Good game all

[Number4]

Poor decision again for DRS

[Vic Nicholas]

England saved their referrals, Australia did not.

DRS literally won this test for England and lost it for Australia.

No one to blame, but themselves.

You just know the cricket Gods were always going to finish it this way.

Incredible.

He hit it though

That's a terrible way to end the match on an unconvincing DRS. Still, it's one the best test matches I've ever watched!

[The_Bird]

We are set up for one of the greatest series of all time if this is anything to go by. The talent might not be there of series in the past but the nerves under pressure of both sides there was something to marvel at!

[Twelfth Man]

Clearly the correct decision with hot spot and snicko showing that there was an edge. What a great test match, unbelievable!

[procricket]

Now did Brad Haddin know he hit it should be be ridiculed like Broad

I can never remember me snicking and not knowing

What a great test match win lose or draw great game

[smokem]

In the end, the better team won the game. No doubt about that!

[tim2000s]

What a game. What we've learned is thatEngland have made better use of DRS generally than Australia have. Having said that, we've also learned a lot more about how fallible DRS is. I like Agnew's idea. You get one referral, which you use solely for the clanger.

Seeing it all again, he definitely did hit it. However, I reckon the hotspot was rather unconvincing.....

Mate, it was OUT.

Plain and simple.

If you are looking for gripes...not having a DRS up the sleeve for Broad was THE game turner for Australia. That partnership was put England out of sight.

No one to blame but ourselves.

Cowan killed our momentum last night. Shouldn't be in the team let alone at #3.

I would have sent Smith in at #3 yesterdau instead of Cowan with a license to attack at will and keep the scoreboard moving after the good opening stand.

Cowan killed it and then teh loss of three wickets quick before stumps finished it.

The tail end heroics just made it look better for us.

[Jenko]

Australia's top order gets their (No Swearing Please) together and we will give the poms more of a scare then this. Not many in England gave Australia a chance of even coming close so will be a wake up call for many. Hope Australia can get a win next game

[Number4]

He hit it though

Missed it by a mile

Question: why isn't hot spot showing up like it used to? Maybe they have found something to use on the edges so it doesn't show up as much? Any ideas

Fantastic match though I'd rather have seen it end with Finn's leaping catch or Australia getting those last 15 runs than a DRS out.
