Oof what an ending. I'm sure I heard something though.

There's no doubt in mind. Even watching it live, the noise was clear. Just needed the review to see if it was bat on anything other than the ball, and quite clearly the bat didn't hit anything else.
 
I've never gotten into Cricket. But it almost sounds exciting the way you lot are going on about it.
 
very dramatic way to end a great test match. I was more devastated when Agar got out, it helps to soften the blow of losing when the last wicket was so contentious. It was a lose-lose situation for the umpires. I would have given it not out but feel Australia might have struggled to win the test match the way they were batting.
 
I think I'd have given it out if I was reviewing it, the noise had to have been from the ball, seeing it again. Hotspot inconclusive but nothing else would have made that sound.
 
I think the umpire not giving it out initially and there not being conclusive evidence that it was out it should have been given not out. The reaction from the players wasn't convincing either, a coincidental sound is poor evidence to decide a test match imo.
 
Hang on cricket fans, I thought you had Hawk Eye or some other newfangled technology? Not just...sound.
 
England needed to win that. The Aussies can take heart from their performance in defeat but losing to another last wicket partnership would have been incredibly disheartening for England.

Sound, hotspot, Hawkeye, and snicko.

But snicko takes too long to currently be used as part of the review system, and Hawkeye doesn't play any part in edges off the bat. That's used for LBW appeals.

I agree but would also say the standard was set by the Trott lbw review. That wasn't a clear mistake but was overturned. Not giving that last decision would have been completely inconsistent.
