Three.
The Cremer lbw was a reasonable call in real time. Looked to have hit bat and pad and Cremer was pushing the pad a little ahead of the bat.

ervine, prince, and kramer all would have been reprieved by re watching the fricking footage
even srinivasan would agree that's probably fine... actually why isn't video replay DRS standard, this shows it should be

but it was wrong, common sense and a video replay review would have shown that

Why QDK? Is he a bit of a Watson when it comes to DRS?

Rubbish just rubbish. After 4 good days of cricket. Do the umpires have an early flight out or something?
Obscure memory: Anyone remember this Sharjah tri series final in 1996 where NZ had Pakistan all out for 150 and looked on course for a major upset? I think around 5 dubious lbw decisions that day ensured NZ continued the trend of being Wasim and Waqar's whipping boys in that decade

Video replay, yes.
Common sense, how? Batsman is thrusting his pad down the line of the stumps to an offie bowling around the wicket. Ball straightens, takes bat/pad or pad/bat and would have gone on to hit the stumps. Is it common sense to think that it must have been bat first ???
You appear to be missing the point that it is literally the umpires entire job to decide whether it hits the bat or pad first, and given the rest of their glaring errors in this match it is fair enough to not feel very charitable towards them,
Good preparation for NZ I would say though. Zimbabwe fought hard and NZ looked in really good order all around aside from their spin options, which aren't going to be very relevant anyway.

Very excitable....he has convinced AB to go for a number of referrals where the bat and ball where an inch apart and no sound... I will put it down to youth at the moment.
Thought he was good when the Lankans visited last year.
Checked Cricinfo scorecards, last 3 tests with DRS for Pistol:
NZ v SL, 5 DRS appeals, 4 struck down, 1 upheld.
Pak v Eng (UAE), 8 appeals, 7 struck down, 1 upheld
Pak v Eng (UAE), 8 appeals, 8 struck down.
Or perhaps you meant some earlier series?

I could be wrong, it might just be coincidental that I've seen just about all his bad ones then.

Well, good bye Zimbabwe. Sometimes their cricket wasn't the best, but there were some admirable individual performances and as a team it was an all-round better showing this second test. Really hope they can keep playing cricket and improving, and that the situation in the country improves in time too.
