Presumably he was too far down the pitch, mustn't trust the technology to absolutely predict the correct path when it's so far from the stumps. Did look out with the naked eye though, how far he was down the track was the only thing that was going to save him.

Either trust it completely, or don't trust it competely. that's the whole point of UDRS. Why the **** is people talking about technology when it's use is still prone to human judgement (and error as in this case)??

OT- what do Indian fans think of Sourav's commentary? Today was the first i have heard of him. At the start, i thought it could be a disaster, but as he's come on again, i've enjoyed him more. He seems thoughtful and inciteful. Really liking it.

So basically of you bat 1.5/2 metre out of the crease to spinners ,then you cannot be LBW?

What a stupid rule.

Is it actually a rule? Might be some sort of guideline that Hawkeye is less reliable when the ball has further to travel, but I'm dubious as to it being actually written down as a law as such.

In any event it wasn't just clipping leg, it was hitting half way up middle.

Hawkeye said it was hitting middle and off, halfway up. If you think the technology's margin for error is great enough to question that prediction then it shouldn't be used in the first place.

Exactly... it is a more reliable guide than the 2 metre down the line "convention".

Apparently they don't trust hawkeye...which would make sense if it was clipping leg or offstump. This was hitting middle dead on.

Srsly weird.

Fine knock from Strauss. Should easily go past Sachin's 120.

India need wickets.

This match reminds me of the NZ V SOUTH AFRICA match in 2003 WC. Hosts and favourites come out n blaze away, the opposing captain of lowly-ranked side comes out and spoils the partyand silences crowd.

Only trying to explain the reason it was not given out.

Anyway, that decision's gone now, still a long long way to go.
