I don't think they should be going on word exactly, but they've got to more 'clever' when they look at these replays as surely everyone knows about fore-shortening and all of this.

Didn't Dermot Reeve do some tests on this a few years ago for Channel 4 which proved that you could get your fingers underneath without it showing on the TV pictures.

 

[pasag]

thats what she said.

Seriously though, both catches were clearly out, this one more so than the Strauss one but as long as they are referred to the third umpire they will keep being given not out. personally, i think the fielders word needs to be taken.

Haha your first joke ever? Congrats!

 

[tooextracool]

hussain did the same on sky during this series.

if only the english batsmen showed this sort of application in the first innings this game would most likely beyond doubt by now.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Morkel straight back on the rubbish.

 

[jammay123]

did morkel and harmison switch?

 

[chalky]

[chalky]

Gone next ball caught at short leg hooking

Even in this innings its only really 2 batsmen who have performed. Guess you can also include Sidebottom too now.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Good comeback ball indeed, shame all that rubbish before meant he had already added 22 valuable runs.

Anderson farming the strike I hope this doesn't come back to haunt England

Maybe he's worried Collingwood will get out and leave him high and dry not out again!

 

[chalky]

Probably do a better job than he does opening the bowling

 

[Scaly piscine]

Stick to blocking and proper shots ffs.

Tailenders trying to rival England's top order for stupidity.

 

[grecian]

Why was Anderson playing a shot a ball, madness and out.

stupid stuff this, from sidebottom first and now anderson. i can understand the bowlers not thinking much about the ability of our batters but to go out there and play shots as though they are top order batters is ludicrous.

 

[Tom Halsey]

Ffs Anderson, what a gimp.

I know what was that shot he got out to a back foot cover drive on the up?

Colly gone now England lose 3 in no time
