Stuart Clarke needs to work on his appealing ( or atleast his facial expressions) , his laconic style results in him being somewhat unconvincing.

Have not seen the side-on replay but that looks like a terrible decision. Boeta lbw to watson.

---------edit

ohh thats a shocker. Still not impressed by the selective replays from the RSA TV coverage, did not see the snicko of gibbs when he looked to have nicked it. Yet they showed smith's snicko.

Seriously, so disappointing when you see stuff like that happen. I'm all for technology to intervene on that stuff now. As much as it's a nice idea to keep the tradition of umpires calling the shots, they're just making themselves look like fools every other game now on and it really can take the genuineness of a game into dispute when you get stuff like that decision for Watson being made. He was in the air, and it hit him top of pad. Are there any batsmen in international cricket so short that they can be jumping in the air, hit at top of pad and still be given LBW legitimately?

AB nicks one to gilly, given not out. AB says he has a clicky handle. LOL

Tony heard the nick, but snicko didn't. How bizzare.

De Villiers is a very lucky man today. Not sure that was out still, was a very hollow sounding snick if it was.

Did he drop that and then catch it again afterwards before it hit the ground? Marvellous.

EDIT: Ah no, got it first time up - just a bad camera angle.
