Mar 17 : England vs West Indies

[Kabooka]

Damnit WI Lose, I dont want ENG knocked out. Lets hope that the catch taken by Trott is clean.

 

[Bevab]

No its a six!!!!!!!!

 

[Sureshot]

I think that's a ludicrous decision, absolutely no evidence at all he touched the rope.

In fact they've talked before about changing the rules on this, so that if a player is touching a rope, it doesn't actually matter. Which removes the error from situations like that and when the fielder clatters in to the rope.

Rats !!!

Same feelings here man, I want England in the QF and praying for a nearly impossible miracle to happen.

Looked to me like he touched the rope watching live.. the view from the other angle looked conclusive.

The rope never moved, the velocity with which he fell, if he'd touched the rope then it would have been displaced.

 

[Auwais]

He touched it.

 

[crazyrahul]

Its clear that sheer luck is with WI. That decision should have been gone with England. Don't know what third umpire sees there, Trott's shirt might have been touched the rope/

 

[Themer]

He touched it as far as I'm concerned.

You can't call it a ludicrous decision !! It was such a tight call...it's not a terrible decision either way. Benefit of the doubt should go to the batsman, and it always has.

For what it counts, I thought he had touched it.

 

[Sedition]

And Trott should've said he didn't know even if he was convinced. Actually feel bad for the rest of the English team and the fans more than anything else.

 

[Themer]

And Trott should've said he didn't know even if he was convinced.

Heat of the moment he was convinced but as they've just shown he told the umpire to have a look at the video afterwards.

 

[deepuparayil]

Come on....... Where is Mr.Miracle when he is needed?

Thought doesn't matter, you have to be conclusive. This is why there needs to be rules in the game that removes the "benefit of the doubt".

I'm not saying Trott didn't touch it, I'm saying there was no conclusive evidence he did. It's guesswork. The cameras used gave minimal information due to how far the had to zoom in.

All that said, England don't deserve to win this, not sure why Strauss ever went back to Tremlett. Bopara should have been bowling earlier.
