Remember the one he took at square lag vs nz in an odi years ago? He even got up and looked at the umpire as if to say "that bounced didn't it?"
There was a shocking one in grade cricket over here this year that someone managed to get on film!

Burns just hasn't been wanting to drive too much in this test so far. Playing too much on the back foot. He did bat in the middle of a very good Indian spell though. He didn't get to face the crud bowling Haddin got in the first innings and Warner got at the start of the 2nd innings.

Oh my! That is atrocious. And the dropper looks to be telling the batsman to get on his way. This is the trouble you see, professionals do this **** and get away with it so it permeates the amateur game. :ph34r:

I do love my six specialist batsmen in Tests and five specialist bowlers in ODIs.
Your reason for preferring 4 specialist bowlers instead of 5 for tests? For mine the preference is linked to the minimum overs bowled per day. If 20-22 overs a day is a reasonable workload for a bowler that would only leave, say 6 or so overs for a 5th bowler. Much better to give that job to a batsmen who can send down a few part timers that a specialist 5th bowler. If 100 overs a day was the mandated minimum then I'd favour selecting 5 specialist bowlers for tests (and fc cricket).
