    Well maybe he should have debuted a lot younger

        Shame to lose Johnson so early.

            A bit of fight with the last wicket. Lyon looking solid enough with the bat. Ground temp is over 42

                    That is not the point. He didn't debut earlier but when he did at 30 years of age he was a great success. So youth for the sake of playing youth isn't always the answer.

                            Never said youth for sake of youth.

                                Root decision only confirms in my mind we must ditch DRS, how can you categorically prove someone didn't hit the ball? Its simply unmeasurable

                                    Didn't the umpire give him out anyway?

                                            Yep and it was far from a howler, looked gone live. Human error has been part and parcel of the game for 150 years, the problem with DRS is that every piece of technology said that wasn't out but the technology isn't good enough to be completely definitive, its the same as the Smith decision in the UK

                                                            England need an automatic keeper law envoked immediately.
