I find Santner annoying. Not talking about his ability but his mannerisms. That lanky walk while looking down, the way he doesn't jump when he bowls, and now those silly glasses he wears while batting.

7 off 8 balls is an amazing effort when your supposed to be scoring 10+ runs each over,.

I’m watching this on replay and have just seen the fucking shambles of a decision on the Mitchell dismissal.
I’m in disbelief how an umpire can misinterpret the technology so bloody badly.
It’s a bloody farce.What is the point in having hotspot if you’re not going to take any notice of it?
That useless prick they call an umpire must be the only one on the planet that thought that was out.

I dunno - I don't think it was all that clear that the ball hit the bat was it? That very light mark could just as easily have been from contact with the pad. The way the ball looked to deviate it certainly seemed so on the front on first viewing, but maybe that was just a trick of the camera? There was not even a glimmer on snicko.

I’m obviously still behind, but catching up.
That innings was bloody awful by the Caps, but India’s bowling, how good?
Can anyone tell me why bloody Santner get to bat ahead of Kuggelijn and even Southee with only 5 overs to go?
He looks so bloody awkward and looks like he’s struggling just to pick up the singles.We haven’t got anywhere near enough runs. India will chase this down in a canter.

Pressure from Gilette?

I don't understand why Santner comes in ahead of Scott K. I really don't.
Less rapey?
I'm going to hell for laughing as much as I did at this post.

I'm having a retrospective whinge about the Daryl Mitchell LBW decision.
I turned tele on milliseconds after he was given out on field, and he had said to Kane that he hit and asked if he should refer.
Cool.
Very first replay it was sooooo obvious he hit it I thought "oh good, not out".
Then I hear hear dufus in the box saying " no bat".
Say the fuck what? You fucking idiot.
Then the rock and roll in very slomo was indecisive, but if they replayed the full replay he'd have seen the nick.
Second, hot spot confirmed on both the bat and the ball.
I will admit that there may have been a hotspot on the bat prior to the ball passing, possibly from brushing the pad . However hotspot was pretty definitive on both bat and ball from both sides.
Sure snicko showed nothing. But the case for snicko being any sort of evidence is negated by Nigel "it could have come from anywhere, but I'm a complete moron" Llllllong.
Upshot is the DRS failed miserably due to human error. Mitchell and NZ was fucked over by incompetence.
Which brings me to my point.
It was pretty obvious everybody, and I mean EVERYBODY, on the field knew Mitchell was not out.
And it certainly appeared that Sharma said as much to Mitchell who then asked Sharma to speak to the umpires, which he started to do. At which point Dhoni intervened and seemed to persuade him not to.
At this point I have lost any potential respect for Sharma who if he had any, ANY, integrity whatsoever he'd have called Mitchell back because he knew he was not out, but obviously has no mana or authority given he could be so overidden by his granddad MS.
And as for Dhoni? Despite his demi-god status in India is obviously an unethical underhanded selfish twunt. Hope you make the final of the world cup and get given out to a shocker with 2 runs left on the last ball with no reviews left.

PS. Well played India. We were 20 runs short.
