You can clearly see that David didn't hit the ball from the replay. There was a noise but not from bat hitting the ball.

Can Ultra edge not pick up other sounds other than bat on ball?? If that is the case then you MUST trust your eyes!

I should think so VOR. Stevie Wonder wouldn't have given that out. It shows you that we trust technology more than common sense.

Of course it’s ridiculous like all the others we’ve seen in recent times.
A West Indian would not get away with the dissent. Dat is my only point.

Butler's incorrect decisions should have been overridden by the match referee!

Very very poor indeed , that spike had to be from something else other than bat hitting ball because there was a clear big gap between bat and ball , man those TV umpires making more mistakes than anything else they need to start giving umpires fine and suspension to .

Poor umpiring is simply reflection of entire cricket system of Caribbean.....From batting, bowling, fielding, umpiring, coaching..... everything needs improvement... upgrade to international level..... very few international level umpires in Caribbean...

I guess you missed the first test of the OZ series? It is nohe It just local UMPS!

I believe that these UMPS are being directed to use ultra edge over optical evidence.

Two wrong doesn't make a single right...
South African umpire was atrocious....
But that not give leeway to Butler....
Both condemned... rightfully...

Shot!!! And talk done.

Sammy is supremo leader- isn’t he head of the umpire’s union as well?


Fun and joke aside,

The CWI folks have plans to conquer the Americas but no plans to improve local pitches and umpiring standards.
Typical
