Umpire's call is the most rediculous thing about the UDRS.

Why?

 

[Eds]

Stupid from Prior. Just stupid.

 

[MW1304]

That is grade A ********.

 

[Jager]

ABdV proving his worth with the gloves/elbow

Prior to break another window by the way.

 

[Woodster]

What an absolute waste of a wicket!! Prior's gone off shakking his head, but there didn't ever look a two there, not sure if Trott called yes early then a no, but it looks like Prior's done himself there. Stupid error.

 

[CWB304]

That is grade A ********.

Especially because Bell's in next. They didn't want him to bat as it is...

 

[Valer]

Re umpires call.


A few problems with it. Firstly the allowances are needlessly large, secondly taking a reveiw by saying I'm not sure.

 

[Jacknife]

These 2 have a lot of making up to do here from the last innings.

 

[Eds]

What are the rules on holding the ball/hitting the stumps with other body parts? Is arm okay? Where's the limit, if so?

 

[Thriel]

Stupid from Prior. Just stupid.

its called pressure... makes batsman do stupid things, and im sure well see more stupidness if they still going for the target

Prior meant business. Unfortunate way to get out. Feel for him.

Elbow up.

The whole point is to protect the umpire.

 

[Ilovecric]

Well SA has ten to 15 overs to take 3 wickets and set a crazy attacking field... in fact even now they should set a seriously attacking field.

 

[Jacknife]

Furious wasn't he, he fancied it.

Yeah I was wondering that - looked as if De Villiers broke the wicket with his elbow. Still, it went to replay, so obviously the 3rd ump was happy.

Prior gone, and surely that was the last throw of the dice.

 

[Valer]

Disagree, for mine it is to get better results. You don't see say the hawkeye challenge in tennis protecting the umpire/linesman.

 

[Agent Nationaux]

Will Bell survive?

CWB?

 

[Jacknife]

Ouch that took off a bit.
