Umpire could have reviewed it before giving out if he was unsure - that's one of the reasons it is there.

He even pulled a face as he raised his finger, shocking decision.

As others have said, we shouldn't have wasted our earlier review.

Aussie knew he hadn't touched it. Umpire wasn't sure but gave it out anyway. Gamesmanship..

Absolutely. Shouting “you’ve no review dickhead” just about sums them up as a cricketing nation. Vile team - and I actually love every Aussie I’ve met. What is it about their cricket team?

Don’t think he can for that

Bairstow you silly boy.

And Roy to be fair. He could have said that’s plum mate don’t review

 

[StMark's]

Bairstow seemed to review straight away without consulting Roy. Maybe he thought he had nicked it. It looked absolutely plumb.

If the umpire isn’t sure, he gives it not out. Benefit of the doubt is in the batsman’s favour.

Did he give Roy the opportunity to say anything. Not sure he did.

Absolutely. Still shocked at the way he gave it out, it was clear he had no idea. The Aussies were appealing to try and stop the wide being given by the looks of it.

I agree. Unless it's changed, they can only review for the ball being caught fairly if it was unclear, they can't use ultra edge to check for a nick. It's poor umpiring, plain as that, can't see what sound he could have heard and shouldn't be relying just on sight.
