    Sour grapes. I suppose Australia have had no dubious decisions since 1986/87 series when they kept winning? Even in this series some spring to mind:

    Pieterson 2nd test 2nd innings caught off elbow!
    Bell Both innings same match did he actually nick either?
    Strauss 3rd test 2nd innings How many blades of grass did the ball touch for Martyn's catch? (He is now getting his just desserts for his cheating!)

    Hodge incidentally should be commended for his honesty

    Personal opinion re technology
    Umpires and their decisions are part of the game and I am willing for them to stay good or bad. Technology will slow the game down even more (75 overs a day?) - how long would it have taken for technology to have reached a decision regarding Ponting today?
