Aleem has had a shocker! Feels like a little bit of vindication after England had some decisions go against them yesterday but those were fairly marginal whereas that was an absolute stinker.
Ten years ago you could feel really hard done by, but now... Shouldn't have wasted your reviews boys!

Broad did a brilliant job of selling that as if nothing happened, to be fair. Serves them right for that really stupid LBW appeal.
The umpire was probably fooled by the deflection off the keepers gloves. You win and you lose, don't see why Broad should shift the balance the Aussies way. If it goes against you, you have to accept it and walk off.

Spent my late teens believing this was the man,
he was a presenter that I could watch, very drool and never boring.
Alan Whicker had a great life...travelled the world mixing with the rich and famous at a time when few travelled abroad.
Everyone on the BBC live text feed is saying Broad should have walked "in the spirit of the game"....
Crap like that is why we never win anything. "Sportsmanship" is the last refuge of the loser. The plucky Brit happy to come home second, "well at least I was a good sport!" he says. Doesn't change the fact that you lost, does it?
They have 2 reviews...use them wisely. Happened in the Murray match...Djokovic lost it because he had used up his reviews and he wanted the Umpire just to review a call off his own bat. As it happened, he would still have lost the point, but it could have been important.
Fair enough it's the umpires decision. You don't see footballers walking off if the ref misses a bad tackle!
