1st Test: Australia v South Africa at Perth on Nov 3-7, 2016

Gutsy call. Very rarely a batsman is out that far down the wicket.

 

[_snafu_]

lol. How was that given?

 

[El Diablo]

those decisions are a joke

had he given him not out the bowler needs half the ball or whatever to get it over turned

 

[God-King Dean]

This is allllllllll on Warner

LOL - plumb LOL

 

[God-King Dean]

People complaining about the umpire making the correct decision lol

 

[hineyrulz]

Lol he was well past the bat pad, I've never seen a batsman given out that fair down the crease.

 

[JJ]

You're not immune just because you gallop down the track - ballsy umpiring, now if only they could accurately call no-balls

 

[JJ]

The Don to restore order?

i thought that had to be factored in with DRS

Voges is here to save the day with an average of 50 million.

That's a poor decision.... but here's the wickets in bunches that we tend to give away

 

[Hutty1986]

I remember when it was fun watching the aussie batting line up. Now its just depressing watching these mongs collapse every game.

 

[El Diablo]

Bahahahaha

Why is it poor? It's unconventional, but Smith missed a straight one, and the umpire believed he was out...

 

[Pete Cash]

I don't think those should be given even if it is out.

Now bear with me because the argument that if it's out it is out is a very convincing one

But technology will eventually get to the point where umpires are replaced by an automated process. the drs has shown loads of borderline calls that are just brushing the stumps. it would be a huge change to the game if a computer just goes beep book that's brushing the stumps you're out.

I am not going to criticise the decision but it's a dangerous road to go down. fast left arm bowlers just trying to pitch the ball a mm on leg to game an lbw type of thing.
