Yeah he's having a horrible day. I sometimes wonder if the umpires should swap ends every session. You've got one bloke constantly under the pump at the end where the spinner operates and the other bloke not having all the pressure of the bat pads that entails.

Jesus that's a ****ing jaffer. What a ball to get early doors. Did well not to nick off.

Should have just sent Shami or Karn to try and smack around a quick 30 odd if possible instead of Rahane.

Never really thought about this before, but umpires must have situations they judge better than others. Some are probably better judging the bat pads off spinners, others the gloves off leg side stranglers etc. Probably worth trying to identify who the better ump for a spinner is and getting him at the spinners end.

Replay.
Silence.
Nicholas: "He hasn't got anywhere near that, has he?"

truly one of the few moments of silence we've ever got from the c9 commentary box. an all time great moment

As much as I would like Kohli to bring it home, part of me hopes for a shocker from Erasmus getting him out in the last over as the last man so that BCCI starts considering DRS seriously..
