Should have had a wicket first ball. I have seen the replay many times - Poor decision from Erasmus.

How can people say this when the technology showed that whether or not it would have hit legstump was inconclusive? An I missing something here?

I agree Boult is unlucky that a 50/50 call didn't go his way first ball, but to call it a poor decisions is just wrong. Umpires call means the tech was inconclusive, which means Erasmus was fine giving it not out.

He seriously messed up that catch. He clearly did not realise that he was so close to the rope before he took the ball, and only checked as an afterthought. By then it was too late.

Everyone knows he a champion fast bowler and one of the greats of our generation but he got he adjustments wrong why give stokes a ball in his arc when he bowled 2 perfect wide Yorkers, why change when the requirement is 15 runs off 4 balls.

I can’t believe anyone genuinely thinks it was about to miss leg. That’s hilarious.

So in one thread we have people trusting their eyes over DRS, and in the other thread we have people who want DRS trusted over people's eyes.

And they're the same people.

Well done guys.

Yeah according to DRS, it was probably 49% hitting the stumps. So ridiculous. Was smashing poles over if you ask me.

You were watching it from dead behind the wickets with the benefit of technology built into your vision to track the ball then we’re you?

Maybe they should make the percentage change depending on how far away from the stumps the impact is
