Sky Sports need a kick up the jacksie. Sri Lanka reviewed an LBW on Latham on 97, they couldn't give the umpire off side hot spot, leg side hot spot was so far back that with Latham sweeping you couldn't see hot spot, and then to top it off they couldn't give the third umpire ball tracker. Perhaps most embarrassing though was Paul Reiffel himself, who couldn't see, even though it was clear as water, that Latham had knocked the cover off the ball. Reiffel you dunce, the easiest way to tell is that the way, which was going up, all of a sudden when going to the edge of the bat, goes down and completely changes trajectory. They need to send these third umpires to spec-savers. The other thing, even though it was comprehensively not out, because not all parts of the technology were usable, Sri Lanka retain their review. It was a poor review, and they kept it due to poor technology.
Good hundred from Latham. Finally he converts one of his many starts. If he can keep converting, and learn to pick up more singles, he'll be a top class test bat.
Angelo Mathews, what a toss of a captain. The bloke opens the bowling, with the wind, with his slow military mediums, and then puts his fastest bloke, young Chameera who is a very good young talent IMO, straight into the wind first change. Then they were so far behind the over rate, despite bowling Herath until he was bashed out of the attack, to the point it you could only say it was deliberate time wasting.
