[endymion248]

There was a noise but no hot spot :/

 

[Akmal Dynasty]

Khair that was a good delivery by rahat

 

[Bullet Drive]

I can see an edge on hot-spot.

 

[saiyan0312]

Come on steve davis. just hit the button of out.

 

[asif9138]

its good to boost youngster moral

 

[Bullet Drive]

Not out given.

 

[FerozShahKotla2005]

Even if it's not out, it's worth the review.

 

[saiyan0312]

Not out......

 

[IMMY69]

South Africa v Pakistan |1st Test| Day 1, 1st February

Raja is such a complete pleb

 

[asif9138]

not out given

 

[IMMY69]

South Africa v Pakistan |1st Test| Day 1, 1st February

There was a spot on the bat

 

[Ahson8]

Not out but what a beauty from Rahat

 

[Bullet Drive]

If you zoom in you can see a slight white mark on hot spot.

 

[asif9138]

need a yorker by RA

 

[Ahson8]

I can see an edge on hot-spot.

What edge bhai?

 

[0tt0man]

Rahat is showing flashes of brilliance. Must be persisted with and given a long run.
He has been very unlucky so far.

 

[saeed-sohail]

South Africa v Pakistan |1st Test| Day 1, 1st February

I can see an edge on hot-spot.

There was a clear mark on the bat half way up or I am blind.

 

[saiyan0312]

ajmal is on now.

 

[Bullet Drive]

1 to AB.

 

[IMMY69]

South Africa v Pakistan |1st Test| Day 1, 1st February

If you zoom in you can see a slight white mark on hot spot.

Absolutely I could see it and reckon Haysmen could see it to but kept quiet as Raja continued to talk rubbish!

Definitely a spot on the bat

 

[HaMmy FinE LeG StriKeR]

its good to boost youngster moral

wasting reviews?

 

[pakistanalltheway]

South Africa v Pakistan |1st Test| Day 1, 1st February

There was a clear mark on the bat half way up or I am blind.

It was tiny but I think I saw that too

 

[Square Drive]

That was a good decision from the 3rd umpire. Can't give those out.

 

[Muddaser]

Raja is such a complete pleb

Completely agree.

There was a mark on hotspot.

 

[saiyan0312]

Rahjat bowling very dangerously.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Brilliant doosra to Ajmal.

 

[shah_1]

He is showing some glimpses of his talent

 

[asif9138]

ab down the trak

 

[saeed-sohail]

South Africa v Pakistan |1st Test| Day 1, 1st February

There was a spot on the bat

So it was not just me who saw a blurry but sizeable mark half way up on the bat.

 

[Bullet Drive]

There was a mark but its not conclusive and you cannot overturn it.

 

[IMMY69]

South Africa v Pakistan |1st Test| Day 1, 1st February

Sorry but that was out!! What's hot spot there for then??

 

[Bullet Drive]

Rahat has improved since tea.

 

[Square Drive]

There may have been a slight edge, but the replays were not conclusive and so the benefit of the doubt had to go to the batsman.

Let's get on with it, folks.

 

[Bullet Drive]

bad ball.

 

[saiyan0312]

nice shot by AB

 

[Square Drive]

Nice shot,

 

[asif9138]

4444

 

[endymion248]

Pace is up to 137 kph too. That's decent for tests over a spell

(I'm starting to sound like a fanboy :/)

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

The spot was clear to me too. Maybe those commentators are using small monitors or something.

 

[Square Drive]

Junaid should replace Rahat after a couple of overs.

 

[saeed-sohail]

South Africa v Pakistan |1st Test| Day 1, 1st February

Absolutely I could see it and reckon Haysmen could see it to but kept quiet as Raja continued to talk rubbish!

Definitely a spot on the bat

Can 3rd umpire hear the commentators? If that is the case then Haysman clearly influenced that call.

 

[IMMY69]

South Africa v Pakistan |1st Test| Day 1, 1st February

That was a good decision from the 3rd umpire. Can't give those out.

Why the hell not??? Wahhabi to Strauss at the Oval was as faint but hot spot showed a little mark and it was given

 

[FerozShahKotla2005]

Someone get me a picture of this tiny white spot.

 

[Square Drive]

Bad delivery, 2 runs.

 

[asif9138]

this partnership worth 40..need to break it

 

[Bullet Drive]

Great shot.

South Africa v Pakistan |1st Test| Day 1, 1st February

So there was noise and mark on the bat yet no mark on the pad!! Jesus

 

[Muddaser]

There was a mark but its not conclusive and you cannot overturn it.

Whats conclusive to you. A huge mark the size of a golf ball?

 

[saiyan0312]

42 partnership. saffers recovering a little but just a little.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lovely ball again.

 

[shah_1]

[pakistanalltheway]

South Africa v Pakistan |1st Test| Day 1, 1st February

Test the bat for Vaseline !

 

[Bullet Drive]

Lovely shot, no run.

 

[asif9138]

RA bowling good after tea

 

[Bullet Drive]

Good fielding.

 

[Square Drive]

I got surprised the moment I woke up and saw Rahat in the side ahead of Irfan and Tanvir.

 

[IMMY69]

South Africa v Pakistan |1st Test| Day 1, 1st February

The following:

Combined with the noise and there was no mark on pad?

 

[Square Drive]

Beautiful shot, but great fielding.

 

[battler]

Now u guys understand why bcci is against drs.

 

[Jo_Don]

First time saw a bouncer by spinner in the good lenght.

Robin Peterson will get his revenge

 

[James]

Was there definitely a hotspot? I really tried but couldn't see it.

 

[Bullet Drive]

Respect to Rahat for coming hack so well.

 

[saeed-sohail]

South Africa v Pakistan |1st Test| Day 1, 1st February

Mike stop digging it deeper.

 

[Square Drive]

Oooh, almost bowled!

 

[rockers2012]

So it was not just me who saw a blurry but sizeable mark half way up on the bat.

it was blurry for a third umpire to make a decision...we need clear evidence of it

 

[asif9138]

need a wicket here

 

[Bullet Drive]

Great fielding by PAK.

 

[waqar_ahmad]

Come on Rahat, one wicket! THat's all pak needs at this stage

 

[Jo_Don]

No u guys understand why bcci is against drs.

Why? Inconclusive evidence means it stays with the on-field decision anyway. Don't defend those paper-monkeys.

 

[Square Drive]

Yaar, let's just get on with it. A wicket will come soon, and I know it. Who's with me here?

 

[shah_1]

discipline bowling from Rahat, need to be patient here

 

[pakistanalltheway]

South Africa v Pakistan |1st Test| Day 1, 1st February

Was there definitely a hotspot? I really tried but couldn't see it.

It was there but didn't last for the whole duration of the shot

 

[Bullet Drive]

Ajmal please go over wicket.

 

[JibranAnsari]

Get off rahat please!

 

[Bullet Drive]

Pommie & Shaun Pollock now in.

 

[Square Drive]

Good running.

Hafeez needs some overs now.
