Finally, a perfect example of the review system being good.

Everyone thought he'd nicked that- the bowler, keeper, commentators, everyone watching on TV i'm sure thought he had- so there's no shame in Bucknor getting it wrong. But still the right decision was made. If the system is used reasonably and they iron out the severe inconsistencies there's no way in hell it'll detract from the umpire's authority.

Just saw the footage of Ponting angrily talking to Rauf yesterday.
What was he upset about?

One of the things I'm coming to enjoy least about the referral system is that we have to have the commentators going on and on about it rather than concentrating to the cricket.

True. That being said I agree with Cullinan (I think its him commentating) with regards to Rauf changing his decision and awarding Kallis a single (rather than leg bye) to get a ton.
I very rarely side with Ricky when he cracks a **** at an umpire (every 5 tests or so). But this time he was right. If you're reversing leg bye decisions when a batsman is on 99, why not when they are on 0? Or 23? Or 87?
There needs to be a consistent system.

Kallis hit a ball, Rauf called it a leg bye, Kallis complained to Rauf that he hit it, Rauf changed the ruling.
Ponting was well within his rights.

Was classic the way it was so easy to lip read what he was saying.

Nah, this guy has caused us way too much trouble to just be dismissed quietly. Most likely will be unbeaten if SA get bowled out or declare.Albie to get out early then.

Too busy with b00bs, and good on them IMO.
