***Official*** England in West Indies 2015

My first guess was that it was far too high. Not the worst review, as it appeared to shave a stump.
It's one of those that I'm more happy to see not given out; looked high but if it'd been given it would've stood.

One of those where the ump couldn't be sure and, rightly, doubt to the batsman.

With Howe on this one. Leg stump lbws have always been a massive bugbear of mine.

And I'm fully in the camp that you don't lose a review for Umpire's Call. The West Indies reviewed that because they thought it was hitting. HawkEye has said it's more than likely hitting, so they were correct to call for a review, but tough ****, it wasn't hitting enough.

Some serious short rank stuff from Windies 'spinners'.

Losing this amount of overs with spinners on is shocking, total disrespect for punters in ground.

Well, in principle I agree.

But....., what if technology will improve and ball-tracking will become 99,99% accurate. In such a situation it does makes sense to simply bring it upstairs anyway (like we do with run outs / stumpings). We will simply come to the conclusion that the bail would have been gone, had the batsman not stopped tha ball with his body.

Azhar Ali soaked up the first few years of his career in a failed attempt to be a bowling allrounder; that's probably why he seems younger than he is.
