*Official* England in South Africa Thread

Average decision by Dar there. It was touch and go in my view, too much doubt to give it out.

it was plum what are you on about?
Hit him well in line and was gonna hit middle.

Plum? Do you know the meaning of plum?

Quoting cricinfo:

"One has to ask was Gibbs not too far forward??"

One has to wonder if anyone cares!!!!!

Yes.

 

[Jono]

There's a reason why Botham called Dar a brave umpire for that decision. Look at where he bowled it from, look at how far forward Gibbs was. There was plenty of doubt in that.

This is plum:

That was an average decision.

 

[twctopcat]

Yes.

In light of the earlier mistake????Let bygones be bygones and all that?

It hit him in line, but it didn't straighten very much and may well have missed leg. It was a touch and go decision, and personally I don't think it should have been given.

How come England are good all of a sudden? I preferred them when they were shite, i.e, 1987-2003

Omg.. You can only complain about the decision when it actually is wrong... If it's a tight decision and the umpires give it correctly, more power to him. That shows good judgement.

Remember hope is a good thing, maybe even the best of things......

More competitive teams = good for cricket

Now just get Flintoff to bowl a couple of bouncers at Ntini and he's dead...
