He's not out but the umpires gave it didn't they?

Surely the South Africans have dictated the play there?

Vaughn "caught it" (he actually dropped it) Amla walked got to the boundary and Smith told him to go back to the crease - cue confusion and Amla remains not out.

Of course not! But I was amazed how the umpires allowed the celebrations, allowed the batsman to walk and then allowed Amla to come back.

SkySports are replaying it over-and-over again - but Vaughan clearly doesn't have his fingers wrapped around.

He didn't drop it though, RP. Great effort by Vaughan, but the right decision in the end.

I was more pissed off that Billy B gave a no ball 2 balls later, with Freds foot behind the line, and Amla gloved to Tiny Tim. Not happy

Drop was the wrong word. I was fuming after the no ball which was gloved.

Big roller is out.

Beefy thinks the pitch is going to do a bit.

He also says that the grass feels fresh.

Did they not tell Amla to stay out there again this time? Cheating Bastards!

I actually Vaughan got the ball. I think he got his fingers underneath the ball. Not like De Villiers. Cheating Bastard.

I disagree... He didn't have control and his fingers were not sufficently underneath the ball.

There was no way that was out. Glad he came back for that reason tbh.

pattinson looks about as much of a threat as a cripple with a peashooter at the somme

why didn't tremlett come in for sidebottom? in fact, why not harmison or even hoggard? maybe even jones? i can't understand the logic of it at all.

i think we're getting a bit stale at the moment.
