I mean, I know decisions as a whole are better with Hawkeye, far fewer genuine howlers, etc. but **** me, good bit of bowling like that should result in a wicket.

Can't really say Hawkeye caused the issue though. It would have just been not out per the umpire's decision anyway without DRS.

And without DRS a whole lot more bits of good bowling that should result in a wicket wouldn't.

Why are you going to bed at 10?
Just a figure of speech. I'm downstairs watching Foxtel, and it's pretty lonely. Bed is upstairs and mrs is by herself watching some bull**** on netflix. I'll wander up there when I feel like it and see what kind of mood she's in

Yeah I guess that’s more to the point. I can only think it wasn’t given because umpire thought he’d nicked it. If not...

Didn't Smith get a questionable LBW against him in Perth against Maharaj? They all even out, I guess..

Probably just reviewed that one based on the decision being made by Dharmasena. Fair to assume it's likely wrong tbf.

Yeah it's just frustration now.

It started in the first innings and then the Smith decision.

Was initially surprised Rabada had bowled ****-all overs this dig but then this is probably a reasonable time to bring him in. SA bleeding for a wicket and he’s fresh and firing so probably their best chance. He’s probably their best with the older ball too.

Re: the Smith DRS, after all that commentator whinging didn’t the final replay show DRS to be correct?
Technically yes, but there's an issue with the rules surrounding DRS if that is Not Out IMO. When almost half of the ball hits in line with most of Off-stump and it looks that plumb. It should be out.

Deano really coming on to bowl his collection of pies ?

He stopped bowling after India. I think he realised he reached his career peak there with the ball.
