I'm sure he'd do well given the chance.
By the letter of the law, i would say Krezja was OUT.......... BUT BUT BUT BUT............
It's certainly NOT in the spirit of the game BUT the letter of the law doesn't allow for sentiment.
This run out circumstance is one of the few negatives with the technology available.
Think there was a similar one the other day, just that the bat bounced up just after the bails were removed ?
JJ, I've just come back to this topic and was mentioning to a mate about the referral to the third umpire system as against the rules of cricket. When a batsman is in by 6ft, 3ft, then the batsman MUST be given the benefit of the doubt, end of story. Essentially the referring umpire is looking for clarification on whether a batsman's bat was grounded over the line, which I would've thought went against giving the batsman the benefit of the doubt.
The system is flawed and should go back to what it was and give the power back to the umpires whether they make the right or wrong call, who cares as it does even out in the end. The umpires are second guessing themselves and are scrutinized beyond belief by the media and public for incorrect decisions. It has to change.

In this particular instance you are 99.27% right
A dreadfool decision
But overall the 3rd ump for run outs gets it right more often than an ump would, making it worthwhile

Yeh, you're right Mal. The umpires shouldn't even be out there. Everything should get referred and the third umpire would get 100% right.
Let's refer all decisions in every sport...let's do it in AFL, tiddlywinks, lawn bowls and German national indoor whittling championships.
Let's not worry about the integrity of the game, let's not worry about recruiting people who can actually umpire the game, let's just admit they should be there for the easy stuff, and refer every decision, even for fruitless appealing "just in case it might be out" (which is what you are advocating). Let's just stop the flow of the game and bugger everything up about the great game we love.
Rant over.

LAST SEASON
12 months ago it was gunna be his time as the next allrounder
SYMONDS retired
WATSON forever injured
AU was trying out NORTH as the allrounder of sorts
NOW
Moses has lost ground
WATSON is dominating
CUTTING has now become the cult in the making
Ryan HARRIS has come from nowhere
Moses still has the Rolling Stone lyric "' time is on my side""
He has natural batting talent, his bowling is steady
But he is falling behing in the pecking order
He now is way behind HARRIS/WATSON/CUTTING in limited over games
His best chance is in Tests if he can blossom
I can only allow for the fact that he has been ordained by REB.....

He's probably been told by the Australian selectors to tame his shot selection down early in his innings. He needs to work out whether he wants to play test cricket for Australia or present himself in any form, if I was him I'd concentrate on the longer version game for the time being. Having Warner down the order is plain stupidity.

Why? Warner is 5hit.
