of course that only shows the batsman knew he was not out.
that goes without saying.
thing is it was impossible to give it not out without the benefit of multiple camera angles and TV replay. even dickie bird would have given that out.
check it out yourself !

on the issue of UDRS, ICC will have to start paying up for it, no use asking telecasters to foot the bill. see boycott's interview in CI.

That is Kallis's game. Play slowly but surely. Most of his innings are boring but very very effective. Amla started very slow. Much slower than Kallis. But then he caught him up (SR) in the last session. That is their game. With Steyn and others this is the best strategy. Two and a half day of batting with Dravid Laxman not there SA in driving seat.

kallis in fact scored at a brisk pace. he was in golden touch in the tour game too. it was amla who got bogged down a bit. the downside of the approach is that one good session can change the fortunes of this match. even though no wickets were lost, the simple fact that the bowlers didn't surrender and kept pegging away was heartening to see. except half an hour before tea, in no period of this day's play were the batsman dominating the bowlers. on this track you could hardly do anything other than bowl tight and hope the batsman makes a mistake. credit to kallis and amla they didn't and set SA for a superb platform for the best batting day i.e day 2.
