Yeah I was up off the seat, would've given it.
Best thing about Hawkeye is that batsmen realise that they can't just lunge forward and think that they're not out. Smith very lucky.
Pace bowler hits a batsman on that spot, he's out every time. But because it's a spinner, "Good decision."
Not sure that's true. He's just another manufactured opener - something very few can pull off.
Can't wait till referrals are the norm. Would bring spin right back in it.

I see the point, and yes, Lawry was slow. But the game has changed, and he's not asking for boundaries - he's emphasising the rotation of the strike.
And we'll be hitting stumps somewhere around midnight if the NZ/WI series is anything to go by.
Where's Prcembrian and the over rates spiel when we need him?And we'll be hitting stumps somewhere around midnight if the NZ/WI series is anything to go by.
Johnson Australia's Paul Harris?
Aussie comm's should be more like the Kiwi ones, especially Mark Richardson.
Don't care how bad they are, no-one approaches Paul Allott for unfettered BS. Healy fast catching up, though.
England are the really the only unbiased commentators for the most part (some exceptions).
I don't think he's biased per say, I just can't stand the fact that he constantly whinges about scoring rates in Test matches. Not every batsman's game is to go out there and score at a strike rate of 60 from the outset, particularly against good new ball bowling, and those who don't aren't lesser players as a result. I'd expect Bill Lawry of all people to realise that.
meh, I don't hate them so much tbh.
He does always sound like he's being penetrated by something, though. Still provides good insight for the most part. And he's a WA boy.
Haha, I totally do that too. Love to give it the slow finger, tbh.
