What bullshit. Smith did the EXACT SAME THING the last test and they give that fat merkin a second life.

Not a single bit of evidence showed he hit that, yet he's still given
agreed, load of crap the rulings are too inconsistent.

That's bullocks decision, no conclusive evidence that he hit it and its advantage to the batsmen unless there is evidence of any kind. Inconsistent decision considering pop'n'fresh got off on the same sort of appeal/reserve decision last test.

Steyn revelling here. He was always going to be dangerous on this pitch.

All the evidence pointed to Warner being out.

Surely Clarke can't keep saving us!

One of these two must stick around or the match could be in serious trouble by stumps.

Only people defending Warner are people who don't understand the review system.

Firstly, he knew he hit it or he would have called for the review without hesitation. So that alone is unsportsmanlike.

Secondly, during the review because the umpire gave it out there must be CONCLUSIVE proof of a mistake. The slowmo showed no obvious gap between bat and ball. Hotspot was inconsclusive because of the suns glare right where the ball went past the bat.

There was no proof the umpire made a mistake. So it didn't get overturned.

Warner should be ashamed of himself, he knew he hit it.
