Amla far more in the wrong than Prince. Whatever Prince did, there was bound to be a run-out after that call.

Rubbish. Amla was well in and Prince is quicker than Amla. The run was definitely on.

Either way, if you're the new batsman, you sacrifice your wicket, even if the set batsman is the one who stuffed up.

Don't know about that, Amla may not have made it but would have mad the fielder throw at the stumps at least, coud easily have missed.

It's not as if he's gone either side of the fielder, though, he's essentially gone straight to him. Never, ever a run.

You can't say Prince is in the wrong when he has to "sacrifice his wicket" though. Amla shouldn't be putting him into that situation. It was an awful call.

It's seriously amazing how often SA lose considering the individual quality they have in their team. Must be so frustrating for the fans.

Lol at blaming Prince for that. Clearly no run there imo. Its a test match, not a T20 where you run even when a single isn't there.

Amla was running to the danger end, he gets the call. If its rubbish, Amla loses his wicket. Prince must run, he would never have been out.

And yes, he is wrong, its a team game and he needs to take on for the team.

You're just biased towards Amla because he's undoubtedly a better batsman. If Amla did his job, there would have been no wickets lost, if Prince did his job, one of them still would have been out. Amla initiated a ridiculous run which was never, ever on. He's in the wrong.

If Prince had run, noone had to go out.

Are you honesty telling me that you think Prince was right in not sacrificing himself?

There was never a run there. No matter which end they went for. Simple as that. And Amla made the call that effectively gifted SL a wicket. He's more in the wrong.
