Like the Prince decision?

Actually, I was thinking of lbw's so more like the Hussey and Kallis overturned decsions in the second test.

Yes, we're running the risk of getting too technical.

In days of yore most people would have looked at that and said "looks like it hit him in line". The technology shows that it him him a poofteenth outside, but we didn't write these laws with technology in mind. We wrote them to be fair while making it reasonably simple for the onfield umpire to make a decision.

Anyway, Katich has shown once again why he's always worth a few overs (or more).

Seriously sage.

Kat gets AB.

by freddled gruntbuggly Sat 21 Mar 2009, 12:57

Great. Only 300 runs too late . . .

by JGK Sat 21 Mar 2009, 12:57

Surely it's time to declare. All that can happen now is that one of his bowlers gets injured.

by skully Sat 21 Mar 2009, 12:58

FFS, can the Drunk be any more stoopid. Ohma is on debut so "must be bowled". Gets snotted but still gets bowled. Finally, the Drunk says "man, you're tripe" and chucks the ball to Fleas, who immediately gets a wicket.

Farkin brain surgeon.

15 minutes to tea.

by JGK Sat 21 Mar 2009, 12:59

Make that 2 wickets skully.

by skully Sat 21 Mar 2009, 12:59

So 450 might be the lead at the declaration. Tidy.

Sorry guys. but this is seriously funny.

That Steyne dismissal was a perfectly pitched wrong 'un.

Now Capt Idiot drops one off the unlucky Midge.

by Red Sat 21 Mar 2009, 13:02

Punter puts down Harris.

Not sure how unlucky he's been. He's bowled a lot of wide crap in addition to some good short balls.

And he was a tad lucky with the Duminy dismissal.

by taipan Sat 21 Mar 2009, 13:05

Now Ponting drops the match.

by JGK Sat 21 Mar 2009, 13:05

AB skied one between 2 fielders, this dropped catch and a few play and misses.

430 behind on the first innings and you reckon that miss is going to decide the game?
You're channeling Red.

It was reminscent of his drop off Steyne in Melbourne which cost us the home series.

by JGK Sat 21 Mar 2009, 13:10

All over.

Fark that was an embarrassment by Aust.

Though McKenzie also dropped Punter.

Saffers played all summer with the liability of McKenzie but playing with McDonald and McGain in the one test is a bit much.

Harris's charmed life ends.

Yep, the entire SA innings was a touch lucky, hey Red.

651
Only 442 runs behind. Make a quick 550 and knock the Sith Effs over in a couple of sessions, right?
