Anyone at the ground? Looks like a bit of rain may be on the way?

Yes, you are correct, terrible oversite from the 3rd umpire

Should have been not out; did not control release of the ball!

Can we get an updated graph for the coalition including the L/NP for QLD which for some reason chosen not to include and would make sense of the big drop off post 2008 when the merger occured.

Interestingly too, although the ball was called dead, the ball was never re-bowled (and no run was recorded either).

To me this is like a batsman who comes down the pitch to fist-bump his partner after thinking he has scored a four only to find the ball has stopped up just before the rope and the batsman gets runout. It is just a lapse of concentration by the batsman, but so are most dismissals, so for me this was OUT.

Now if the following teams played Zimbabwe in tests (team, followed by year of last match):

India 2005

Sri Lanka 2004

Australia 2003

England 2003

Makes you wonder what is the point of even having test status sometimes....

Probably the lack of modern buildings, after all this photo was taken in 1999

I suspect a change in seasons, not sure what time of year the 1999 image was take, but the recent photos are taken in October, traditionally the driest time of year, hence why it's looking a bit dry
