You cannot see that was NOT OUT! Ultra edge could detect all kinds of sounds but you can clearly see bat did not touch ball!

Yes Potgetter has been useless so far. Aron Jones was one of the stars of the finals why is he not playing. Auguste is such a classical player, but wasted down the order but still showed some class.

SLK had a horrible night in the field esp Tim David as we should have dismissed them for less.

Has anyone been listening to Nikhail tonight. He was humble enough to apologize to umpire Butler over the Tim David dismissal after seeking clarity from the match referee and the umpire himself.

Well done Nikhail. Umpire Butler did get it right! I too learnt something concerning the snicko technology employed!

As life would have it, a similar thing happened in the Men's Hundred today. The 3rd umpire made the same decision Deighton did. Decision accepted. Game moved on. The commentators in the pod knew how snicko worked.

Not an apology after seeing and hearing the reason why the decision was made.

What I couldn't understand is why the frame with the actual spike as bat hits ball is not available.
Nikhil says umpires are trained to identify first spike as a "future" spike and when the bat passes the bat there may be no visible spike

Nikhil is biased and exposed his knickers.

Wore blue and had a SLK flag in his pocket during interviews. Ganga called him out on it and Nikhil tried to play it off that it was a mistake.

Then he had his hissy fit about the David dismissal.

Curious to know what the “official explanation” was to cause him to moonwalk his criticism of the ump.

That explanation if anything caused more suspicion. Future spike??? So the technology is futuristic?? Where is the frame with the night/day gap between bat and ball????

Did your realise that Danny was cut off by producers when he said he had a cheeky comment? They quickly put up the points table and he went to that and never got back to the comment. Perhaps he was told not to go there.

He simply against anything Trini. He’s not alone by a long shot either.

In reply to imusic Yes he is not alone. A lot of anybody but TKR support around here primarily due to the arrogant behaviour of Pouty, Bravo and the crew.

Arrogant behaviour eh?

I suggest, now that’s the FACTS have come out, that you issue an immediate apology to Umpire Butler……a fellow small islander.

But the fact that you go above and beyond to defend “your peeps” yet STILL couldn’t override the hate you have for everything Trini says a lot about you.

Start a thread apologizing to Umpire Butler. You reacted in the heat of the moment and gave in fully to your biases. It’s often hard to admit when you’re wrong.

Do it on this one. It’s the right thing to do. Despite everything, I think you have it in you to man up.
