Fyi, Ali is an off spinner and that was an off break. Everyone knew what direction the ball was going to turn.

Not questioning any of that. But these sort of dismissals are a new post DRS phenomena and whenever there's something new, there's hue and cry and over reactions as we saw in the Smith case.

Yes... and Ashwin played LATE for a ball which would have been one of the biggest turning doosra's in cricket history if it was to come near the bat. Basically, he didn't play a shot. Umpires need to grow a pair when it comes to situations like this
I would say the same for any batsmen.

Whats the worst that could happen? Everyone will cry for three days on twitter and things will keep moving.

there's no way you can give those out.

It wasn't out but tbf it shouldn't have been a run either. Don't feel like Ashwin was offering a shot.

A 140kph outswinger from Steyn once hit Harbhajan's off stump but the bail refused to budge.

Mr. Glass
No matter what his intentions were, he brought his bat down close to his pads, which makes it a shot. When your bat is that close, there is a risk of the ball taking the edge and the batsman also is at risk of a stumping because he has come down the pitch. It should count as a shot regardless of intent.

Oh I've seen the stump get hit without the bails moving a few times. I don't think I've seen the bail get hit so hard for no result before.

That review was a classic case of what I said about before the series, how will India use it not being used to using it and Atherton is spot on about Cook discussing it with the keeper as would most other captains. Obviously not going to matter in the grand scheme of things in this game but at some stage in the future they may mess up in a tight situation so they do need to use it better and learn quickly how to use it better.

with this logic you could kick the ball away so long as you kept your bat near your pad. A shot is when someone INTENDS to hit the ball. Ashwin CLEARLY never had any intention of doing so.

Yeah, Ian Gould made one of the great decisions of all-time and was rewarded with a huge tantrum from Steyn and Smith.

Is this serious?

Mr. Glass
Yes and if you act like its a shot, there are enough reasons to believe that its a shot.
This is total bollocks.

Shades of TPC's stumping in the first dig of the first test in SL. Set the tone.

It wasn't a shot. It was a bad decision that Ashwin got away with.
Let's hope the umpires don't let either team try any of that nonsense again.
Maybe they need to let the DRS umpire decide if a shot was played.
