Looks like game.... hopefully Cook gets a chance to get to his 100.

Why does Michael Clarke have a higher intonation on the last word of every sentence. Aren't you only meant to do that with questions or when being quizzical?

he trying his best yeah

 

[harsh.ag]

How is that not doubt in favour of batsman wrt inside edge?

 

[Tangles]

there was a small edge there

Agreed. No benefit of the doubt anymore.

 

[Dan_M_Bali]

I guess the third umpire just couldn't be bothered to listen to Taylor whinge about it for the few hours... So just gave it out.

 

[slippy888]

Small mark on snicko

 

[Starfighter]

Philander to score another annoying thirty-odd.

Hash Amla will hold a presser with the whole squad behind him to reinforce the righteousness of the cause.

 

[Dan_M_Bali]

Yay. Don't think there was enough to confirm that as an edge.

He clearly edged it.

But **** it... Aus need a little bit of luck.

'Clearly' =/= tiny sound and no hotspot marks at all.

Small mark on snicko after ball passes de kock bat

How is that not doubt in favour of batsman wrt inside edge?

I don't know. The only way I can think of is if Llong ruled out the possibility of an edge, which doesn't seem to be part of DRS protocol. By rules, that should've been not out.

 

[Zinzan]

Lol @ the ICC, these decisions are so inconsistent. Didn't see it, but it sounds like the opposite extreme of the interpretation Gould used to change his decision on KW the other day.

 

[slippy888]

you guys reckon DU plussies regrets declaring 1st inning now

 

[morgieb]

'Clearly' =/= tiny sound and no hotspot marks at all.

The point is that it was given not out. If given out I'd have no problems with it staying out. As it is there was enough evidence to say that you shouldn't overturn it.

 

[indiaholic]

Wasn't the snicko spike after the ball had passed the bat? Or is there an issue with the number of frames in the video?

 

[StephenZA]

you guys reckon du plussies regrets declaring 1st inning now

no...

 

[Dan_M_Bali]

Jackson Bird has quite a long run up considering the pace he bowls at.

 

[Zinzan]

I doubt it actually. Doesn't seem like the fickle type.
