Terrible, terrible umpiring. 3 of the 4 were clearly not out.
Funny isn't it? Over the years the English have been slaughtered if they make the slightest mention that there could have been a harsh decision. Straight away the "whinging poms" flag gets raised.
Shoe on the other foot and you can hear the stuck pigs for miles.
I am not qualified to give the above advice!

Step back, have a think and adjust my own own attitude from time to time
And one of those seemed to be genuinely Out, but had it been referred to the 3rd umpire, it would have been called Not Out under this stupid "benefit of doubt to the batsman" / "beyond reasonable doubt" guideline.
The umpire did the right thing by calling it straight out - because that's what it probably was.
However, I can understand Ricky Ponting being a bit miffed because they appear to be a bit inconsistent when yesterday they referred an Aussie catch to the 3rd umpire, who ruled it Not Out because he "couldn't be 100% sure"...
