The real embarrassment is how he reacts to getting bowled everytime, even when he is clean bowled.

It's gonna be better for batting day 2, possibly 3.

That Kohli decision was so rough for the third umpire. I think it was probably pad-bat-pad. I think you have to go in with the onfield umpire's decision. I second the need for higher FPS cameras though.

I have no problems with what the 3rd umpire decided or even how he decided but there is no way that was pad-bat-pad.

I've been replaying it over and over again and I think I see two deflections - first from pad to bat and then from bat to pad. But it could easily be just me convincing myself too - the FPS is too slow for it to be definitive.

I still think it was bat first then pad for Kohlis dismissal. I don’t know what it is with Kohlis struggle of form since the corona period.

Actually looking at it yet again, I think you're right. These are the best angles, and the bat is closer to the ball and not behind like it may look like from the initial angle.

And if you see the whole replay, you can actually see him move his front foot away from the line of the ball to bring his bat towards it. Like I said, it is the foreshortening effect of the camera that makes it seem closer front on than it actually was. Its a dismissal that most umpires would never give out on field and that is how it should have been IMO. The mistake was the onfield call, the third umpire had no other option but to let the decision stay if he did not find the evidence conclusive.
And while there are the usual idiotic takes from a couple of the usual suspects, I think Virat actually handled it pretty well. He asked his doubt, got an explanation and then walked off. Showed disappointment without letting it get into the dissent levels like he usually does. Fair play all around. Its one of those unlucky things that seem to go against you when you are out of form.

Who's hospitalized? Ravindra? Ajaz said in the press he came down with a bug. Hope it's not covid

Looks that way. At best the first impact was both at the same time. Definitely wasn't bat first, right decision by 3rd umpire. If on field gave it not out you'd probably stick with that too, way too much doubt to overturn anything

That wasn't out in my opinion. I think there was enough evidence it hit the bat prior. That said umpiring has been terrible this series. Young's was a terrible decision too and I guess the umpires were supposed to sound out to the batter the time was running out which didn't happen.
Yesterday the umpire didn't even see the DRS and was telling the umpire in the middle to stick with his decision. It's been that bad.
I guess treat it like how Young, Latham did, take it on the chin and move on. There'll be few more blunders as the game progresses.

I actually think it was bat first on the balance of probabilities tbh but it's so hard to tell that I think the third umpire made the right decision to stick with the on field call.
If anything the standing umpire ****ed up - there's no way he was thinking "pad-bat-pad" when it happened and gave it out based on that, he just missed the edge.

I haven't heard this sick Rachin theory from anyone but you, but I assume you'd know. If he was too unwell to bowl the overs they'd usually want they definitely should have played Phillips instead. It might have even made them less tempted to play Somerville ahead of Wagner.

It appears one of the Black Caps young stars in Rachin Ravindra has been battling himself as much as the Indian cricketers

All things told there from what you've said, that doesn't make a bad decision at all does it? Bat and pad at the same time, and even when I'm watching after the referral, I couldn't tell which was first. At normal speed on field, there's nothing bad about that decision at all. It's near on a 50/50 decision, and in 50/50 you have to call heads or tails. Umpire called heads, some think it was tails. I think it's OK to say it was a really marginal one, Kohli is probably a touch unlucky potentially, but we move on.
