There was a Rohit lbw a year back where he was even further down than Smith here and he was given out. I like that they've started giving them. Makes no sense they weren't giving them out before.

Whats the big deal about him giving it out in the first place, both teams had reviews so whatever decision he gave both sides had the opportunity to question it. Smith did and the umpire was proved correct.

Tbf, KW went down a few pegs more than the other 2 by being totally and utterly destroyed by Ashwin 4 out of 4 times. If Root has a cracking series vs. Ashwin, that pushes him clearly ahead of KW for mine.

Regarding Smith, he still scored a 100 in that SL series. This is one dismissal.

Really? Root scored less than Kane did in Bangers, both in difficult conditions but you'd say India were the better attack.

Now our position has gone from fantastic to not great, and we've no reviews. Smith's review was understandable, that was just in hope.

Something something something in 1998 if you got hit on the knee roll it was going over and if you were around the wicket you couldn't get an LBW. So unfair that umpires are giving correct decisions, not abiding by ye-olde rules of thumb that were actually wrong.


Zinzan said:
That just isn't true in the last 2-3 years. DRS has meant that umpires have been much more willing to give LBW when batters are down the track. I've seen a few of those in the last few years, including a couple in the India NZ series given without DRS when NZ batsmen were well down the wicket.

Your statement is correct if we're talking about pre DRS days.

Yeah, I'm referring to pre-DRS more than recent years.

Yeah, it's weird some are carrying on as if this is the first time umps are giving those.
