Except the umpire, seemingly, who has officiated in all of four T20Is before today.

I am officially pissed off at this match no matter how it ends from here.

Not out. Man, I dunno. Side on seemed to introduce an element of doubt that there wasn't in the first couple of angles.
Huge call. Martin having an extended word with Taylor in his follow through. Bot of edge creeping in.

To be fair that was almost an impossible decision for the 3rd ump as the camera work was so bad.

Have to say NZ have every right to be upset concerning some of these decisions.

The umpire didn't give him out though. Replace "umpire" with "fielder" in your post and I agree completely.
I don't really have an opinion either way on the catch because my video quality is far too terrible but if it was close then we should go by the fielder's word IMO.

Yeah true. I figure the umpire thought it was probably out though, but figured that they better go up to the 3rd umpire just in case.
I don't completely agree with accepting the fielder in catches like this one. Or should I say near catches..

I'm pretty sure they had better 3rd umpires and cameramen back in the dark ages, tbh.This is like cricket back in the dark ages before UDRS was invented
Heck, Dean du Plessis could tell it was out.

I know this should be more humiliating than Bangladesh giving us a scare a couple of years ago, but it's only the bowling that has me fuming. Vettori had to do most of the work against Bangladesh, but in the first three innings most of the team contributed. I know I had a rage in the other thread, but Zimbabwe are also batting really, really well.
I actually think this is more convincing for Zimbabwe because it isn't Vettori vs Shakib with 20 extras.

The umpire was clearly in no position to make a decision though given it was four fifths of the way to boundary. You have to either give the BOTD to the fielder or the batsman really - or just man up and have the third umpire make a close call, which is what I think they've done here. Not that I'm saying they've made the right one.

Crazy talk. Srs. If I was Taylor in a tense Test, no way would I take the word of some **** claiming a catch.
