Nice work, you've taken him out too. We should've started this 6 overs ago.

This innings defies all logic ..
Imagine a no.5 walking in the 8th over , usually that's trouble in a 150 chase but Australia just need 18 lol

66 off 2.2 Overs ! :o

Pretty much most of the opinion says it should have been out.
Inglis / Australia are, if nothing else, guilty of not doing their homework. Watt often does this, they should have been expecting it from time to time.
In the video Inglis appears to be ready, then someone posted a still when he looked down again and then walked away. He appears to be ready, but then takes clearly isn't ready for the ball that Watt delivers.
Any umpire will tell you the ball is in play once the bowler starts his run up. Thought the Aussies played by the rules.

did the umpire give it out?

Nope, called it dead ball. It wasn't going to change the result, but I'm struggling to see how it's not out when Inglis is clearly looking set and at the bowler at the point of delivery.

I'm 50/50 on it. It's a legal tactic as far as I know, but the law does state that the umpire should call it a dead ball if the batsman is not ready. Which is kind of subjective. The batsman sets up mentally, and with trigger movements and backlift to prepare for the ball coming from around the crease, not a couple of metres behind it. So there's an argument that if the batsman says they're not ready (ie pulls away) before the point where the bowler would have been at the bowling crease it should be a no-ball.
In the end I would say they got this right. It should take be a no-ball, but if the batsman pulls away straight away then dead ball is the right call.

As I said above, just because the batsman is looking up doesn't mean they're ready
