Finch and Short went off at the umpires about this for some reason, the bat was clearly in the air on replay. I'm thinking that Darcy Short might not be too bright.

I've only seen the vids online but I'd say exactly the opposite tbh. Bat clearly on the ground, you can see it change angles in his hand as it pushes against the turf. The shot from stump cam too, clearly down.

Absolute howler of a decision IMO. Lucky it only happened in a T20 where it doesn't matter a damn. Maybe if merkins stopped making dull flat roads the same color as the fking bats it wouldn't be an issue

Yeah was a poor decision, initially thought it was out. But your 100% right Baz, if these howlers are made , make it in t20 ,hehe

We still should have run down the total though

Hopefully someone steps up in the dead rubber and scores a blistering ton

Was watching and half asleep, one commentator questioned the decsionl, one was adamant the bat was in the air

Who ever taught the Paki's to field deserves a pay rise. From the edited highlights video, they actually looked real good in the field.
Nathan Coulter Nile should be batting at 4 in this team.
And 1, and 2 and 3 and 5. That should just about cover it.

Did I hear right that Alex Carey is the t20 vice captain? Lol. He’s using that thing in his hand like a hopeful wand. I think he is seriously massively overrated based on next to no consistent performances at domestic level.

He would have to be banned for dissent wouldn’t he? His bat was absolutely in the air. He strikes me as a bit of a dead head.

Ben McDermott, three games for Australia, run out three times?

You'd almost stamp the blokes papers for something that heinous, deadset
