:lol: Some great posting here

Of course no blame can be placed on Haddin, the umpire is supposed to be able to tell that the keeper knocked over the stumps rather than the ball when Haddin apparently didnt even see it :lol:

The umpire at square leg should've had the best view of it. It's easy to miss it from front on when the ball, bat, gloves and wickets are all coming together in a split second, but at square leg he should've seen the gloves were visibly in front of the stumps.

So he was bowled cleanly? Or not?

No, but the ball had bypassed him and would likely have hit the stumps irrespective of Haddin's gloves. The point the poster was making is that he deserved to get out given he played such a rubbish shot - don't try arguing semantics on an opinion.

Rubbish

Either he's out cleanly or he's not out

His shot selection doesn't affect the legitimacy of a dismissal

And the ball actually travelled OVER the bails and into Haddins palms whose fingertips dislodge the bails.

It hit the stumps, you could hear it. Unfortunately Haddin had already clipped the bails....shouldn't have been out but he's back in the sheds now so that's that sadly

Yep, its bad luck. Happens in cricket. But don't give me Timmah's rubbish about how he deserved to be out for playing a poor shot

Of course he didn't. Batsmen play more terrible shots than that and get away with it...

Like Ian Chappell said, irrespective if it hit the stumps or not. Its illegal to have your glove in front of the stumps

poor umpiring and poor keeping imo
