Can anyone please expalin to me why the LBW was not given after review in the Aus game ? Why was it an On-Field call when the ball clearly was gonna hit the stumps (as per hawk-eye).

That's one of the problems with the review system. Had the umpire given it out and Aus reviewed it, it would have been out. The review has to 100% out, ie the entire ball has to be hitting the stumps, bit silly IMO. That particular review show about 70% of the ball hitting, that's enough right? Now it was a good review, but still counts againt the bowling side...

Are you sure? Whats the point of having hawk-eye then ?

 

[SinghDude]

Best new ball combo + best ODI batsmen had a day off and Bangladesh just never turned up .

 

[sand_man]

This will be the ground where we will play Pakistan in the quarters should OZ win today....

SA team will require special police escort when they come out of the statdium. I'm sure the Bangladesh captain's house will be stoned again.
