			I always feel that LBW decisions should be automatically reviewed anyway.  But yes it is funny to take the mickey out of the Aussies.

			But with the nice weather we have had over the last week, who is staying indoors to watch cricket?  I bet a lot of people were in a pub watching it, or round a mates house to watch it.  Can't really read much into that, we need to compare the figures for a Test match when it was not so nice weather.

			True.  The only part of Wimbledon I watched was the Federer Murray match, women's final and the women's doubles final.

 Did watch a bit on Saturday though between finals.

			Ominous start from Aussies. Between 1886 and 2009 England won just one Ashes test at Lords.    |

			Will have to reserve judgement on the pitch until after England have batted on it.    |
