i mean, sound doesn't travel backwards in time. if a sound has appeared before the ball has reached the bat, then...

Could be background noise. It also appears at the far edge of the line rather than the centre. Dunnow what that means, but could be nothing really.

There was a snick on RTS when the ball passed the bat. What more evidence is needed?

Well the evidence also shows the sound appeared before the ball reached the bat. No HotSpot either. Easy to see why there would be enough doubt to not overturn the original decision.

TBH I think the changes to what can be overturned rest on the Nigel Llong saga in that Australia/New Zealand Test at Adelaide.

it could indeed be background noise! one thing it cannot be is the ball hitting the bat.

under the protocols that really should be not out.

Finally some gumption is shown as soon as we do away with being satisfied with singles.

Smart

Manjrekar with some good picks for his team of the decade (watling as keeper) all undone by not picking Steyn. What the ****.

nah, hotspot is too unreliable for this. it misses a ton of obvious nicks. there's a case for not bothering with it at all tbh, the cases where it's useful are very niche and marginal.

we did just fine without Hotspot last summer tbh

Maybe one too many Aussies but Clarke was really good for a while there.

as much as i would like it to be otherwise, there's no way on god's earth that clarke gets in above abdv.

edit: and there's no way rabada gets in over anderson either.

But there was also a spike when the ball passed the bat. A bigger one. You can not assume that the source for that bigger spike was the same as the smaller spike when the ball was away from the bat right?

And using the word 'Protocol' is misleading. It is not actually written anywhere in black and white that 'if there is a spike before the ball crosses the bat, you must give it not out, even if there is a spike when the ball does pass the bat'. I've just checked the playing conditions, take a look for yourself:

Ultimately the third umpire has to be satisfied that there was an edge. He can use the real-time replay as well, and in that you can hear a faint snick.
