Has he hit that? Faint mark there...

 

[Zinzan]

Hot spot, can't be out

 

[Prince EWS]

Bellerive = slow. Always and forever.

Pitch too.

gun post.

 

[Spark]

So what was that mark about?

 

[Top_Cat]

But I thought Hotspot is infallible?

Was enough doubt as to where that spot on his inside edge came from to give that not, tbh.

 

[Zinzan]

Haha what a joke, what was that dot?

 

[Athlai]

Fair enough tbh. Reckon it hit the pad first.

 

[Spark]

Bizarre. There was a mark there...

(Although I do think it hit pad first... just - either way there was doubt)

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

If you have to look at hotspot for half an hour surely there is some doubt there.

 

[hazsa19]

Lol no-one is telling me that from the tv evidence, he definitely did not hit that.

These umpires just don't help themselves sometimes.

 

[TumTum]

The mark on the bat is too small and bright to be from touching the pad. Definitely edged it. Stupid decision.

 

[Zinzan]

Fair enough tbh. Reckon it hit the pad first.

There was a small dot right in line with the ball or am I blind?

 

[Prince EWS]

Has he hit that? Faint mark there...

Yeah, it's odd. If the bat hit the pad then I think there'd be a bigger mark than the one that was there; it was either an inside edge or typical HotSpot random thing. Really starting to think we should do away with HotSpot tbh.

 

[Ruckus]

Yeah def looked like it, prob touched the bat just after.

 

[_Ed_]

This is not good.

Not good.

 

[Spikey]

unless the on field ump told the 3rd ump that he didn't have any question over an inside edge and it was about height/line I don't like this

 

[Athlai]

Bat was behind the leg though, so I reckon it touched the bat after the pad.

 

[Spark]

Hmm, interesting. So he saw it alright.

 

[Zinzan]

Benefit of the doubt doesn't apply anymore

 

[Spark]

There's no way it was bat on pad though.
