We're relying on the umpires to make the best decision they can using their expertise, and as a part of that they can the technology available to assist them as they see fit. It was out... they've given it out. No problems then.

But the problem is again the inconsistencies.

Basically a umpire standing in the middle much closer to the action has given a decision based on his instinct which the umpire above has overruled based on his.

The rule states there has to be conclusive evidence to overturn and in this case there wasn't tbh specially with the sound being very feint. And the Stump mics have a habit of picking up such sounds in the past too as i said.
Would have been fine if he would have been given out, but not overturned with the evidence. But needs to be conclusive evidence to overturn when given not out.

Or else we are entering the territory of one flawed technology vs another and then then the umpires setting up their own standards and doing whatever they like with the available evidence as they can't be wrong either way which is dangerous.

Patel has played well tbf after looking extremely poor at the start. Even though he still doesn't look fully in control.

If Parthiv gets a ton here, then England should forfeit the rest of the series in embarrassment!

Oh for a 93+mph bowler who can break stumps in the middle overs!

Be careful with that faith.

So is this going to be a series of India seeing how far past 300 they can get and then us blindly attempting to chase it. Seems so.

Sigh. It's one of those ODIs. Should be 280 odd from here.

Edit: let-off for Parthiv.

Trott serving up some nice 70mph outside off half-volleys for India. Oh and some leg side filth, how generous.

Why? Shouldn't they just try to do the best job they can?

Because in situations like these not having clear guidelines and parameters means that the third umpire could basically be doing a coin toss to determine whether it was out or not.
He can't really be conclusively wrong in either case,whatever he decides and he knows it advance.

With Dernbach it's a bit of a short-sighted selection anyway. After this series the new rules come in and you have two new balls being used, one from each end. So you are going to really need bowlers who can use a new ball. The only role for Dernbach is if the pitch is so incredibly flat that 350-400 becomes a par score. Given the World Cup is in Australia and New Zealand just tips things further in favour of proper bowlers like Finn, Tremlett etc.

Nice platform for the lower middle order, hope they doesnt screw this up as they have done all this year whenever we have batted first in ODI's
