I'm not down with Kitchen at 3. Journeyman who doesn't look up to international level.

I fear we may have bowled their openers into form with our 2nd stringers last game. I wish we would have just kept the foot on the throat instead of "resting" players from the rigours of bowling 4 fucking overs in a T20.

Can't help but agree. NZ cricket does have a bit of depth at the minute but not 'All Black' depth.

The no ball should stand if it is called, as it can impact the batsmens shot selection, but they should be able to undo the free hit if it was not actually a no ball.

That catch was such a shocking decision. The problem with the soft signal is that it is always given to the fielding team. So, in effect, the fielding team gets the benefit of the doubt for any controversial catch. If that was not enough evidence to overturn, there almost never will be. Umpires probably need to stop giving soft signals unless they actually get a good view of it.

I disagree. The umpires make the call, and it only gets overturned if the cameras show enough. Cameras really stuff with perspective, and foreshortneing, and make good catches look dodgy. I'd far rather live with an umpire making a call that is usually right, than rely on technology that can be misleading for catches.
