You're kidding right? The cut shot is a high risk shot, Sanga chose to play it, Sang a played it badly, game over.
Had Williamson been dismissed off of that evidence for say 60 odd in his innings, I strongly doubt you would have the same world view.

Like I said at the time of the dismissal, it was inconsistent with the way umpiring has usually gone in that situation in terms of needing definitive proof to over turn a dismissal. There was suggestion that he may have hit it due to some faint marks on his bat and a faint read from snicko but in the past, that exact decision has been left with the on-field decision.

I think the fact that Sanga was going at width and looking for boundaries indicate that they felt they had a good shot. But I think now they'll shut up shop and the only bowler we have that has consistently taken wickets when the pitch is dead is sitting on the sidelines because we wanted to try a guy who spends more time drinking and smashing bottles with his bare feet than he does perform for NZ.
can you please find a new forum where people care enough about your opinions to hear them repeated every single post no matter how irrelevant? You're a decent poster when you don't beat the same **** into the dirt over and over.

Was just thinking 'Bracewell looking pretty ordinary' literally as it took the edge. Big wicket before lunch.

There was a noise, a mark on hotspot and a sound on snicko. I wouldn't of been happy, but it was conclusive. I would of been peeved at Kane for playing such a loose shot.

In other news, dougeh! Been looking good all morning.

Bracewell crushed Silva like a glass bottle beneath his trampling feet there.

Also sounds like another good catch by Craig, so will repeat my earlier statement about how good it is to now have he and Neesham in slips now.
