And now Clark now too. That was a bullshit decision by the third umpire.
Yeah, I was thinking not out by benefit of the doubt. One frame he was maybe on the line or just short and it was questionable if the bail was dislodged. Next frame when you could actually tell the bail was fully dislodged he was well in.
I know I am Irish and biased but that decision was huge and they got it wrong.

Does his bat have to be over the line or just touching it? I thought it has to be over, and it wasn't by the time the bails were off.

On the line is in.
It probably wouldn't have made any difference in the end but that was a poor decision. The batsman should have been given the benefit of the doubt.

On the line is out, some part of the bat or the batsmen must be over the line. However, I did think there was some doubt in that decision.

Ponting's and Clarke's run out were pivotal yesterday. It still would have been a big ask but once the Hussey Ponting partnership was gone it was essential for Clarke to fill that gap.

Well we won that easily. Deano could be Aus vs NZ what you think?
I am still too gutted from the Ashes to get too excited about the one day games even in this tournament. Goood to see Ponting still going strong and my fellow Tasmanian Paine is going well

I think it could definitely be.
Shane Bond is our key. If he knocks your top order off, as he's done to Australia so often in the past, we're a chance. He seems to find this extra gear when he plays against the Aussies.
I just worry about our top order.
But can't wait. The Aussies will really want to win this to extract something out of their time away, including the Ashes loss, and we'll be desperate to beat our old foe and get some long awaited silverware. Should be a cracker.

That's a head butt....right?
I just can't believe the double standards of the ICC. Suliemann Benn gets two games for physical contact, which to me seemed a lot less than what Mitchell Johnson did on Wednesday night.
And Johnson (who might I remind, was also involved in that original incident) gets only 60% of his match fee and no ban, just because he puts in an early guilty plea?
It stinks to me....if Benn had've done the same, or if it had've been a Bangladesh player or some other insignificant nation, I bet the outcome would have been different.

Benn probably would have got the same penalty if he had of pleaded guilty and didn't have a piss poor prior record, if memory served me correctly the prior record was the main reason for the punishment, and Johnson was hardly involved in the Benn-Haddin incident he just happen to be standing in the middle.
Hey Deano, whats the go with Ingram just a refusal to use any footwork what so ever, he cracks me up ever time I watch him bat
