I know Wiese hit two sixes but I still think it wasn't good cricket.

Can't criticise Behardien for his shot and then praise Wiese

Wiese hit it for six, behardien got out. difference between good and bad cricket is marginal.

Also hitting down the ground is a natural shot for wiese. Behardien's boundary area is more wide mid of /extra cover so wasn't really a natural shot of his to go over midon.

Yeah but that's a **** part of cricket and cricket analysis. Very few are consistent. Too many often criticise shot selection but praise the same shot if it comes off.

On your second point, that's fine but if you believe that, and Wiese skies it straight and up is out, you shouldn't criticise his shot selection there. Despite needed 4rpo with AB at the other end?

My initial reaction was that that looked dead out. Not sure the umpire could truly question the bounce. He maybe thought it pitched outside leg?

Anyway not out :)

The impact was above the knee-roll. At my own crap-umpiring-level that means there is no way you can be sure it's not sailing over. Not quite the same as ODI-level, but still.

Good series. After being 2-0 up England have lost the 3rd ODI despite scoring over 300 in the first innings, lost the 4th ODI after having it in the bag, and then collapsed pretty badly here from a decent position. Good stuff from Saffers but Eng had their chances.
