Indeed he does, and with the foreshortening effect, I'd say Doctrove's view is better than the replay anyway. It was a huge call to make if he didn't see it properly, would've been easy to just send it upstairs.

I think Andre Botha, who was "caught" at bat-pad off Mohammad Sami in that Ireland-Pakistan ODI, would disagree with you.

It's a shame there isn't footage of decisions against Gower and Lamb on the 82/83 Ashes Tour - those would blow everything else out of the water.

Clark's was practically on a par with that tho.

So if you were to grade the umps that stood in this series, how would you rate them?

Pretty universally awful. Billy was possibly the worst of the bunch tho; even effed up counting the balls in an over a couple of times.
