***Official*** England in New Zealand series 2013

[Howe_zat]

not out

 

[BeeGee]

imo McCullum earned the right to be that aggressive when he performed the heroic service of running out slug Williamson

Williamson's a snail, not a slug.

Ryder is a slug.

 

[thierry henry]

out imo

 

[thierry henry]

Nah inside edge imo

 

[thierry henry]

hmmmmmm

 

[Howe_zat]

Camera from point showed the bat was just in front of pad, suggesting bat first, so I'd have given that not out. Can't really complain either way though.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

No evidence to overturn the decision so....

 

[straw man]

Can't complain with it being given out

 

[Dick Rockett]

Oh god this is boring. If it's not that clear cut, then give the batsman the benefit of the doubt.

 

[thierry henry]

Thought that last angle showed the deflection was from bat-----> pad. Really couldn't see how it was pad-----> bat.

 

[BeeGee]

Aren't they supposed to check Hawkeye?

 

[Hurricane]

All up to Ellis.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

When exactly is the right time to lose a wicket?

 

[thierry henry]

England feeding BMac soft long-hops for some reason

 

[straw man]

Not enough evidence to overturn means go with onfield umpire's decision is exactly what I'd like to see consistently from third umpire. I believe some third umpires around the world have had problems following this recently.

 

[Howe_zat]

All up to Ellis.

Big McCullum's seeing it rather well now, showing why 8 an over isn't really an issue at this stage. Need to get him out sharpish.

 

[thierry henry]

As the ball is spherical, doesn't only 1 infinitely small part of it initially touch the pad, making a nonsense of all this "half the ball inside the line" palaver? I'm not good at maths or physics or whatever btw.

 

[thierry henry]

When exactly is the right time to lose a wicket?

When Trott gets out and is replaced by a string of "hitters" who don't score any runs

 

[Zinzan]

NZ effectively 7 down, England with their noses in front now.

 

[Hurricane]

Doull is saying that because a fraction of the ball hit in the line (not even half the ball) then you can be out.

Is that really the rule? When I umpire in club games unless it is clearly in line I give the batsman the benefit.
