Now you've just entering the world of paranoid fantasy. Second innings you have a case for Hughes but first innings are you telling me he didn't hit it? Ponting was out lbw or caught. The final decision was correct whatever the process.

to me its simple. If you get your fingers underneath a ball going at that pace, they will hurt like hell being crushsed between the ground and the ball.
I am a Pakistani and I just want a good day of Test cricket, but I am sorry Strauss would know if his fingers were between the ball and the ground and he claimed a wrong catch.
Billy and Rudi really have to be asked why are they not refer. Poor stuff all the way round to be honest.

Forget hawkeye, but did you honestly think it was plumb live? I always feel people have there minds changed when it is put on hawkeye. Yes it was LBW but live it was swinging to the legside and Ponting was backing away so it's hard to say it was plumb.

how the hell was it plumb, hawkeye predicted that it was hitting leg stump and looked like it might be sliding down leg.

Yes and the fact that anyone could see with their own eyes it was going on to hit leg.

And you seem to think Sky are fiddling with the replays to make it look in England's favour.
Oh England can't be successful without being accused of cheating can they.

Yeh I was, edited as soon as I saw it.
That's your vision of events, blatantly biased, just as mine may well be. I would be interested to see what people who have absolutely no interest in this series whatsoever have to say. Not that we'll see many of those...
It was out Howsie.

It's a tricky one; Rudi obviously turned down the LBW as he asked if the catch carried, and as he thought he edged it, he couldn't have been given out LBW, but say if Rudi didn't think there was an edge, is there a chance he could have thought it was going down legside? Hilfenhaus has missed out on a heap of LBW decisions so far, so I suppose there's some equality there.
Or maybe I'm talking fluent ████.

Someone else that thinks Hawkeye isn't right. I need a replay of Pontings first innings dismisal - dead set it might of clipped leg stump but Hawkeye reckons it was smashing into leg and almost middle. You could see legstump when it hit Ponting and it was swinging away - not to mention he was backing away.

I would've given it as an umpire. Looked, hawkeye or no hawkeye, as if it was knocking out leg stump. If I got one of those given not out in one of my club matches I would be fuming for the rest of the game (It's happened a fair few times lol)
