Was a little noise and a mark on hotspot
The noise was his feet and the mark was there before. The umpire even said it himself. I seriously question the thought processes of some people.
The mark wasn't there before
He said he thought it might have been there before but on a second look realised it wasn't
There was an obvious spike on snicko in between the background noise which could only have been one thing
I must have problematical eyesight, because the mark was there before and after, clear as day.
I could only pick up the noise of his feet, nothing off the glove. Fact is you can't hear much off the glove.
Snicko was the only possible pointer towards him hitting it, nothing else, so he may well have hit it.
I thought you had to be 100% certain to overturn the onfield umpire, which he clearly wasn't because he took about 10 minutes to make up his bloody mind.
It wasn't
as the ball went past the glove it made a clear mark
In the end he decided the mark on hotspot was clear evidence
