My opinion is different. I think there was enough doubt from Snicko as a spike appeared next to the bat. You maybe right. I maybe right. There was enough doubt for the 3rd umpire to say to give the benefit, but that doesn't happen.
The noise that was just appearing as the ball was already well within the plane of the bat was the pad. The noise would’ve been earlier from the bat.

Some things aren’t opinions and the evidence showed that wasn’t nicked.

At 4 o clock, I was going to have to decide whether to watch the cricket, or the golf.

Easy now. This won't get to 4 o clock.

Now need to decide what to watch between when this is over, and the golf starts.

Consider the possibility that the ball feathered the bat and the pad at the same time. This has been proven before, in the same manner as the fore-shortening camera angle for catches that appear grounded that aren't.

There was visible light between them. I wouldn’t even need snicko for that one, it was just the final proof for those denying the clear space.
