I'm not surprised at all.
The ball definitely hit the ground at some point IMO and I thought not out for sure, strange that the umpire called it out before going to the third umpire. Broad very unlucky.


Interesting... i never saw the ball hit the ground at any stage.
There's no way the ball didn't not hit the grass when it went underneath Uzzie's body as he completed his dive and roll.

Thats your guess.... imo the hand was under the ball at that time. Certainly a tough call ... and with the initial call being out there was no clear evidence to change the decision.

Fair enough, at least it finally broke the Cook/Broad partnership.

Similar happened in third test to a catch. Went to umpires call, which was not out.

The vision is inconclusive - I reckon he held it.

With the exception of Smith and perhaps Warner, this batting line-up will struggle in South Africa.
