South Africa in England

[Mermaidman]

England are finding this worringly easy, Im currently listening to TMS where is blowers? I havent heard him in ages.

 

[Sureshot]

Strauss gone, lbw to Morkel. Poor decision by umpire Harper, pitching outside leg-stump.

 

[angryangy]

Strauss is unlucky, but I think the umpire saved us all another session of misery.

 

[DPRA]

Strauss Mighty unlucky to have been given out there, never should have been.

 

[shravi]

What a ball by Steyn! This is more like it.

 

[Maxkarter]

Steyn!

I hope this could trigger a bit of progression into the innings now, should do heaps for the morale.

 

[Ollie_H]

What! What! a ball!

 

[TC Ink]

Geez, I can't understand for the life of me why you can say that "Strauss is unlucky" "Umpire made a mistake". Its not a deadset rule that the ball must pitch in line, more a guideline when making a decision. When I saw it live I immediately thought OUT, thats plumb. Reply comfirmed, hawkeye saw the ball go crashing right through the middle of middle stump. I couldn't care less if the ball only just didn't pitch in line, there was no doubt it was going to hit the stumps. Out, good decision.

Morkel gets another English collapse incoming?

Erm, it is.

Typical England collapse here. Big pressure on Bell and then after that Collingwood, be nice for them to prove the doubters wrong. Still got Pietersen there, so hopefully he can make a decent knock.

 

[shravi]

Another one. 3 quick wickets. England are in trouble here. The openers were just starting to play a bit more positively and now that England are 3 wickets down, they're going to have to re-group and need Pietersen and Bell to adopt a slightly more defensive approach towards their innings.

 

[Leicester Fox]

omg, how did we do this. Well bad umpiring didn't help but stil, Vaughan gets bowled like that so often. Need KP and Bell to do it now. 400 is a minimum imo but I can't see us getting there.

 

[stereotype]

Erm, it is.

Not if it hits him in line

 

[Insomniac]

Not if it hits him in line

It can't pitch outside legstump...

Seriously, have you even played cricket?

 

[PhilD123]

Not if it hits him in line

No, the bowler was bowling from over the wicket to a left-hander. The ball cannot pitch outside leg-stump for an LBW to be given. It can pitch outside offstump if the ball hits him in line.
