Forrest looks like a deer in headlights... and he's only just arrived at the non-striker's end. Hope he can stick around for a while.

mid-on is way too wide to clarke. jadeja has to be really careful with his line or he could find that he's gone for the easiest four of all time down the ground

Clarke called the run, Warner jogged about 4-5 steps while ballwatching and not really paying attention to Clarke, and by the time he decided to go back Clarke was already well committed.

I must've missed the call 'cos I didn't hear a thing. Definitely too much ballwatching going on though, from both.

Clarke pinging a few fielders here.

Adding into this: It's one of those calls in the grey area - in theory Clarke is running to the danger end and so you know calls the run, but Warner has the better sight of the ball and maybe thought 'nope there's not a run'.

I'm not sure Warner would have made it itbt. Clarke definitely called the run on the basis of him thinking the ball was past him (because he couldn't see the ball).

I think they'd have made it had they gone straight away, but the stutter made it impossible.

EDIT: Not a good run though since that would have been on the basis that Rohit took a few seconds to recover the ball - but given that they couldn't see it...
