This decision can be dubbed as one of the biggest and obvious howlers made by the third umpire while reviewing the on-field call.

Usman Khawaja was the unfortunate batsman to be given out, even as there was clear daylight between the ball and the bat. Khawaja pushed at a straighter one from Graeme Swann but completely missed the ball. On field umpire Tony Hill declared Khawaja out, and the decision was reviewed, but third umpire Kumar Dharamsena for some reason decided not to overturn the decision.

The match ended in a draw and England went on to retain the Ashes, even as Australia dominated the entire duration of the Test match.
