what ever happened to bat and pad close together, there is way too much freeing of the front leg and leaving a gap for the ball to be chopped on

f**k T/20 cricket and our so called batting coach, he should be fixing this obvious weakness up
I've been saying it for a few years now, T20 will destroy cricket.

We'd be just as well off opening with Ogilvy and Norman with Scott, Baddely and Newton coming in the middle order.

They play practically the same game nowadays, and the footwork is about the same.

T20 forces bastmen to stop using their feet, to play at every ball which increases the chance of them getting out massively.

It also forces bowlers to bang it in short of a length more often than not, preventing them from mounting any pressure or taking wickets regularly on their own merit (wickets are taken when the batsmen throws his wicket away)

I wish that anyone in a test team, worldwide, was exempt from playing T20, otherwise test cricket will be killed off.

wasn't incorrect

even a DRS would have reverted back to the original not out decision as only part of the ball hit the stumps

umpire's call

More then half the ball was hitting the stumps, was chrashing into top of middle and leg from what I saw. Wasn't too focused on it though so might be wrong.

But it wasn't really about the DRS, it was out and the umpire gave it not out so therefore incorrect decision. DRS doesn't come into it.

More than happy too. Enough of the disgusting beastiality remarks aimed at Kiwis as well?
