You can tell Marsh is new to test cricket because he must have forgotten that he could have reviewed this. Very strange indeed.

I was watching it live.

Clarke said in an interview that Marsh was convinced he had gloved it which is why he walked without reviewing once the decisions was given. Doesn't really excuse the umpire though... pretty poor really. Must've felt sorry for us!

The great thing in hitting is, not to be half-hearted about it; but when you make up your mind to hit, to do it as if the whole match depended upon that particular stroke.

I missed it live, but I saw the replay's and I didn't know what was going on, ahah. I think his gloves were on his pads and when the ball hit his pads, the pad must of hit his glove and gave him the impression that he gloved it.

Would have been funny if he was given not out and he walked, he would have walked off for nothing, ahah.

Yeah, it was definitely glove on pad. He did wait for the umpires decision though - so I would imagine if he was given not out he would've hung around? Who knows. Not a good way to go all in all.

The DRS in general has a long way to go. It wouldn't be hard for the 3rd umpire to overturn that before he had walked off as it was very clearly not out. I suppose that is a line of discussion for another thread though!

When you watch it at full speed, even for a professional umpire, he is moving as the ball hits him, making it that bit harder to see. It's only with the benefit of the slow replay from a different angle that the commentators realise that it doesn't hit the glove... It isn't great umpiring, but mistakes like that happen.
