I don't think the ball is actually dead in this situation, but I agree that 'not out' was the right decision. Would have been a farce of World Cup 2007 Final proportions otherwise.

Very poor performance from Auckland in the field. Croft's drop on the boundary was pretty similar to Bowden's drop the other day.
Bowden, I see, went for plenty today whilst Houghton redeemed his figures somewhat with a much more miserly display.
Franklin was 1 off 5 balls, and sailed onto 17 off 8!! Taking Bruce Martin to the cleaners.

That's still no excuse for the line and, in particular, length he was bowling. He was bowling against domestic journeymen and sprayed it all over the place.

Has been a habit off him so far, get his eye in and then blasts away.

I'm thinking of writing a letter to Cricket Wellington protesting at the continued selection of Dewayne Bowden. He's a shocker. I know for a fact that a guy called Voltman could offer:
(1) More with the ball
(2) More with the bat
(3) An equally low standard in the field
(4) A lot more sledging, albeit of his own team
Therefore, Voltman >>> Dewayne Bowden and should be playing for Wellington.
QED.

I'd be happy to sign it, but I object to point 3. I'm yet to drop a catch (that I've got my hands on) so far this year - and that skied caught and bowled catch doesn't count.. 
And I don't think someone with a throwing arm like yours should be disparaging anyone else's fielding...

Don't need to throw [so much] when you can stop the ball before it goes past you... Plus, I've got a run out this year (even though the batsman was about 90 years old, it was a valuable run out given they needed only 7 runs to win at the time)And I don't think someone with a throwing arm like yours should be disparaging anyone else's fielding...
Not sure why you always seem to be able to make #4 the most overwhelmingly used of your cricket skills either.

Azhar Abbas chucks the odd one.

Just watching the replay, Auckland are struggling a bit if Morgan and Abbas are the best seamers we have.

In his second spell he chucks every one, I'm afraid. His action is horrible, no momentum whatsoever, and as it becomes increasingly powder puff the jerk in the elbow to create pace increases.

Too hittable in 20/20 cricket, especially given that he's only about 80%. Don't know if we'll see him back in the national side (barring the 20/20's) until he's had at least 3 or 4 FC games so that the selectors can gauge where he's at.
