[Bun]

Ponting just stfu. You're no longer captain. Don't pretend to act like one ****.

BTW Must admit Australia robbed there. Replays without ball tracking suggested it was pretty close.

 

[smash84]

maybe the 3rd umpire thinks Aleem Dar couldn't be wrong

 

[NasserFan207]

Baffled.

according to a comment on cricinfo

"Richard: "What a joke. Hawkeye showed the ball was clearly taking off stump, but because the middle of the ball was 1mm outside the middle of off stump it was referred back to the umpire and the original decision stands.:

 

[Spark]

Confused atm.

"- If a ‘’not out’’ decision is being reviewed, in order to report that the ball is hitting the stumps, the evidence provided by technology should show that the centre of the ball would have hit the stumps within an area demarcated by a line drawn below the lower edge of the bails and down the middle of the outer stumps."

Always thought it was 50% of the ball hitting the stumps, to the same standard as determining if it hits in line, guess not.

DRS crap is an abject failure. No idea if the close nicks are out or not, no idea if a catch has carried or not, hughes LBW in the 1st test was a joke, that last one was a joke. I just want to throw stuff at the tv, the ICC and all these clowns. I love cricket but they keep doing this ridiculous incompetent crap at every turn.

 

[SamSawnoff]

That was such a pile of nonsense. If most of the ball is hitting most of the stump, how can it be ump's call?

It's like they've taken off-stump pretty much out of the equation. Nuts.

 

[Athlai]

lol @ the reaction.

awta

 

[Oscillatingmind]

Its fair enough to go back the decision, having that standard makes sense. Should probably not lose your review when its that close though.

^^

If the decision was given "umpires call" the requesting side should not be penalized for reviewing a marginal decision.
