Pakistan are just gonna have to wear it tbh. Not exactly hard or inaccurate drawing a straight line, which is what you do when height isn't a factor.

If Pakistan somehow get through and win this World Cup, what message will it send to young kids about working on their fielding? "Well, it doesn't matter if you can catch or not - you can still pick up some silverware".

Misbah spilled Tendulkar! A long hop from Afridi, spanked from Sachin but should have been taken.

Never really thought about it before, but find it a bit weird that when a ball is 'hitting' by less than half the ball width and the umpire has ruled not out the original decision is retained, but if it's missing by the same margin and is given out the decision is reversed. I guess there's a 'benefit of the doubt to the batsman' rationale but I wonder if it's explicated in the UDRS guidelines.

Benefit of the doubt is the umpire's.

if it is yellow it means on filed call and what ever was the call it stands

I know, but by that rationale if it's 'missing' by the same accepted margin of uncertainty (half a ball width) then it should also be an on-field call.
