Campbell overturned two decisions before finally falling for 28.

So, we have three reviews now, instead of two?
I read that it's because there are no neutral umpires!

Looking at the positives, there's plenty of potential for improvement.

A quote I saw is that with only home umpires the quality might be less. But these are two experienced unternational umpires.
First time I've seen Sibley. Surprisingly unorthodox. Clearly works for him in CC.

Wouldnt say they were howlers though. A lot were marginal decisions

The problem is that it's the marginal ones where bias will show up - when they think it's close and just give everything England's way. Hopefully they'll reflect on that and there will be an improvement.
WI did exceptionally well today with both their cricket and their decision making on reviews

I understand the desire to develop some fast men for when we go to the subcontinent/Australia, but this was overcast Southampton on a skiddy wicket. Seems tailor made for Broad. I don't know how a guy who has nearly 500 test wickets, average 28 (26 at home) and has bowled some of the greatest spells in recent England history still seems to need to fight for his place in perfect conditions for him.
