31 July
2008 England Rue TV
Decision England were
frustrated by television technology once again as
another disputed catch went against them in the
Test match against South Africa at Edgbaston as
reported by Ladbrokes. Andrew Strauss
pouched a low catch at first slip off Andrew
Flintoff which appeared to have dismissed Proteas
opener Neil McKenzie. However, as
England celebrated a success that would have left
South Africa 59 for two, McKenzie interrupted his
walk back to the pavilion to address
Strauss. Bet now at
Ladbrokes Having been asked
whether it was a clean take, Strauss shrugged his
shoulders and third umpire Ian Gould was asked to
adjudicate. As in the
previous contest at Headingley, when Michael
Vaughan's catch was annulled, TV replays did not
prove conclusive. That gave South
Africa, whose innings this morning began late and
included a further 20-minute stoppage for a shower,
a reprieve. Just 15
deliveries were possible before rain halted play at
Edgbaston this morning to frustrate England's
attempts to fight back. Following a
15-minute delay at the start of the day due to wet
weather, England were afforded a short burst at
second-wicket duo McKenzie and nightwatchman Paul
Harris. But Ryan
Sidebottom's only over cost 10 runs as McKenzie
found the ropes twice via a leg glance and a guide
to third man. South Africa
progressed to 51 for one, having lost captain
Graeme Smith to Andrew Flintoff's bowling yesterday
evening. Coach Peter
Moores called for his side to show their character
today after being dismissed for just 231 on a good
Birmingham surface on day one. England are 1-0
down with this the penultimate contest in the
npower series. Bet now at
Ladbrokes |
