well if Clarke's decision was upheld then you really can't say this was a no-ball.

Benefit of the doubt in the bowler's favour. Kinda like Clarke's dismissal, so I guess this evens it up.

Malinga lost a bowled dismissal vs NZ with the EXACT same situation.. called a no-ball.. this is bull****.

Well batted Sanga!
Not to take away from his innings, or any others in this match, but when will we have the discussion that's needed about over-preparation of wickets? I know Sydney is a drop-in pitch, which means the original characteristics of the traditional Sydney wicket are long gone, but is this seriously what we're up for now...pitches that see teams score almost 400 and offer sweet **** all for the bowlers? I know something came up about this during the summer series vs India, but whoever the boffins are who know **** all about cricket have decided wickets that do nothing for bowlers should be the norm for 'crowd entertainment'. It's ridiculous. I'd prefer to see a game like Aus vs NZ than this.
Maybe if this could be addressed, and the issue of wickets being prepared for the home team's advantage that play markedly differently to what they normally do, then cricket would improve as a spectacle overall.

Umpire's original call was fair ball so it stays with that
