Cook's decisions

Interesting to see that the first LBW shout to Alastair Cook was shown to have hit the inside edge within seconds by hotspot - I thought one of the objections to using that to help umpires was that it took too long.

Then he was given out by one that looked at first glance on TV to be going over the top and so Hawkeye thought too. No UDRS - more wrong decisions than is necessary.

Trott will no doubt get out now but he's looking quality early in his innings!

Hotspot exposes Bollinger hairline

England didn't even have the luxury of Hotspot in South Africa, but it appears that where it is used, it can help with more than just umpiring decisions.

Players like Shane Warne are well known for their attempts to halt the loss of hair, and now poor old Doug Bollinger seems to have been exposed by Hotspot in his follow through! (Thanks to Steyning's man in Australia Pete Vielvoye for pointing this out).

Bollinger seems to have put in a pretty special performance with the ball taking 4 wickets, leading to another cringe-worthy headline starting "Bollinger explodes..." but sadly for him the Australian public will probably remember his hairline more than his bowling in this game!
