Chaotic process, not sure how I feel about that.
Same here. Not a fan of it, but the correct decision seemingly made.

I guess this isn't the same as a DRS decision as it was a question of whether the ball 'carried', for which the process is quite different to using the DRS to decide whether an edge was made.

Lol imagine Ian smith if Australia didn't approach the umpire until after they'd seen an on field replay. The whole world would be on the verge of ending.

Dunno how Marsh didn't break his toe tbf.

Henry definitely appealed at the time so yes, perfectly legal.
I get that, but we didn't call for a review right - that's the only way something can go upstairs? Not via a TV screen at the ground after a 'dismissal' has been turned down? I know the right decision was made, and of course I like it in this instance, but not sure correct procedure has been used.

only a half appeal though, otherwise the umps would've gone upstairs straight away I'm sure .
wrt to the legitimacy of the decision it's fine though. it does look kind of ramshackle that it only came about because they saw a big screen replay and the crowd started yelling, but eh. out is out.

it does open a can of worms wrt drs though, in theory.

What kind of process is this? Just watch the big screen for a review?
On-field umpires can go to 3rd umpire to check on groundings, normally for catches but have occasionally seen it for bump balls. Only issue here was that big screen replay showed before the two on-field umpires conferred.

Umpires can chose to go upstairs if they have any doubts.

It was an umpire's review rather than a players review, which is the way it's always been for bump balls and catches near the turf

Ofcourse thats the issue. Just wait and watch the big screen now?
