***Official*** New Zealand in India 2012

Thought the catch was clean from the angle that showed the fielder's back. Looked like he always had a couple of fingers under the ball.

I agree with the idea that fielder should get benefit of doubt in these sorts of scenario, however imo the first angle from the back, although from quite far away, clearly showed ball bouncing up into hands
Is this a new rule interpretation that the fielder gets the benefit of the doubt - martin sneddon against Greg Chappell certainly didn't.

Right decision, IMO.

Kohli claimed the catch, and there's no clear evidence it didn't carry.
I agree with you in principle, though I'm not quite sure how the umpires gave it. Usually they seem to take the view that there needs to be a clear picture of the ball landing in the hands (or daylight between hand and ground).

I think that's wrong - the policy should be to give it out unless there's clear evidence it bounced.

But without any clear rule change, I think Taylor was a touch unlucky to come up against an umpire willing to trust his judgement.

It's basciallly India get the benefit of the doubt in India. No wonder they don't want the DRS. For India, it is all about winning at home to keep the up the brand. Away games don't mean anything to them.

Except SA , who does well away.

And doing well at home shouldn't be undermined. England were jumping up and down after being no 1 mostly on the basis of their home games (more than India. If someone asks I'll prop up stats) and no one said anything and now they can't even win at home.

Do you realize how bitter you sound? NZ is a **** team, not that Indian cricket smells of roses either. You'd be hard pressed even with the DRS in India.
