Nah it wasn't clear at all. At best, it was a 50-50. In case of a 50-50, the umpire's call (i.e. not called no-ball) should stand.
No way that was 50-50.. any reasonable 3rd ump would give that no ball.

And what's this BS that it's the umpire's fault cos they don't call no balls consistently? Just get your foot behind the damn line - especially as a spinner, no excuse.

Bowlers make mistakes. When umpires call no balls they recognize the errror of their ways and adjust. Umpire never calls. Bowler never adjusts. Umpire decides to review only when a wicket falls. Fans of the team impacted are pissed.

Its not bull****. If you want to be a part of a discussion, be respectful and stop trying to be edgy. There are times when you have to call bull****, bull****, this isn't one of those times.

Maybe it's just me but the Philander dismissal looked similar to the AB no-ball call. The heel was closer to being behind the crease but it wasn't so obvious for the umpires to move on after a quick look imo.. AB's call was obvious though.
