Bellerive = slow. Always and forever.

Just what NZ needed, can anything else go wrong today ?

 

[Furball]

With Athers on this. I reckon that he's edged it, but the ball has hit the pad first.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

So Dar's explanation is that he thought that the spot was from pad? Where was the evidence of the bat hitting the pad? I didn't see any.

 

[Ryan19]

I think the bat clearly hit the pad; the bat was miles away from the ball. He would have been incredibly lucky to survive.

 

[Bahnz]

Poor Jess, when it gets squeezed like that the benefit usually goes to the batsman.

 

[Spark]

What an appeal!

 

[Zinzan]

Refer it then u ugly ** Siddle

 

[hazsa19]

Aleem Dar that is an absolute shocker. ****ing ridiculous, poor NZ.

 

[Athlai]

It was tight and it was a 50/50 call. But if you want to not get out then don't get hit plumb in front.

 

[Joao]

McCullum to score a ton here at a strike rate less than 55.

Also thank god Sir Richard has retired or we'd give that 47 a shake again.

 

[Spikey]

What an appeal!

He didn't give up

 

[Neil Pickup]

Regardless of what actually happened, there is doubt. This length of discussion is enough proof of that; ergo not out. Certainly not enough to overturn. Really poor from the third umpire.

That and it hit the pad first anyway - which I agree with, but can you be certain?

But Precam always said Dar > UDRS. Now I'm confused

 

[Zinzan]

They should have referred it, Dar would have still given it even if there was a spot

 

[Bahnz]

Aleem Dar that is an absolute shocker. ****ing ridiculous, poor NZ.

Was Dar the one responsible for the ridiculous overturning of a caught behind off Ian Bell at last year's ashes.

 

[Prince EWS]

Terrible footwork from Taylor.

 

[Crazy Sam]

Looked clear to me that it struck the pad first??!

 

[Polo23]

Whats the point of having the technology when the third umpire doesn't use it? Surely ANY mark on the bat that is where the ball past (and theres no way it was pad, since the bat didn't hit the pad where the ball past) raises doubt making the decision not out. Ridiculous.
