THE STORY

During the first Ashes Test at Trent Bridge in July 2013, England's Stuart Broad edged an Ashton Agar delivery that deflected from wicketkeeper Brad Haddin and was caught by Australia captain Michael Clarke at first slip. Umpire Aleem Dar ruled Broad not out. Australia had already used all of its available reviews, so the decision could not be challenged. Broad remained at the crease and went on to score 65 as England eventually won the Test by 14 runs.

WHY IT MATTERS

The incident became a major debate about the Decision Review System, review management, umpire authority and whether batters should voluntarily walk after edging a catch.
