00:00innings toppings he would normally plays an attacking batsman it's been
00:07magnificent concentration of the silly leg and a short mid wicket in now for
00:11Mark Warp oops off the shoulder that's not out except on his stumps we could
00:19well be out I think he is out yes I think you'll find that's out if that's
00:24not a filter mark war is out bales are off so I think you'll find he's falling
00:29back on his stumps and that will be out there's no shortage of sensations here
00:35the umpire is going in to put the bales back on
00:44this is what happened
00:49that's that's okay that's not out I think you find a new real sense it's out
01:00I think you'll find that that is out Richie we'll have to wait and see I
01:04could check the laws of cricket I think if the player breaks the bales any
01:09manner of whatsoever after playing a shot he will be judged out that's my
01:13opinion that looking the current laws
01:21what a moment this stage of the match he's definitely knocked the bales off
01:28and Richie I think that's out
01:34well the third umpire taking a long time there's got to be some line where you
01:40can't be out there if you're walking out to square leg or something and then you
01:43walk back and tread on your stumps 30 seconds later I can't imagine how that
01:49could possibly be out I disagree I think the law was changed if any manner you
01:54break the bales what 30 seconds later yeah well what happens if you tumbled
01:58and stumbled and were half unconscious which and finally fell over it could be
02:0130 seconds you're still in the stroke there if there's no way in the world he's
02:06still in the stroke here he's been hit and he's walked away well I suggest
02:11that's out
02:17it's a question from the wick keeper asking the umpire that the bales are off
02:23there's no doubt he's broken the bales of the way what a moment what tension in
02:27the final minutes of the third and final test match
02:33by Steve Davis to give us in not out
02:40I think that's out it's my ruling
02:47Hansi Cronje is asking about it now the sequence was that Mark Waugh was hit
02:58then he walked away in full control of everything and just casually banged his
03:04bat against the stumps nobody in full control knocks the bales off Rich I
03:10think if you have a look at what Mark Waugh did you will say that he actually
03:15knocked the bales off himself quite deliberately
03:27I understand what Hansi Cronje is saying because I'm convinced in my own mind
03:31that the bales are broken in any method whatsoever but you're out
03:45Oh
04:15on the thing that just happened there Mark Waugh quite deliberately hit the
04:20stumps as he went past them well the two umpires don't agree all that much
04:23they're now having another walk up to Hansi Cronje this may be I got overruled
04:27the third umpire are they no they're finally going back to their positions
04:34that's after a long long deliberation I've never seen anything like this in
04:37test match ever well the actual reading of it is that if the wicket is broken
04:51with any part of his person dresser equipment as a result of any action
04:55taken by him in preparing to receive or in receiving a delivery or in setting
05:00off his first run immediately after playing or playing at the ball well he
05:04received the delivery and he knocked the bales off Richie well he's preparing
05:08to receive it he has received it that's the thing it's not preparing to receive
05:13it that's already gone and he has already received it it's plenty of drama
05:19his next delivery from Pollock and what an end to an interesting day it's going
05:23to be what controversy around the world well certainly will be but I can't see
05:29on the wording of the law how that could possibly be out now look at this he's
05:34finished there and he's walking away and he deliberately bangs the stump with
05:37his bat no batsman in his right mind deliberately hits the stumps with his
05:41bat well do you think he did there I don't think he deliberately hit it
05:49which I just think he was just ruling a better way that's the overgone listen to
05:53the crowd in fact there's one to come high pressure at the center of the
05:58Adelaide Oval what a sensation so away he goes there we go well he's pushed the
06:05bat away and hit the stump he wasn't looking at the stumps and Richie
06:08definitely wasn't in control of that well what a moment what a day it's been
06:16oh he's dropped him straight into the midriff to now that's the third one it
06:24was difficult but it was catchable what an over six for two hundred and thirteen
06:31poor Adam Barker at shortwave can't take a trick it's back and whips it straight
06:39into the midriff and out it comes
06:46I can give you another little note about it as well Fando only if the striker
06:54breaks his wicket whilst making a stroke or in setting off for a run immediately
06:58after the complete completion of his stroke should he be given out after this
07:01law was struck on the shoulder by delivery and he was reeling away wasn't
07:06he and he didn't look to me to be reeling anyway but I'll just read that
07:11again only if the striker breaks his wicket whilst making a stroke or in
07:15setting off for a run immediately after the completion of his stroke should he
07:21be given out under this law
07:25I hit my arm, my arm went numb, I lost my bat. I hit the stump. Yeah I couldn't see.
07:31Oh I dropped in. I can't believe it. I cannot believe it.
07:48Simcox. I can hardly believe the stroke I know Mark was tired but it's very
07:54similar to the one he played earlier and I said then I'm not quite sure why I'd
07:58be playing that stroke in these circumstances at 7 for 215. Klusner
08:08strikes the game still up for grabs with six overs to be bowled less three deliveries.
08:13Klusner's done it. He's had a great innings. He's lifted himself to
08:21join Pollock knowing that Pollock was tired. He's bowled that from very wide.
08:32It's 7 for 215.
