It was a terrible shot. The decision only put a full stop on the whole thing.

Yeah, this. Afridi for instance....he's a far better bowler now than when he started out. Smith isn't a fool like him when it comes to batting either.

if he can keep playing gutsy innings down the order I think he has a future even without his bowling in tests. In limited overs I see his bowling being more of a big advantage. If he keeps Maxwell out of the selectors minds I don't care what he does I'll like him.

late to the party, but holy **** if after viewing that angle dharmasena can give him out, he should be fined 200% of his match fee for sheer incompetency

Daniel Salpietro can expect a phone-call from his Prahran club team-mate Chris Rogers. When Rogers was dismissed lbw for 84 on the first day at Old Trafford, it came the next ball after a prolonged battle to stop movement in the pavilion near the sightscreen.
Such distractions can affect the concentration of a batsman, and Rogers said after play he knew Salpietro was involved. "These things crop up every now and again," Rogers said. "I'll make a phone call because I know the guy who was up there. I'm not going to blame him. I think. Much."

Can honestly say I've never seen this ocker enmity towards Clarke that gets spoken of a lot. Mind you, when you consider the nature of a lot SA's athletes (and maybe SA in general
), maybe it's not much of a surprise but yeah, can honestly say I've never heard anyone say the flashiness bothered them.Arachnodouche

Yeah that is shameful. Umpires need to go through some basic intelligence evals before being appointed because that just smacks of 100% dumbass.

It's died down a bit since everybody sat down and looked up to him with the same wide-eyed "do something!" learned helplessness that they did with Allan Border, but in the height of the Lara days it was absolutely venomous. Most of the press (and us) took Katich's side after he throttled him, he was derided as soft and whipped when he bunked off a Test to tell Ms. Bingle she was out of line and he was booed on his captaincy debut. I was watching TV and it was completely discernible.Can honestly say I've never seen this ocker enmity towards Clarke that gets spoken of a lot.

I made a promise to myself before the series began that I would not get my hopes up or get too excited at anything that Australia do. That being said, I can't help but feel as though the past day could be absolutely pivotal in the context of the 10-match series. Momentum is such a big thing in cricket, and with Clarke leading from the front and Australia building some confidence it could go a long way. The first 2 sessions are going to be very interesting, to see whether Australia can push on and set a total of 500+ or collapse before lunch.

Rest assured though, I hate the ****ing ****
I'm personally glad to see umpiring in the spotlight after that performance

I knew the youtube comments would be bad. Then I went and read them anyway.
Why do I do this to myself?

Did he actually miss a Test though? IIRC he flew back to Australia, dumped his missus then flew back and scored a ton.
