'What's the opposite of a Shane Watson?'

Like James Vince yesterday, Dawid Malan didn't review his lbw decision despite nicking the ball.

Former cricketers were besides themselves.

Some on Twitter tried to give an explanation.

The whole "I can't think of a time I nicked the ball and I didn't know" is such a weird way to think.

I always knew all the times that I nicked it, but I don't remember the times when I didn't know that I nicked it, but I had nicked it.

I have a theory if anyone's interested. Your big edges on your modern bats mean you're less likely to feel a nick. I don't have any science for this theory, leave that to the boffins, but it feels like it might not be bollocks.

Others were more interested in the jokes, bringing up famously frequent reviewer Shane Watson...

..and the infamous Stuart Broad non-walk from 2013.

Malan's got more bat on that than Stuart Broad did at Trent Bridge.

...and Steven Smith's infamous 'brainfade' in India earlier this year.

England should follow the Australian model and look to the dressing rooms for DRS guidance.#Ashes

And who was to blame? Was it only Malan, or was non-striker Alastair Cook also responsible?

Not quite sure why Cook is expected to spot an inside edge at the other end, that neither the umpire nor the batsmen (Vince & Malan) themselves were aware of. He's good, but not that good. #ashes

And don't forget the umpires.

Once again not one mention of the fact that the umpire has missed a massive inside edge. DRS really has shifted criticism away from officials. Before it umpire would be lambasted.
