Pix, at times when you bat you don't know if you've nicked it, times like that...

you do. Makes a mockery of any runs you thereafter hit, pointless runs - you were out. Really really bad that for the game at any level. In the end, Cricket at lower levels relies on borrowed umpires from each team giving decisions on their own team mates, and actually, leagues survive and flourish because of the honesty of Cricket. Terrible example from the top of the game, then again, Broad would use every review off his own bowling even when it pitches a foot outside off stump. Sorry no good for me. Terrible for Cricket at any level. Sounds a bit contrite, suppose it's called professional sport - Cheating is allowed.
