**Official** South Africa in England 2012

[MW1304]

Aw man that is hollow, so hollow. God awful umpiring, read your ****ing rule book.

 

[uvelocity]

thats the second 3rd umpire howler of the series. now that's a joke.

the petersen one was out for mine

 

[Jono]

What a joke.

 

[bombay_bomber]

Someone in the England camp's got compromising pictures of Rod Tucker!

 

[Cabinet96]

What the ****? Maybe England still would have won the 2005 Ashes with DRS?

 

[Spark]

Feel free to **** off to Pak Passion if you're after better discourse.

That's not out. Terrible decision. I'm not even convinced there was evidence on Hot Spot, let alone the issue of the glove being off the bat, which t plainly was.

I don't think there's too much doubt he hit it.

Equally I don't think there's any doubt that the glove is off the hand when the ball passes it. Daylight, literally.

 

[vic_orthdox]

****, that's not just 'wrong decision'. that's straight up "don't know the rules of the game"

Third umpire is Australian. Every Australian cricket follower knows the rules after Edgbaston!

 

[MW1304]

I bet Rod ****er is looking again and thinking *OH derp his hands off the bat, what have I done"

 

[four_or_six]

This is all looking very good indeed!

 

[Scaly piscine]

Now we've had some luck we've got to make it count.

 

[Spikey]

activist umpires must be stopped

 

[Expressway76]

Surely there will be official complaints lodged about that? Potentially game changing decision made with all the time and technology available and he's still ****ed it up.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Noise on snicko but that isn't available for DRS as far as I'm aware.

 

[Jacknife]

Yes the Petersen one looked like it hit the front of his glove before the side when he took his hand off.

 

[Uppercut]

Can he be given out handled the ball if he gloves it without holding the bat?

 

[Burgey]

Haha check out the slow mo of when the decision was given. Bell is such a twerp. The annoying kid you have in the team because his dad gives the good players a lift to the game.

yeah indeed...

 

[Thriel]

umpires have been paid off again i see ...

 

[jan]

So JK was not out by the laws but was given out by an umpire? *confused*

 

[Spikey]

Can he be given out handled the ball if he gloves it without holding the bat?

would go under taking evasive action i assume
