I am an Indian and want to tell it was not Shoaib Akhtar's mistake... he was there just to collect the ball.

If it was some other team than Pakistan.... this would not have been a controvery... that is sad mentality

what the hell is the controversy with the first one? inzy was just a lazy prick and he was against the rules clearly you cant just put your bat in the way of a fielding move. not against the spirit, it was a genuine appeal and dismissal to a retard who should know better.

new zealand will always win the spirit of the game award..............because there new zealand and no one really gives a shit hey

can i just say that that sydney test match is probably the best test match ive ever seen, laughable umpireing decisions that always seemed to happen just when one team was getting on top, epic finish with clarke getting 3 wickets in an over and then kumble acting like a complete woman in the press confernce afterwards...........

@Jourdydogyella well he might be a prick but how about someone throws that ball straight at you full speed aiming for your nuts what would u do take it or protect it. i think he did the right thing because if he didn't hit it with the bat it wouldn't be out as the ball would hit him.

did anyone notice the dude at 0:18 that came in the background and waved?

@mcnesta80 sorry, can't have been the exact time...must've been after his apology.

@yaanni See how my original comment was weeks ago, during the test, at the exact time the clarke incident happened. I like to surf cricket videos and watch cricket at the same time. It's tragic, I know. Anyway, that's the context.

@mcnesta80

Are you on drugs or what? This video has no footage of any Clarke anywhere. Get your eyes tested. And brain too.

[mcnesta80]

@yaanni In the context that the appeal was also for obstructing the field. It was turned down as Clarke was clearly stretching for his crease when the ball hit the bat....I mean wtf, appealling for that?? If I'd heard an appeal after stretching for my crease, I'd look for overthrows on instinct I reckon.

Hello !!! What context are you making these comments in?

Eventhough I am a hard-bred Indian, a die-hard fan of Sachin, the God of cricket, the Sachin run-out..... I think it was right! No way Akthar did that on purpose, he had no clue who was behind... Sachin was the only way who could see where he was going... Wanting to run in a straight line... Well... All in the past but no finger pointing required.
