*Official* Fourth Test at the MCG

Well the on-field umpire should've given Haddin the benefit of the doubt in the first place tbf ;)
Yeah but if the assumption is that Hawkeye isn't 100% to the extent that half a ball hitting the stumps isn't enough to overturn a not out decision, I don't see how that replay can possibly be definitive proof that the umpire made a mistake there.

The replay without hawkeye looked like the ball was snaking down to be honest. Think DRS worked perfectly there, England bowling well as a unit here.

I don't necessarily disagree, I just hate the inconsistency in the application of the DRS to out and not out lbw's.

Yeah, could argue we aren't giving ourself a chance to get Haddin out but if we had a regulation field a good chance he is 60 odd not out now and we are on the run a bit.
