The more you look at the Stokes dismissal, the more out it looks. No way of knowing intent, you have to judge the action, the movement. — Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) September 5, 2015

In real time would Stokes really have had time to think about deflecting ball from the stumps? Stand by for bowlers hurling ball at batsmen

Only shocking thing re Stokes’ dismissal is that he didn’t cling on to it..! — mark butcher (@markbutcher72) September 5, 2015

Fielders believe they have been denied a run out, batsman avoiding being hurt!!Both have valid points! Who’d be an Umpire ????

Usually I hate to be a fence-sitter but I really do think you can make a good argument either way on that obstructing call #engvaus — Brydon Coverdale (@brydoncoverdale) September 5, 2015

Common sense would tell you @benstokes38 was taking evasive action & was not obstructing the field. Smith should have withdrawn the appeal

I’ve just seen #BenStokes dismissal there is no doubt he should of been given out.The ball was feet away from his face. — Paul Nixon (@Paulnico199) September 5, 2015

#benstokes “obstruction” couldn’t have been anything but a reflex action… No one gets an intent in split seconds.https://t.co/o5747hzqmS

Steve Smith just has the brains t’ workout that t’day is Saturday, nevermind the complexities if t’ laws of t’ game! #BenStokes #Idiot — Sir Geoff Boycott (@SirGeoffBoycott) September 5, 2015

When first thrown it looks like it’s going to hit him, he puts hand up to protect himself #benstokes

Let’s place these 3rd Umpires(Slow motion camera) on 90 Mph ball and we will know the revised decision 😀 poor #Ben #benstokes #ENGvAUS
