This is a 3rd umpire's nightmare

edit: huh apparently not. 3rd umpire doesn't even care if the stumps were broken correctly

ponting too busy moaning about how that can't be out that he missed the umpire saying wickets were correctly broken

One thing is for sure: if he was standing behind the stumps like a boring australian keeper, Marnus would have been safe

that is an interesting case tbh. i don’t think i’ve ever seen “the ball hits the stumps at the same moment as the gloves sans ball demolish them” before

I'm not sure he missed that, the confusing part was there is no way the 3rd umpire could have known that from the replays so not sure why he just assumed it. It's still not clear now.

no he missed the 3rd ump giving it the tick and then moving onto the matter of the bat being in the air or not. the ump literally said "wickets were correctly broken" but because Ponting was moaning, the statement went through to the keeper. very poor commentating
