South Africa in England

Not out. The ball was indeed on the way up as it went into his hands, which is a tell tale sign it was on the bounce. To be fair, in real time Collingwood and Strauss would have thought it was out, as did McKenzie.

Collingwood is the worst sport playing the game. He had a close up view of that McKenzie non-catch and celebrated like it went in where he saw it obviously hit the ground. Disgraceful.
Of course, he had the benefit of various slow motion replays. As I said, in real time it looked out. Even McKenzie thought it was out!
 
Strauss didn't pretend he was 100% sure, but that did look a good catch at first. Maybe an inch short, if that.

Having just seen the slow motion, yes, it did look like it bounces, but in the full speed from Ground level, it looks like it carried, But Strauss's reaction proved he didn't know.
 
Apart from that these two batsmen are well worth their runs, with England having bowled a little oddly, especially at the nightwatchman. Nice to see some movement, though.
 
I have managed to win back the TV.

And just in time, got to see the second wicket, and then watch a peach Sidebottom's first 2 balls were!

Stunning!

Sidebottom will get a few wickets today I feel. :cool:
 
Anderson woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning.

Wrong side of your bed...

If Carlsberg did England getting owned...

Terrible session, good conditions and the bowling was pretty dire apart from a few good balls from Flintoff. Series will be gone soon if this carries on.
 
lol, England.

Interesting if SAF can make it 3-0, that would be great. AAnything to bring them down off the test ranking.
 
Nah it hit the ground, it's obvious. You can see it hit the ground even if it hits it and the fingers. It obviously hits the ground.

I said a few expletives when I had seen the replay and then saw your post. Your calling Collingwood disgracefull?!?! It's not like when AB de Villiers dropped that catch and Graeme Smith and not sure who the other person was but they surounded AB and were persuading AB he had caught it. The england guys didnt actually know and Colly from the looks of it barely said a thing apart from congratulate im but it was a very somber appeal.

To be honest england lost the last what 9 days of cricket? They lost all 5 in the second test, lost yesterday, losing today and lost the last what 2/3 days at Lords?
 
England fighting back! From 94/1 to 135/4. Some good bowling now and Flintoff picks his 200th wicket up against McKenzie. An important wicket there and hopefully a few more quick wickets and we can, somehow, keep them under or around the score we got.
 
let me guess we still dont want referalls?

I hope the ECB are happy!! Cos I can tell you I'm fuming at this whole test and the other tesT!
