| A huge debate has been sparked here, and Elliott is looking utterly aggrieved. England had the chance to withdraw their appeal, but Collingwood decided that, with the match at stake, he had no option | |
| 43.4 | Sidebottom to Elliott, OUT, all hell breaks loose here. A massive mid-pitch collision between Elliott and Sidebottom, who was closing in on the ball but running straight at the batsman, and Elliott goes down clutching his thigh. England carry on and throw down the stumps at the non-striker's end, and after a long debate, he is given out. |
PS:- The umpire making the call - Mark Benson!
PPS:- I hope the Kiwis dont shake hands with the Poms after the game. The Poms dont deserve it.

So, justice is served, and for Collingwood, there's a bit of a humiliating postscript as he heads across to shake hands with the New Zealand dressing-room, but is snubbed at the door.
Looks like you got your wish after all.
Anonymous,
Thanks for your comments..
A humiliation, well deserved.
Cheers,
NZ ran out Murali when he was celebrating Sanga's 100.
Q,
Brendon did not have to make the call on calling Murali back - big difference.
Cheers,
He could have called him back if he wanted to.
Q,
Fleming was the captain - it was his call.. And Fleming deserved a kick on his backside for not calling Murali back.
Cheers,
Well ok Fleming then :-)
My only point is that its alrite, it happens. Its cricket.
Q,
Dont be surprised then if Andre Nel shoulder pushes or trips Kevin Pieterson when the Proteas take on the Poms. Or the Proteas target the Pom heads ( courtesy beamers)..
Cheers :)
As long as its not intentional I have no problems with it.
Sidebottom did not intentionally run into Elliot.
Elliot ran on the rong side of the wicket. Sidebottom was going for the ball...
In fact had Elliot run on the right side of the wicket and sidebottom collected the ball, Elliot would have been run out.
