Computer says no SoC.

Love tail-ender innings like that.

Only when it's for your side

 

[Matt79]

hence "like that"...

 

[Uppercut]

I absolutely love De Villiers's fielding. Those ones where the commentators say, "not really a chance, but sometimes they stick"- De Villiers takes those every time.

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

Referal, missing for mine on first look.

 

[four_or_six]

I'm going for not out on this one...

 

[Neil Pickup]

Hello... that's hitting outside isn't it?

EDIT - yes: this is a judgement of fact and therefore is an easy not-out

 

[Matt79]

C'mon Harper!!!

EDIT: Ah, nuts.

 

[kingkallis]

So Referral 1 wasted! It looked not out!

True! I saw that in the lunch session. It was a stunner! What a player ABDV is...

 

[SirBloody Idiot]

So they are advertising Hawkeye as one hundred per cent correct, now? Did I hear that right?

 

[Mister Wright]

You'd want to be pretty sure if you're going to use a referral in the first over.

Certainly more correct than any umpire, it seems.

 

[Johnners]

You'd want to be pretty sure using a referral at any stage really...

Can understand why he did it, it's Smith ffs. If he's gone in the first over again that's a huge blow to SA.

 

[Matt79]

Smith would be the only SA batsman you would do that for - and yes, I realise he's one of only two likely to be in that situation, but he's the key.

Technically one of seven who could be referred in the first over in the unlikely event that 5 wickets fall off the first five balls and an appeal occurs on the last delivery.

 

[Uppercut]

I love Smith's late cut down through the slips. One of my favourite shots these days.

 

[mikeW]

Johnno to get Smith trapped on the crease imo.
