Looked plumb to me actually. I'd have given it. It was only marginally high on the replay, so there's really no way that an umpire should be criticized for giving that out.

2/79 for Windies in that session
very good one for Aus, two wickets coming within around 4 balls..
and 2 huge wickets, whilst only 80 runs in the session which is good restricting as they went at 4 yesty..

very entertaining session too with Bravo smoking Casson then Casson getting his revenge

You sure? I'm fairly certain it showed it going just over. At least the first time they showed it. Either way, it was a fair decision.

Yeah, they just showed it again in fact. It's easy to think it's suggesting it's going over the top because the bails disappear when the ball hits the stumps on the Hawk Eye animation leaving just the red line passing over the bail-less stumps, but you can hear the "bails falling" noise and notice the lack of bails when this occurs. :p

Nah, on at least a couple of the Hawk Eye replays the bails were there. I assure you. Because I heard the noise, but saw the bails intact and saw the line passing marginally over the top. Confused me a bit, but the bails were definitely intact. I'm neither an idiot, nor insane. I assure you. :blink:

Hope you saw that last replay Liam - bails definitely came off. :p

Didn't tbh. Only just switched back. I'm not disputing that there exists a replay which shows the bails coming off, but I am saying that there was at least one where the bails did not come off. It's really pedantic, but I assure you that it is the case. It's not like there's not precedent for incorrect/mixed up Hawk Eye replays.

It's hardly pedantic at all. Your credibility as a poster, heck, as a human being, is on the line here Camps.
