Mark Craig truly has a gorgeous bowling action. In fact our entire bowling attack are aesthetically pleasing. Great to watch.

Genuinely don't understand the umpire's call on hitting in line. It's either hit him in line or it hasn't! The hitting the stumps thing I get, there's a margin of error to consider. But if the law says any part of the ball hits in line, then that should be out. If the law says all the ball has to hit in line, it's not out. If the law says half the ball has to hit in line, then again it's either out or not. Does my head in....

yep.. The umpire's call business should only apply to the predictive part of the review.

I think umpires call is more to keep the status quo of batsman get the benefit of doubt, rather than margin of error issues.

Volty, David Shepherd's legs aren't up in the air. They buried him horizontally a few years ago.
