why does australia like to cheat
[/quote]
Huh? .... more like England (Well to be precise James Taylor) robbed by the Umpires. Why didn't the Umpires and Match Referee know the rules and speak up? This is real embarrassment for the ICC ... reminds me of the fiasco of the 2007 WC
"Article 3.6a of Appendix 6 of the Decision Review System Playing Conditions states that the ball should have been deemed dead when the batsman (James Taylor) was given out LBW. No further runs or dismissals were possible.
Why were they running if they knew it was a dead ball?!?!?!

was he out LBW ?

He was struck on the pad by Josh Hazlewood and given lbw by umpire Aleem Dar. Taylor and James Anderson took off for a leg bye while the umpire was deliberating. Dar raised his finger while the batsmen were running. Then Glenn Maxwell's throw hit the stumps at the non-striker's end with Anderson short of his ground.
Taylor asked for a review of the lbw. It was found to be missing leg, and he was reprieved. Australia asked the umpires about the run-out of Anderson. Taylor argued the point, saying a dead ball should be called. The umpires discussed it, square-leg umpire Kumar Dharmasena appeared to speak to someone on his radio, and it was decided that the run-out could be checked and given out.
Now they say they made an error according to the rules ...

who was the 3rd Ump that ruled the run out as legal ?
[/quote]
The match referee here was Jeff Crowe, the on-field umpires Dharmasena and Dar, the third umpire Billy Bowden and the fourth umpire Joel Wilson. Did none of them know the playing conditions and speak up? It is notable that Crowe was also the match referee in the 2007 World Cup final, Dar was one of the on-field umpires and Bowden the fourth umpire. :-[
