spaz, to be fair.
You mean Collingwood?
Bell at 7, Sky don't know what they are doing...
Its late, I should be in bed...
I'd be happy to finish with 100 runs ahead of the Aussies & then hope for our bowling attack to come on strong when this wicket develops further.
Beer's looking more confident and dangerous after his first wicket
Time for bed...night all...
Michael HoldingNice to see almost all the fans wearing pink for the McGrath foundation, and good to see McGrath himself, Australia could've used him this series.
Not as much as they could have used Warne.
Agreed on the amount of pink, restores faith in humanity.

You can say that again... great, great bowler. Came across very well just there actually, whereas I'd always thought he was a bit of a git to be honest!!

Alistair Cook 700 runs for the series at an average of 140, apparently...phenomenal, really. It was mentioned a few minutes ago also that he has set a record for time batted in a series for England at 2,026 minutes.
Brilliant from Cookie and fking shameful from Hughes - he should hang his head
If they manage anything near 400 it ought to be enough to put heaps of pressure on them
Anything less and I can see a draw

This is sweet isn't it
Well worth reveling in it as it probably won't happen like this again.
These two really can take it it on can't they - tremendous stuff
If we're still out there the other side of tea this is effectively finished
Fking handsome I say

England dominate yet another session, 378-5 at tea. The 6th wicket partnership is now worth over 150 and they added 101 without loss in session.
England have played pretty well this series but good Lord Australia have never looked so bad.

Well they're both still there as they take tea and the lead is a hundred
At worst a draw and a series win but we ought now to convert this into a solid win
Tremendous from the lads
I can go to bed a happy man

Yep classic case of not replacing what is in effect the irreplaceable - Warne McGrath etc.
Can't feel sorry for them though - they've rammed it in our faces until recent years and this is a real stuffing on their own turf as well
Knowing them though they won't be this poor again once they've had time to rebuild
Pretty hard to feel anything but glee and amusement TBH.
This was worth staying up for.
Cook out for 189. England should get out of the innings with a 150 lead, hopefully closer to 200.
Bell gets his 100. England heading for a huge lead. 458-6 !
Can't see any reason not to bat on, can't give them any chance to win this game, surely not even England can loose this match from this position?

Australia getting hammered again.
England deserve a 3-1 series win at the very least.

I was hoping me setting foot back home would bring some luck for Australia...it did.
Bad luck.
This series can't be wiped from the memory bank quick enough.
