Ian Bell's caught and bowled against Yousuf is another where he watched the ball hit the ground.

The shortened form of "yarpie", which is the Anglicised version of Japie, I think.

He wasn't given out, but only because he stood his ground after Harper claimed the catch. He was pretty much the only one on the ground who could see it go down and he just stood there shaking his head until they referred it and showed that Harper had grassed it.
Yeah, now that really was shocking. Surprised it hasn't got more of a mention in this thread tbh.

One? Clarke has a bit of a reputation TBH. It's not just one catch. I said this before, but he genuinely wants to bring in the one bounce rule to Test cricket.

Just off the top of my head, the two that come to mind are the NZ one, the one he claimed off Ganguly. I remember making a list of five or six catches, all, shall we say, dubious that Clarke claimed (should be in my post history, I'll check).

Always thought he was a better keeper, lesser batsman.

Ssh. Doesn't count when that man does it.

This was perhaps one of the worst bit of umpiring and appealing ever. The ball bounced, meaning proper bounce, before Moin took it.

You can't possible compare that to Latif, Clarke (vs. NZ), Ganguly or Bell's.
Wasn't out though, umpire should have called replay.

No. I don't think there's any instance of cheating anywhere near as bad as Latif's in particular.
You can compare it to Clarke vs. India though, and that gave half the country a brain haemorrhage. Personally I'm inclined to give both players the benefit of the doubt because I (like vic) think that sometimes you genuinely think you've caught something you haven't. It's just worth pointing out how little uproar there is over the Tendulkar incident in comparison with the very similar Clarke incident.

I think the uproar was more because of what had happened during the whole game rather than the single incident. It was a feeling of everybody is against us that was the reason for the uproar.
I agree that benefit of the doubt should be given to both Clarke and Tendulkar, but under those circumstances it was pretty irritating to see Clarke's word being taken when on the previous day he hadn't walked after edging to slip.
