I'm confused...didn't the review say it was hitting..so why's he not out?
It was wrong, it clearly showed the ball missing.I'm confused...didn't the review say it was hitting..so why's he not out?
If your watching on Sky, they said the graphic was wrong. The original decision was not-out and as the ball was only clipping leg stump and not 'fully' hitting it, the decision stays as the on-field umpire called it - ie. not out.I'm confused...didn't the review say it was hitting..so why's he not out?
Isn't it because Hawkeye isn't 100% accurate, so they give benefit of the doubt to the umpire's original decisionI'm confused...didn't the review say it was hitting..so why's he not out?
The decision was so marginal that it falls within the statictical margin for error on hawkeye, and therefore the benefit of the doubt is given to the umpire's decision either way.I'm confused...didn't the review say it was hitting..so why's he not out?
Ah cheers lads. I've got it on stream with the sound muted, all I saw was the graphic saying it was hitting, and got rather confused as to why he wasn't given outsamabachan said:

Edged by Trott, just short of slip. Siddle's been impressive so far
Lucky two there from Trott.
Another edge, Trott looking nervous...
It was always going to do a bit early on and then flatten out - definitely a case of damage limitation and then filling their boots later if in a strong position.
I reckon that the first 140+ ball I've seen today.
Great shot by Trott. Warney already critical of the Australian tactics, what is his beef with Ponting?
Bowled him, Watson gets Trott
Here comes KP...
Sad to see Trott go, he's entertaining to watch..come on KP
86-2 at lunch, pretty even session, Pietersen making a notable attempt to be more positive against the left arm spin, Doherty throwing it back as if hes shane Warne!
Cook looks for the most part solid.

125-4 last time I looked.
156-4.
These two look set.
Fingers crossed.

Don't Australia have any better spinners?
The days of Warne and McGill are long gone.
Why were the two threads merged? Bit silly.. one thread for 5 matches.. and considering that the moderators thought it prudent to have an entire forum for the previous Ashes..
Caught the last 10-12 overs of this session. Johnson's bowling a lot of rubbish, as is Watson. Doherty's OK, too flat and too fast through the air, though. Occasionally erring in line. Cook's playing really well.

I see the predictions thread has been merged into this one as well. Pretty idiotic.
172-4 at tea, pretty even although id guess Australia will be slightly the happier side given the pitch isn't offering much, Cooks played very well just hope he can go on he has a habit of getting out in the 60's ive noticed and England really need a big score from him, Bell looks a man in form but again needs to go on and build this partnership up with Cook.
Crucial last season coming up, if England can at most lose 1 wicket and end the day somewhere around 270-4/5 then they'll be pretty happy especially after losing the skipper so early.
Not been very impressed with the ozzie attack, looks pretty pedestrian, not much pace Johnson looks his usual shite whenever ive seen him, Siddle looks the main threat for them, Doherty looks steady without looking overly threatening.

By far the worst Aussie attack i've seem in years.
England are batting the game away from the Aussies right now.
Australia bowling quite horribly..
Australia bowling quite horribly..
Cook gone! Siddle's third; caught (just) Watson.
Prior gone first ball!!!!! Ripped him! Siddle on a hat-trick.
That's Matt Prior, not Chris Read lol.
Got it!!!!
Wait... Broad's challenged it.
Wait... Broad's challenged it.
Forget the challenge - that's out! Hat-trick for Siddle!
fecking hell.
For those following at home, England have gone from looking quite comfortable at 4/197 to 7/197 in the past five minutes. A lot of responsibility resting on Bell now.
50 for Bell; been really impressive. Looks a completely different batsman to the one who was here four years ago.
Lol @ England, Australia picks a deadset average team, and they still manage to feck it up, Siddle gets a hattrick, I rest my case.
not sure England were that comfortable at 4/197...it was a good recovery by Bell and Cook from their 4/125.
Australia were never going to simply roll over.

Fair, but those two were looking quite good.
