Nah, it was out. But he would have got away with it if it hadn't been for the referral system, and after playing so well you kinda wish he did.
Technically the correct decision. I'm still not sold on it though.

Given not out then got reversed after Gayle challenged it. Was out.

Yeah through bad umpiring.

Hurry the **** up?
DWTA. Umpire could never be sure it's hit in line. Not out was the correct call.

Harden the **** up.
Completely disagree. Without technological intervention 90% of umpires would have given it not out simply because there was enough doubt to be uncertain it definitely hit him in line. I'm pretty sure that would have been termed as a good decision if there was no technology involved.

Ah, coo, coo.
Having an inspection according to Cricinfo. So they should be, can just about see the pitch from here.
THANK GOD.

Flynn getting out really ruined the day for me. I'll wait until I see the dismissal before I make any comments on it. Either way, to let Gayle get 3 wickets (2 of which were complete giveaways) was just awful and has seriously put our chances of getting a decent first innings score in jeopardy. Still not that big a fan of Taylor at 4 to be honest, but I'll leave that aside for now. We need at least 450 to drive for a win in this match, and that's by no means assured at the moment.

Honestly the opposition can't get Ross out, he's too good for that. Unfortunately his brain explodes all the fricken time.

Nah, agree with SirBloody Idiot. On the live action shot, I thought it might have hit him outside off, but once the replays started rolling, I knew Flynn was a dead duck. I'm assuming Koertzen had access to Hawkeye as well? If so, I couldn't understand the incredibly long delay between the decision being referred upstairs and the final decision. On the replays, it looked good enough to give, and on the Hawkeye, there was absolutely no doubt the ball hit him in line with off. I'm definitely not a fan if it's going to take that long - there's barely enough overs in a day as it is without an ungainly, disjointed referral system.
And may I also add that I'm gutted for Flynn. The most humorous part of the whole day was the fact that last night one of our workmates (on holiday in Hong Kong, but doing some work for us while there) sent an 836-word email arguing against Flynn being moved to 3. He rung up today and we advised him that (at the time) Flynn was unbeaten on 82...

Don't think umpires are officially allowed to use Hawkeye in their decisions, are they?

No. They are given hawkeye to assess whether the ball pitched in line and hit in line.
