[QUOTE="Darwin, post: 607738, member: 24910"] Lol. I find it amusing the way many Australian's have a reacted to the Broad incident. He simply did the same thing 1000's of other batsmen have done before - the fact the umpire made a shocking mistake is not his fault. If only there was some system in place to prevent shocking umpiring calls..... Oh wait there is. If Michael Clarke had actually used the system as it was designed (to eliminate these shocking decisions) rather than waste their reviews there wouldn't have been an issue :) Even if Broad did something wrong (which he didn't) I would have though Australians would have embraced that it - after all they are the country that produced Dyer the liar ([URL]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P44ywF3iGqw[/URL]) ;) Anyways.... Australia did well to fight back (thanks to Haddin and Johnson) after being 100-odd for 5 at one stage, but England certainly had he better of day one. I particularly enjoyed the fact that Broad was the main destroyer. The Gabba pitch traditionally flattens out on days 2,3 and 4, so England should look to take advantage of these conditions (once they get the final 2 Aussie wickets). [/QUOTE]
