Pattinson way too good for Smith.

Smith out limply for 9.

But the game result is not in doubt. Heat will lose again.

Brilliant boundary-line catch by Alex Hales to dismiss Miller.

He took it going backwards and tossed it in the air just before his boot brushed the boundary padding. His momentum then took him over the line and he dived back into play, taking the ball in the air without brushing the boundary on the way back in.

Compare it with the "controversial" catch by Renshaw: http://magpies.net/nick/bb/viewtopic.ph ... 35#1948535 .

(Not really the catch that was controversial, but the law that made it uncontroversially out.)

To me, Renshaw's catch was far too simple, which somehow made it feel like it didn't justify having a rule that allowed the ball to be swatted back into play while over the boundary. The Hales catch was much harder, and the ball was never over the boundary line, just Hales.

Khawaja & Hales are at the crease.

Will Khawaja nick off again with zero footwork and zero knee bend?
Is there anywhere to place bets on this sort of thing? I have financial needs! :shock:

The answer is no! Khawaja flicks Faulkner straight to the man on the square-leg boundary. (Good that the fielder stayed on the boundary line.)

Nicking in T20 is an asset. How often do you see even 1 slip ?
