See, that is the problem with the referral system. That was a classic benefit of the doubt. To me that half hit him outside the line and was classic benefit of the doubt stuff. That absolutely has the potential to ruin the character of the game.

Ian Smith makes a very fair point, if this thing becomes routine Dan Vettori will end up with a lot of test wickets because he will start getting front foot LBWs

Interesting point that.
If a batsman is hit in line with the stumps how do you judge the line the ball would take after it hit the pad when a spinner is bowling on a turning wicket.
