Roach should not have been given out

Roach should not have been given out because replays didn’t show an edge. I don’t think that’s how it works. Bowden gave him out on the field and since replays did not prove that he didn’t nick it, the on-field decision should stay. The irony is that, if Bowden had given him not out, and the Australians had asked for a review, Roach might well have been given not out after the review because replays didn’t prove that he was out. It’s complicated, this UDRS. I couldn’t tell whether he nicked it or not. Hot Spot didn’t show much, but it often doesn’t pick up faint edges. This debate will rage on and on …

They are showing Snicko now and there’s a faint indication of an edge. Ever so faint, it could have been an edge, it could have been something else. I guess only Roach will really know.
