Ah cool. Shame though, I love those 'hard-luck' stories.

Should land an IPL contract though, good on him.

Yeah, that would be awesome. I'm really hoping he goes to the Royals.

Got to love Sky News, every sports headline saying Vettori is calling Haddin a cheat.

 

[social]

Watched the video once and it seemed to me that:

a. ball wasnt going to hit the stumps;

b. it was atrocious keeping rather than an intentional slight of hand that resulted in bails coming off and should've produced a no-ball call;

c. neither batsman nor keeper had a clue but it seems both assumed that it was out when bails were on ground

d. bowler and fieldsmen were convinced and immediately started celebrating

e. umpires were obviously convinced

f. Haddin probably should've asked the umpire but ,having failed to do so, should definitely either apologised or shut the hell up

Cricinfo - Haddin calls 'cheat' claims poor and low

Have to admit, I've never seen so much solidarity in opining in any comments section like that.

 

[cowboysfan]

"After looking at the replay, my hands were in front of the stumps," and then go on to say ""But the ball, I'm 100% positive, hit the bails first and then came up into my gloves"

i rest my case -either haddin is pretty dense or he thinks cricket viewers are more stupid than him.

Are you a wicket keeper?

No, and I'm not Brad Haddin's hands either so I have no idea what he felt or otherwise. I'm not technically a batsman, so I guess I have no right to comment on anything batting related either. Nor am I a left-arm seamer...I'm right-handed. Areas in which I can offer my opinion are diminishing by the minute.

You don't have to be a wicketkeeper...or a genius...to offer an opinion on what might have happened in this instance. Would he have definitely known? No...

Always wondered what that meant.

yes he would.this is a cricket ball not a jfk bullet.if haddin admits he knew his hands were in front of the stumps then the ball cant go around it to hit the bails can it?
