Look there is no hero in this match - the entire result is tainted because of di tiefing Lyon and the horrific error by di umpire. New Zealand would have won dis fair and square.

The Aussies are not to blame...Lyon walked off....the umpire requested a review and the idiotic 3rd umpire made a stupid decision

The on field umpire got it wrong as well. Lyon knew he was out - that is why he walked even when the on-field umpire got it wrong.

ICC admits incorrect judgement

The ICC has admitted that third umpire Nigel Llong made "an incorrect judgement" while using technology to decide on New Zealand's review of the appeal for catch against Nathan Lyon, which had been given not out on the field on the second day of the day-night Test in Adelaide.

"ICC has reviewed the decision and acknowledged that it was incorrect," it said on Twitter, adding that it had replied to New Zealand Cricket's questioning of the decision. "ICC confirms the umpire followed the correct protocol, but made an incorrect judgement."

The decision was hotly debated and criticised by television commentators and the media at the time, and drew unhappy but guarded reactions from New Zealand players Ross Taylor and Brendon McCullum, and the coach Mike Hesson because it had a significant impact on the Test.

Australia were 8 for 118 in reply to New Zealand's 202 on the second day when Lyon top-edged an attempted sweep off left-arm spinner Mitchell Santner into his shoulder and up to slip. New Zealand's appeal was denied on field by umpire S Ravi, and McCullum asked for a review.
