Disagree, for mine it is to get better results. You don't see say the hawkeye challenge in tennis protecting the umpire/linesman.

No. I meant it was purposefully designed to protect the umpire. I don't agree with it but that's what the ICC wants.

So very angry at that last wicket. Strauss' effort was bad enough but that is collective idiocy at its worst, stubbed out any chance of a win and made a Saffer victory look more likely.

I know its what the icc wants. I'm not sure how we even have a disagreement here.

Umpires call should be as rare as say returning to the ref in the NRL.

eta: do they even still do this I don't really watch league.

FTR, I disagree with 'upheld umpire's call' result of UDRS. It should just take a call and not give it back to umpire in any condition.

It's nice as a Saffer to see a hungry Protea team, yeah they could of played for a draw and kept their 1-0 lead, (Will give England their due, they forced SAs hand a bit by bowling well for a bit) but don't remember the last time I saw SA this aggressive.

And a fired up Dale Steyn is a sight to behold. Thank god he's on ourside.

It seems the stupid Prior run out has ended any ambition from England in chasing this unlikely target down. Fair enough imo, they had a crack early on but just lost a couple of wickets more than would have liked, just hoping we can bat out the time without too many issues. Call it off when we enter the last hour Graeme ?

Tbf, if SA didn't come out aggressively they could have lost the game, it wasn't a dead game when England came out to bat, now they have a few wickets it will surely only enhance their determination in this game.

Steyn is certainly a real joy to watch, cannot think he is much of a joy to face!

Surely Taylor should be up the order in the effort to win rather than down the order in the effort to save the match.
