Liked Sumo's comment that Shan has competition for the craziest review of the day.
That comment is also on Cricinfo...
I guess he thought it might have been bump ball.
Or perhaps he hit the ground and didn't think he got an edge. In that case the ball going to first slip should have been a clue.

He hit the ground simultaneously.
Do we not use hot spot any more?

Seems not. Is it not mandatory and Spark don't have rights or something?

Oz use both snicko and hotspot, but from memory snicko is seen as the gold standard of the two
They certainly give batsmen out with Snicko on the faintest of noises. I don't like it, but at least it's consistent

Interesting to hear and read comment that Pakistan would have been happy to get close to 300. Valid, yeah except they were bowled out on Day 1. That means the test is well advanced and NZ (who do have a very strong batting lineup) get to bat on potentially the best 2 days for batting. If you'd offered me having Pakistan all out on day 1 for just under 300 I'd take it like a shot, particularly as we need to win every test now to have a chance of qualifying for the WTC final now that the ICC have effectively changed the rules for qualification where the longer test series allow for individual test results to have far less impact on the qualification criterion.
And yet again we get screwed on the FTP with us only scheduled to play 4 tests in 2021.

@nzzp I’ve just heard the commentators talking about him haven’t made some changes. He Seems to be far less dangerous and go for heaps more boundary’s now
His action as far more front on/square on than it used to be. He used to be much more side on. It has definitely changed.
It might be to prevent injury.
