Why benefit of the doubt for Broad but not Misbah?

    I don't get it? Broads bat looked in the air for the run out but apparently it wasn't conclusive enough to give it, yet misbahs dismissal showed the ball clearly hit bat before pad yet the decision was not overturned? Can anyone explain what happened there?

    Its ok CT bhai, get over it now. It was just an umpiring error and bad luck.

    Get over what? I actually asked a serious question, why you killing the conversation?
    Just wanted to know why it's one rule for and another for the other? There was enough doubt for him not to give it but he still did, yet for broads decision the element of doubt made him give it not out? Them extra runs he scored could cost us the game. What happened to consistency? Even aamir sohail questioned it live on air.

    I think on DRS reviews benefits of doubt go to decisions made by umpires.
    Where as things like fielding decisions, i.e. run out or bump-ball catches, these tend to go for benefit of doubts for batsmen.
