Close but not close enough: 5 biggest umpiring blunders of 2013

3. Stuart Broad, Caught

An incident, which is now infamous. As Ashton Agar bowled a short delivery on off stump, Broad shaped to cut, and got a massive edge that deflected off Brad Haddin’s gloves to Michael Clarke at first slip. Aleem Dar didn’t see the massive edge, and Broad stayed on. Australia couldn’t review the decision, as they had used up both their opportunities to use DRS incorrectly. There was a major debate that followed, as to whether Broad should have walked or not, but he didn’t, and he stayed on and scored some useflu runs that were priceless in England’s push for a victory in the first Test of the Ashes.
