Well, the first obvious umpiring error didn't happen until the third ball of
the series.

And the second came in the 2nd over

Reading this I thought "omg no, seriously??!! mistakes already?!?!" so
I went and read the commentary.. having been out till now.

0.3     Khan to Hayden, OUT, and he's given him! Zaheer strikes with his
third ball, pitching this one marginally fuller and closer to off
stump, forcing Hayden to play at it and there's some deviation, Dhoni
takes it low in front of him and they all go up in appeal and after a
thought Asad Rauf raises his finger
ML Hayden c wicketkeeperDhoni b Khan 0 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
That brings Ponting to the crease for the fourth ball of the day.
Replays show some deviation. Not sure as to whether it is bat or pad.
There was a noise. The ball hit the upright seam and shaved away.
Looks like the ball passed the outside edge as the bat brushed pad.
Very hard for the umpire to distinguish.

1.4     Sharma to Ponting, no run, full and on the stumps, Ponting gets
a massive stride forward and the ball hits him just outside the line
of impact, Ishant asks the question but Koerzten shakes his head, fair
call that

"Looks like the ball passed the outside edge as the bat brushed pad"
versus "Koerzten shakes his head, fair call that".


"pitching this one marginally fuller and closer to off

were the original words

Let the fireworks begin. Where the heck was the review?

There aren't any this series.

The umpires don't get the replays we (or the comms) do
