Andrew Strauss is claiming a bumped catch. Batsman not convinced. But fielders claim. Struass does claim the catch. Counts as cheating.

  • I have been a fan of England and Australia both and love to watch Ashes but I have to admit that was NOT OUT!

    Not blaming Strauss though. I am a slip fielder and sometimes it is hard to figure out if the catch watch actually a catch and actually carried.

  • @PuppyBearGaming and 2 dimissals in the second innings off flintoff were no-balls

    so poor umpiring really costed australia a chance to save or even win the test match

  • @lucas198 rofl are you serious?

  • Benefit of the doubt should go to the batter. Not out.

  • No doubt about it. Fingers under the ball. No bounce off the ground.

  • All these videos on youtube of bump catches being made out to look like active cheating is simply ridiculous. If you're fielding and you catch the ball close to the ground - especially slip or gully fielding - it is almost impossible to know if the ball has carried 100% of the way.

    Strauss never cheats, his conduct may be deemed by some to be unsportsman-like at times (e.g. Cardiff where he continued to send out new gloves/physios etc. to waste time) That is still within the laws of the game.

  • @PuppyBearGaming yes but the thing is, that was the one of 3 bad descissions made by rudi koezrton who in the first innings, gave ponting out caught behind when he missed the ball by a foot.

    a similar situation occurred with hauritz and that time koezrton went to the 3rd umpire and gave it not out unanimously. he also gave hussey out when he missed a ball which spun to second slip, out caught behind when replays showed he didnt hit it.

  • @dj6ful Can't blame Strauss, it was only Phil Hughes, probably would have been out next ball anyways :D

  • well usually strauss is a true gentlemen. i dont think you can blame strauss cause its very simaltanous so to him he probably thinks hes caught it.

    really the two umpires shouldve gone to the third umpire for a referral but no they didnt. not so much cheating but horribleumpiring

  • Clearly didn't get his fingers underneath the ball but who can blame Andrew Strauss for appealing. Terrible umpiring for not referring the decision.
