Yeah, Not sure what the point of using hot spot is if that was given not-out.

Big wicket, Herath looked dangerous.

Good decision. The snicko mic is in the stumps right? I wonder if the sound was obscured because Herath's bat and pads were between the noise and the mic.

Weird one that. Traditionally if one of hotspot or snicko doesn't pick up a feather, it's usually hotspot that fails.

Just because snicko had nothing.. I could see another umpire not giving it out honestly.
Nah, what else could cause a dot to suddenly appear on hot-spot, just as the ball passes? As I said, there's no point using hotspot otherwise. The lack of noise on snicko, was negative evidence, the hotspot, positive.

Agreed. Absence of Evidence is not Evidence of Absence.

Not saying it wasn't out because I think it was, just that some umpires would take conservative option imo.

No 3rd umpire that deserves to keep his job given hot spot clearly showed an edge. It would of course be entirely different if the game was in the UAE where they don't have hot spot.
