Yeah... He'd probably look a little like "Bob" in Twin Peaks...Samuel_Vimes said:

Huge wicket, but at first glance it looked dodgy.

As usual, I just happen to have the footage at hand and in a word, yes. Not by much, though.
Everyone saying Strauss should have played back should watch that ball; Chanders did exactly that and it didn't help him. The fact is, with a ball like that, there is no 'correct' way to play it. Chanders is a magnificent player of spin and it beat him when he was on 70-odd.
Just saw a dodgy, dodgy, dodgy decision against Pietersen..................... He missed it by quite some distance. Hey, his first sub-50 Test score! Should get an award for that.

Hmmm... Not sure Koertzen got that one right either - I think it was pad, then elbow. Surely a hard one to say "yes, I'm fairly certain that was out". Don't think I would have given it.
Game's open now. Come on Aussies!

He got 20 more runs than he was entitled to, as he was out on 0.

Wasn't in 2001, it was back in the 90s I think, at the SCG. One of Warne's classics, turned an absolute mile, around the wicket and Chanderpaul (off the top of my head) just left it expecting it to go through to Healy it was so wide, but it ripped back and bowled him.BoyBrumby said:

Yep awful decision. Rubbish shot as well, but wasn't out and didn't look out.Top_Cat said:As usual, I just happen to have the footage at hand and in a word, yes. Not by much, though.

Noooooo...
Anyone spouts more nonsense about Englishmen getting all decisions their way and I will turn into a troll. That was nasty to see.

I would say justice was done, although not really as you can't take off 20 unfair runs.Slow Love™ said:
