He's unlucky, given it looked like it was going down leg. And the tracker had it just clipping.
But as someone said to me once, nobody feels sorry for you if you get bowled and the ball 'just clips' the stumps.
while i have a certain level of understanding of that take, i think there is a slight difference, and that is what causes the angst
If you get bowled, you're out. Shit shot, piss off, you're out
With the "just clipping" and umpires call bullshit, you get a situation where your outcome is now dependent on who reviews. If that's given not out, and the Aussies review, it stays not out. Same delivery, two different outcomes. It should be either out, or not out
(i have said in the past, i think DRS for LBW should be gone unless it's to see if you hit it)

@mariner4life In both Kane's and Tom's incidents, we've lost our wicket but retained our review.

and while i am typing, another goes.
This is a fucking embarrassment. Australia got over 200 for only 1 when they were batting properly, on the same goddam deck.

I'll say it again.
When do some questions start getting asked about Peter Fulton as a batting coach?
this "performance" should see a review of the entire coaching panel.

It seems bizarre.
Small wins, that are however burned by Jeet and Philips - neither of whom apparently could tell they'd nicked out.

On the plus side - unless Fults is an active saboteur, Craig McMillan's market value must be absolutely soaring!

Gary Stead. Craig MacMillan. Peter Fulton. Our coaching staff are just a rogue's gallery of failed test players. Andre Adams as well?

Craig McMillan did a pretty good job as the batting coach (or had better luck with his opposition). Playing records are irrelevant to coaching ability. However, the players on field performance does raise questions about the coaching.

@mariner4life Macca was our batting coach for five years under Hesson. The man was a coaching genius!
And he had a test batting average of 38.5. Worthy!

Agree with most of that.
"Umpires call" is bullshit. They get one look at full speed. LBW is where DRS should be used, but take the original decision out of it, use the half ball measurement to eliminate ball tracking minor discrepancies and the decision is the 3rd umpire's who has all of the benefits of slow mo and tech.
When you get a shithead like Erasmus giving the benefit to the bowler (mostly Aussies this time around) it goes wrong.
None of that would have changed any results, given that we have been shit, but it does show flaws in the system. Thanks Marais.
I can see why he would want to top up his pay though:
Marais Erasmus South Africa $3000 $1000 $2200 $35000 08That's for tests, T20, ODI, annual and his world ranking.
Fuck that for a living.
