Why was there no umpires call on where the ball pitched?!?!?

It was not clearly outside leg

Umpire's call is only for the predictive part of DRS as that is where the error rate is. For pitching, we know where it actually pitched (no prediction involved) so no umpire's call. However, the rule is, more than 50% of the ball should be pitching in line for it to count

Guys remember this and please post sensibly.
 
I personally was expecting more impact from Nauman considering the amount of experience he has and was in good form as well in domestic cricket. He hasnt bowled badly but, not causing much trouble for the batsmen. Yes there isnt much spin from middle but, could have maybe varied angles and pace a bit more.
 
Faf is really vulnerable right now. If Yasir doesn’t get him today it will be a huge opportunity missed.
 
Faf needs to reign that backlift in has he not heard Wasim talking about Martin Crowe.
 
Babar is a complete butter fingers. He is being highlighted more for his incompetence as a slip catcher due to now having to deliver as captain. Especially how he failed to stand up in the first innings with the bat!
 
i ask again...where is imran Butt ..so much he is the best slipper in the world......

I think he needs to aim just slightly more outside off. Attack the edge
 
This one was a tough one but, Babar needs to be in better position if he is to be in the 1st slip.

Our home umpires must have got away with murder in the pre-DRS era :))

Aleem Dar keeping the legacy of Shakoor Rana and Nazir Junior alive.

So did umpires from other countries I remember two very bad and bias umpiring in I England in 80s.
 
Faf needs to hals his maul!

Talk big about the opposition if you can bat! Clearly you can’t in the SC :shhhh
 
That was plumb lbw.... Yasir is so good when conditions are in his favor... every ball is an event... on track for 80 run lead baby
 
Poor from Faf. Yasir as usual in sub continent the only saving grace for Pak bowling.
 
Yasir needs atleast some support from the other end here. Other bowlers need to pull their socks up for test cricket
 
1 More wicket in these last 3 overs would be huge, if we can get markham out as well.
 
finally ...another question...Yasir is getting purchase from this END....why wasnt this tried before i mean what do the analyst in our team doo..Left handers will find it difficult here for sure
 
Is Maharaj a night watchman or the genuine 5. Hard to tell with this weak SA middle order.
 
South Africa 27-3, momentum back to us, Faf should have saw the day off!
 
Yasir once again prove he is a champion bowler pity he does not have any other wicket taking bowler to support him to put pressure on opposition.
 
Loving this test match, man. So good to see cricket back home. Once again, thankyou RSA. <3
 
Yasir has his weaknesses but he is the only match-winning Test bowler in Pakistan in favorable conditions.

Some people will blame him for world poverty just so that they can take the heat away from the overrated and talentless young fast bowlers.
 
Atlast some support for Yasir. Nauman was accurate throughout so a deserving one I would say
 
Markram played outstanding knock but gave it away at a very wrong time for SA.
 
South Africa choking??? Two main guns gone! Apart from de Cok does any other S Africa batter have pedigree for long innings?
 
Test match is game of patients posters here start winning too early as if the other team is only here to gift their wickets.
