I can imagine that having vestibular issues whilst people are hurling hard balls at you might be a bit of a problem.

Interesting notion…

Stumps, Australias day.

I didn’t quite catch this explanation at the time…

In a statement to BBC Sport, BBG said: “The only conclusion that can be drawn from this, is that the Snicko operator at the time must have selected the incorrect stump mic for audio processing. In light of this, BBG Sports takes full responsibility for the error.”

The technology uses audio from the stump microphones and in this instance it is believed the feed from the one at the non-striker’s end may have been used in error. Either way, England were unhappy, with the bowling coach, David Saker, indicating a complaint to the match referee, Jeff Crowe, may follow.

But the important thing is the umpire didn’t think he had feathered it and gave him not out prior to the review.

And how the hell are umpires expected to cope who are a bit deaf in one ear and can’t hear out of the other one.
