I know we're talking about whether or not he edged it (in which case I don't think he did), but I'm not actually too sure about whether or not it hit him outside the line. Looks like it should be umpire's call at least.
No. The answer is no. Inexplicably? Come on, no frame actually showing the bat and ball making contact. No help from snicko because of the bat hitting both the pad and the ground. Literally all there is is a frame of the ball moving in a slightly different direction. That's not quite enough for a third umpire to overturn an on field decision but to his credit, you could tell he knew it wasn't out and did everything that he could to find a reason to overturn it within the boundaries of his job. Absolutely no reason to criticise this guy in this instance...

Why don't they have hot spot? Its a very useful thing to have.
