Nah poor from Safrica didn't alter his course to move onto the ball so they shouldn't have appealed imo.

Nonsense. The onus was on the umpires there - they Saffers were perfectly within their rights to appeal; if the decision was wrong it was the umpires' faults.
And I'm not so sure the decision was wrong - at first I thought it was wrong, but he did move into the line ever so slightly, and it was obviously to get in the line of the ball. Whether it was enough of a change of line to give him out, is another thing.

Not saying the umpires were right but it seemed trivial to appeal when Hafeez couldn't see where the ball was coming from.
Oop that was a bad drop from Smith by his standards.

My respect for Younis is eroding. He is being extremely selfish by continuing to play ODIs.

According to cricinfo, Hafeez was out so can't really complain. New rules are rubbish though.

Farhart looking g good for a slow test 50. If only it were a test.

Nonsense. Did you see him look over his shoulder? Did you see him run towards the stumps instead of for the crease? He was obviously trying to get in the way.
He's not hopeless. He made a call based on the laws of the game. How people interpret the new law is subjective. It was definitely not a hopeless call, nor was he looking for the spotlight.

He is hopeless. Did you not moan when he ****ed up that Kallis wicket by not reading the rules properly?
Viscount Tom

Which would make sense if he looked over his right shoulder or if ABDev was directly behind him he wasn't he was on a more 4/5 o'clock angle he's not a chameleon
MrPrez
International Debutant
I can't even remember that, but he's made a mistake before?
Shocker. He must be hopeless.
I don't really understand what you just typed, but let me just reemphasize that Hafeez ran towards the stumps. That's not normal. He swerved a bit about half-way down the track. Is that normal? As soon as it hit him, he swerved away from the stumps. Is that normal?

That is an example of just one blunder by Billy. He has made countless and is one of the worst International umpires.

Hafeez could not see Devilliers because of where the latter was positioned in relatuont to Hafeez
MrPrez
International Debutant
That's completely irrelevant. He was trying to see where de Villiers was, which obviously hints towards him trying to get in the line. When combined with his strange line of running, it's all pretty darn obvious.

WTF
so a batsman running towards one of the ends wouldn't try to see where the fielder was
MrPrez
International Debutant
So running from the edge of the pitch on one end, to the wickets at the opposite end, isn't a strange line?
