[Burgey]

Gordon Greenidge still so cool. Was the most overtly aggro batsman I ever saw play.

 

[Expressway76]

Nah, Simon Jones lbw to Lee in the third innings before he and Fatty Flintoff put on about 40 odd.

Maybe DRS would've curtailed the sucking of mints on field...?

 

[Cabinet96]

de Villiers has only ever made one test match 100 when no one else in the team has. Big chance for him.

 

[Jacknife]

LOL did that go through the stumps.

 

[MW1304]

Nasser confirming what the rest of the world had worked out about 20 minutes ago.

Reckon drs would have been useless for that oz side, Warney would have used them in his first over every time.

 

[Jono]

That one man can one minute claim Harmison to be an infinitely better bowler than Hoggard because the latter got to bowl when the going was at its easiest and had no psychological effect on the batsmen can then turn around the next minute and cry foul when Finn is selected ahead of Onions says it all for me. It's just impossible to take you seriously on the matter.

Insane ball.

Just like second ball of the day here...

[Heboric]

Proteas in a bit of bother.

Someone needs to post a rulebook to Lords.

 

[Daemon]

Haha, pretty sure the third umpire was so obsessed with searching for a hot spot on the glove that he failed to notice Kallis wasn't even holding the bat. He's going to have some answering to do, terrible decision to get rid of one of the oppositions best batsmen in an all important game.

On a course but the score delights me. What have I missed?

One of the worst umpiring decisions you'll ever see.

 

[sledger]

SA bottling it.

 

[Expressway76]

Possibly the most ridiculous umpiring decision in many a year.

... and a load of Aussies complaining about umpires

... and a load of Aussies complaining about umpires

God forbid we talk about a bad decision when we see it...?

 

[Spikey]

it's not really choking if you get a couple of questionable umpiring calls and get a couple of great deliveries...it's just a typical SA loss.

 

[straw man]

Meh, ball hitting glove that is not holding bat should be out anyway. STopid rule - adds nothing to the game apart from making it more complicated. Rod Tucker just very progressive with his decision making
