Really? I thought it was clearly enough to uphold the onfield call. Ball was very close to the edge, and there was a spike.

Being between the frames is not the same as being totally off camera.
Disagree, seemed to be gaps... is what it is, Vihari will be disappointed but theme the breaks... at best ambiguous I'm pretty certain he didn't hit it

This - although it surprises me the framerate being used is so poor.

There were gaps frame by frame, but it went over the edge between frames and the spike happened there.

Like I said, definitely enough to uphold the call. Might be hard done by if it was overturned from a not out decision based on that. That said they seem to overturn based on the barest murmur these days, so that one was crystal clear compared to some others.

I'm fairly certain Vihari believes he didn't hit it, at least.

Seriously, it looks like Pujara could bat for eleven months on this deck.

This is MCG-esque at the moment. What a f**king road.

Listening to ABC Grandstand, Ed Cowan lamenting the lack of red ball cricket being played in junior national championships... And they read out a stat about Pujara, when aged 12, scored a 300+ not out from 500-odd balls in a junior Indian tournament....
Imagine being a 12 year old and fielding for 5 days.......

Wow. You can see why Paine and Uzi were confident. Huge noise in the stump mic, but obviously not the edge.

It was definately out. Just can't take trick.

I don't know what the noise was, but that one I don't think Pant nicked it. There was a little daylight between bat and ball, and no deflection. Nothing seemingly on hotspot for the few frames before it became useless.

If they show it again - which they probably won't, but take note of the rotation of the seam as it approaches the bat and as it leaves the bat. Big change.

Warnie in the box for 2.764 seconds before he starts blaming the bowlers again.
