Re Dilshan being given not out, I'm not sure. I don't think the replay
was conclusive either way -- in which case, the on-field decision
('out') should stay. If we start using replays and then give benefit
of doubt, that would be too much.

true. the nfl (american football for you old-world fuddy-duddies) model is
better, imo.
the ruling on the field stands unless there is undisputable video evidence
to overturn it.


I would agree with this. Dilshan should have been out. But hey, 2 out
of 3 is not bad.
