Yeah, that was peculiar.

I'm 99% sure that's what McCullum was correctly complaining about. Should just be a blanket rule for all though imo.The exact wording of law 42.6 is interesting:
6. Dangerous and unfair bowling
(b) Bowling of high full pitched balls
(i) Any delivery, other than a slow paced one, which passes or would have passed on the full above waist height of the striker standing upright at the popping crease is to be deemed dangerous and unfair, whether or not it is likely to inflict physical injury on the striker.
(ii) (ii) A slow delivery which passes or would have passed on the full above shoulder height of the striker standing upright at the popping crease is to be deemed dangerous and unfair, whether or not it is likely to inflict physical injury on the striker.
In both cases, the umpire should call no ball.

So as it was an attempted slower ball and passed below the shoulder it should've been legit?

Wouldn't that be in regards to a spinner? Because I have no idea how an umpire is suppose to rule on what is and isn't a slower ball.The exact wording of law 42.6 is interesting:

Martin Guptill is the Man of the Match: "I was talking to Taylor earlier today and he said to relax during the innings. Hopefully i can continue and deliver more of the same in Port Elizabeth."

Yeah but what if Marlon Samuels sent down his 120kph quicker ball at chest height? It really is dumb to have the double standards. Should be
above waist high = no ball
end of story.

Already a no-ball at that point.

Where do they draw the line of what's considered fast though?

Perhaps somenone's instincts felt that it was just 'right' to bowl Corey that often and at those times.

Guppy! Wins it single handed, pretty much. new favourite player; from the him/Taylor/Bracewell pic to being a genuine nice bloke to winning games single handed, he's awesome. Suspect Test ability be damned, give him a ride for 2 years.

A great win @BLACKCAPS awesome batting by @Martyguptill well deserved mate. #goodslogsweeps
WAGWell done Guptill, mostly a one man show from New Zealand. Bad leg side bowling from SA and dropped way to many catches. Don't think the result would have been the same if there where no delay, but it made it a good game.
My prediction is still for a SA 2-1 series win.

I'm glad to see that Guptill has earned the right to be aggressive.
