That is dead plumb

I thought so. Height? Sliding down?

looks OK

It was definitely reviewable though.

Definitely - when you're Virat Kohli.

Shane Watson, not so much....

What a player Jamieson is. Still so early in his career as well.

Could be a NZ World GOAT if he can stay fit. Pant is ripe for the picking, likes to play his shots

FIFY.

Some moron on a NZ cricket page was calling for Henry to be selected ahead of KJ because of more “experience” in English conditions. Fucks sake.

Madness right? One or two ferners were suggesting he be included too. All on the basis of one game where he didn't chuck pies

Over on Planet Rugby there were some calling for KJ to be dropped also. Because his batting was untested or something.

He could bat like Chris Martin and he'd be one of the first picked for me.

He has a test 50 IIRC

He’s already scored more test runs than Chris Martin too.

But yeah, with his bowling the way it is his batting is frankly irrelevant

Love the way Pant goes about it. Nothing seems to faze him. It’s high risk high reward stuff but entertaining.

[booboo]

Close

[canefan]

Feels like it might slide down leg or not take enough of the stump. Not out call will count against us

[booboo]

Replay not so out as I thought

[Damo]

Pitched outside right?

[ACT Crusader]

Yep. Ever so close

[booboo]

That's what I initially thought.

Nasser: Good decision ...

... would have have been just as good if he'd given it.

[Damo]

Good review.

KJ getting some movement this morning. I reckon he should stay over the wicket if he can hoop it back like that.

[canefan]

I hate that rule. If he'd given it it would have been out on review

[Gunner]

I hate the LBW review rules.

Either it’s hitting or it’s not, and that one had the ball crashing into leg stump.

[No Quarter]

So close. Can understand why the ump thought it was going down leg though, and I 100% support the"umpires call" part of DRS. Bad luck.

The LB rules are shite. They say technology isn’t in the spirit of the game but I bet WG Grace would have reviewed a few if the option was available in his day.

Once you review it, shouldn't matter what the umpires decision was. More than half of the ball was hitting

I would’ve been dirty as if Rosco or Kane was given on that one because to the naked eye it it looked to be going down leg given where Pant’s foot was planted.

[canefan]

We are all over them. Critical juncture in the game right now

[No Quarter]

The ball tracking is not 100% accurate which is why the have umpires call. The whole system was designed to remove the howlers which it does.
