I haven’t seen the video, but I think batsman do it all the time.. same with fielders who claim sharp catch while tv replay show they might have grassed it…

International Cricket is in rarified air when it comes to officiating. Any sort of dissent is always punished with a fine or a ban depending on how vehement the incident is. Having an independent match referee helps ensure that all incidents are checked over.

Watling out injured for NZ too, theyve also rested half their side ahead of the india game it seems (no Boult, De Grandhomme, Jamieson, Santner)
England gone in with 4 seamers, no spinner and a pretty long looking tail!

Is 'The Edge' one of the better cricket related movies out there?
Watched part of it with my son last evening. He is having a bit of a crisis.
Last year he was one of the best batsman, who could also bowl medium pace. This year, he seems to have become a medium/fast bowler with a mean inswinger who can also bat. has lost his batting confidence. After one of the county age group games where he scored a mighty one, he was crying in the car. A bit of digging conversations later, he said that the club/school boys banter is that he is only in squad for his bowling and he cant be a batsman or a fielder. Hence he has been fielding in the deep. So he now thinks he cannot bat.
There is always a fine line between banter & bullying inside a locker room and currently no plans to get involved in. So just talking to him about how to create his 'bubble'. One of the things that i wanted to do was watch the edge with him. We havent yet got to the part where the folks - monty, KP et al start talking about their mental issues. but looking fwd to it
either way, he seems to have taken something on. had a great inning this weekend. Opened for his club at the Cup match. Hit 28 in 3 overs and retired... nothing to prove.

NZ's day today. Broad has been good today, Jimmy average, Wood and Stone a bit naff. Our only spinner, Root, on show not great either.

bit of luck next test we'll pick both a spinner and a keeper
Pick a spinner to keep wicket and pick a keeper to be a spinner? ?
