El Diablo said:pitched on leg
If we go on the strike zone that they have on their replays, it shows that the majority of the ball was outside the strike zone, thus giving the umpire a valid excuse to give the batsman not out (although I don't really beleive that was his initial thinking he just made a f**k up, cos in normal motion I too was giving Lara the send off). I'm just stating that if the technicalities of the game are brought in to it, and that decision been referred to the 3rd umpire, I dont possibly see how it could be given out when the majority of the ball was pitched outside the line of the leg stump.
In hindsight, it was a great decision. Australia won the test match, Warnie got 6 in the second dig, and we were treated to one of the finest batting displays ever by one the few great geniuses of the game.
