Does anyone know if you get a refund for tickets you bought via Ticketek if they don't have a day 4 or if they allow free entry? I paid 180 bucks a seat :(

0% chance of Haddin being so diplomatic about that if he played in the era before instant video replays.

Exactly. He was being honest. Although while he didnt appeal, he didnt say he hadnt caught it either.

With the gloves on I imagine it's harder to tell (ive never played keeper though).

All you can really do is tell the umpire you aren't sure.

Yeah it was pretty cringe-worthy to listen to Taylor and Warne go on about it for an entire over, having to interrupt themselves to actually commentate on the currently played shot. Warne making up some utter bullshit about being able to see part of Haddin's glove behind the ball was just pathetic.

No doubt they'll mention it again repeatedly during wicket highlights and/or if Stokes goes onto a big score.

e: The fancy-hair umpire just called a front foot no-ball without it having to be checked after a wicket. First time this series? I honestly thought they weren't even looking anymore.
