Some more poor decisions from the umpires. Is it just the DRS making them look worse, or are they just not as focussed these days because they know the review system is there?
That's probably gonna be it for the day.

I think they are more prepared to make a decision knowing it can be corrected however I think Umpires are now better than say 30 years ago. They are better trained and officiate a lot more. Having said that I think the only area that has improved is runouts and stumpings by DRS.
