FMD, I read this, looked up and saw irony dying in a corner.

Ponting just said it was a fantastic decision, love him these days.

I think that was only 2 metres (the dismissal, not the rule)

My point is that if aus had no reviews left it would have been a risky call and he could have looked stupid if proved wrong. As they had reviews in the bank they could contest it and get the decision overturned but the umpire was right after all
Because you'd get through about thirty overs in a day. Maybe 15 if we've got Jadeja appealing in India.

It's fair IMO. This isn't a subjective question with grey areas. It's black and white. Out or not. And it was proven to be Out. So to continue to argue with the fact that it's out is to basically argue against the truth. Which is scummy

The 2.5 m rule.... I thought it became umpires decision. So if given out stayed, not out stayed. It was that 2.5m DRS considered inaccurate, I think that`s changed since then though.
So this game has gone pretty much as predicted so far. Strong Aus top order dodgy middle order going into a long tail. SA dodgy opening pair, middle order weak. But longish batting with QDK at 7. And both teams having a bowling line-up that could turn the game in a session....

Nah it's not black and white. Hawkeye isn't perfect. It was probably a 50-50 decision. Fine with it going either way. Just move on imo.

how do we know though? opposite could be said which might come across true as well unless we are telepathically connecting with dar's mind. remove smith from the picture and it looks out

dude no
Nah, that's rule-of-thumb developed when sawing off a bloke LBW mattered more because he had no recourse against a decision, and park umpires are actually pretty ****. Still fundamentally good to use in park cricket IMO, but when the tech is there to overturn the aggressive LBW decisions if they're wrong, the umpires should be giving them if they think the ball is hitting the stumps (and all other criteria are satisfied).
In a game where the balance has shifted further and further to the batsman, I have no issue whatsoever with aggressive LBWs being given, considering errors will be overturned and the marginal ones are actually out.
