I watched the whole thing. He didn't get hawkeye, he got where the ball pitched, and where it hit him, then the camera rotated around and showed the height etc. Seemed well thought out, just took way too long.

Ah well, my general point still stands. Even without Hawkeye, the decision took far too long. And, to be fair, JimmyGS, they did actually show the Hawkeye, and the measurement ruler (from the side-on shot) during the coverage. Obviously, Koertzen didn't get that feed though.

What a joke. It's light enough for play to continue, What a waste of a session.

I think he did, because they didn't do the full Hawkeye with the projection of where the ball would have gone until after the decision had been made. I guess that's the bit they don't want the umpire to see.
Correct, correct, correct and correct. Wasn't arguing any of those points.

Yeah, I don't really understand the criticism of it. Do feel sorry for Flynn though.

No, we're not. Try reading the thread rather than hunting around for perceived bias.

I guess that is the problem then. If you are going to do it, you can't rush it or otherwise it would be a waste of time (excuse the pun) doing it,

Why don't you go and abuse some newbies, Mr Tough ****? I bet that makes you feel so much better about yourself.

Great day, thanks. Last day of a 12-day working stint and sitting at home watching the races. Life couldn't be better.

A couple of things:
New Zealanders sure have mastered the art of choking before a maiden Test century.
Flynn, Oram, McCullum, Vettori, Ryder, and How all falling in the 90s in search of a maiden ton, off the top of my head. Add Redmond falling in the 80s when well set at Adelaide. And thats just the current/recent squad.
Secondly, why even risk the possibility of bad light? Surely an 11am start is safer?

Nah. As the commentators said, at a similar time last year, they were playing golf until about 9.15pm last year. It was simply a case of excess cloud cover this evening.
It's delightful - I managed a few games of senior and high school cricket on it before it was revamped. The potential was always there, but they just had to make a bit more room.

Yeah, apparently it's only used up to the POI, to assess whether it pitched in line, hit in line etc, not "guessing" (for want of a better term) about whether it would have gone on to hit.
