The Schrödinger's umpire's call
Tweet report for Day 2 of the fourth Ashes Test at Durham
England's captain trying to make a bit of extra money, judging by the traffic outside the ground today #Ashes pic.twitter.com/mRqtFGHJFe

@brydoncoverdale Looks like it was moving very slowly ... which is entirely fitting given yesterday's batting!

That was a ridiculously irresponsible shot from Anderson. He has undone all the hard work by the top order.

Swinging at Durham... I am sensing a @JimmyAnderson9 day.... #Ashes
— Michael Vaughan (@MichaelVaughan) August 10, 2013
All Warner had to do was hit it. Something, to be fair, he struggles with on and off the field #Ashes

Watson would have reviewed that. Guess that's why they've switched him for Warner. Same runs, but saves the reviews.
— King Cricket (@TheKingsTweets) August 10, 2013
Despite Watson's batting issues, he and Rogers averaged 49 per partnership this series. Best av of any post-Katich Aust opening pair #Ashes

Not sure it's possible to be caught behind more elegantly than that when you're trying to leave the ball. Australia 12-2.

Could be a bad day for Broad haters.... #cricket #ashes
— Innocent Bystander (@InnoBystander) August 10, 2013
Not out caught behind, not out leg before, why not check not out handling the ball and not out run out too. #Ashes
— Gaurav Sethi (@BoredCricket) August 10, 2013
It was out, but it wasn't out, but it really was out, and it wasn't out once again. Can't wait to explain DRS to my American friends

Further proof that the Schroedinger's Umpires Call is crazy.
— The Cricket Geek (@TheCricketGeek) August 10, 2013
Those are the best umpire's calls. The umpire's calls when the umpire has not even made a call.
— Dave Tickner (@tickerscricket) August 10, 2013
'81 was Botham's, '93 Warne's BOTC, '05 Freddie & KP, 06/07 = whitewash. No doubt what this Ashes series will be remembered for #DRS #ashes
— Jonathan Norman (@FulhamJon) August 10, 2013
Same thing happened to Kallis against Pak this year. Not caught behind but 3rd umpire gave him out LBW. ICC said protocol was wrong. #Ashes
— Heinz Schenk (@sportmal) August 10, 2013
It's very simple. Ump gave caught behind, proven wrong, so overturned. Ump's LBW call was not out, hence that stays with ump's call #Ashes
— Brydon Coverdale (@brydoncoverdale) August 10, 2013
Typical egotism from Broad, distracting attention away from DRS with his excellent bowling. #ashes
— Pavilion Opinions (@pavilionopinion) August 10, 2013
Irresponsible of Clarke to walk after smashing it to 1st slip, especially given Broad was involved #Ashes

Rogers and Watson: The Reunion #ashes
— Daniel Brettig (@danbrettig) August 10, 2013
Shane Watson is doing a good job of personifying nerves. #Ashes
— Freddie Wilde (@fwildecricket) August 10, 2013
Rogers 2 runs away from going past Cook for the most ugly runs in this game.
— The Cricket Geek (@TheCricketGeek) August 10, 2013
This innings from Chris Rogers is so dirty it would struggle to find a way through David Cameron's internet filters. #Ashes
— Freddie Wilde (@fwildecricket) August 10, 2013
I'm only listening and not seeing, but has Rogers scored a run off anything other than the edge?
— Gary Naylor (@garynaylor999) August 10, 2013
@MitchellGlenn Waited all series to have Watson and Rogers batting in the 35th over together. Shame it's when watto comes in at six..
— George Thiveos (@georgethiveos) August 10, 2013
These two going very well, maybe they should open... #cricket #ashes

Bresnan's bouncers are so innocuous they seem to say "sorry about the inconvenience of making you duck old chap" as they sail by #ashes

"Did you manage to get those tickets for the Test match?" "Yes, I did." "Oh good, I must dig out my four giant crayon costumes."
— Dave Tickner (@tickerscricket) August 10, 2013
Watson reaches his first 50 in 7 Tests in 2013. He has 5 50s (& no 100s) in his last 19 Tests. In his previous 18 Tests: 2 100s and 14 50s.
— Andy Zaltzman (@ZaltzCricket) August 10, 2013
Watto remains on the same number of Test centuries as Nick Compton and as Harbhajan Singh. #Ashes And as Barry Richards to be fair.

Chris Rogers right up there with the most tortured instances of the nervous 90s. Has waited 35 years and 344 days for this moment...
— Ali Martin (@Cricket_Ali) August 10, 2013
Rogers mindset can't be helped by his captain holding his head in his hands every time he plays a false shot. Tense.
— Nick Hoult (@NHoultCricket) August 10, 2013
Chris Rogers and the strokeless century. In the circumstances, a masterpiece. #ashes
— Greg Baum (@GregBaum) August 10, 2013
Magnificent ton from Chris Rogers. 20,000 first class runs in the making. Takes a long time to be an overnight success. #Ashes
— Andrew Jones (@acxjones) August 10, 2013
The crowd should be allowed to review the decision to go off for bad light. #Ashes
