Well McCullum didn't actually do anything wrong so.....
very true Feddie,
A day after his batting exploits were being lauded, Brendon McCullum's cricketing ethics were being questioned after his controversial dismissal of Bangladesh captain Shakib Al Hasan.
Shakib (87) and Mahmudullah (115) had combined for 145 fighting runs in a Bangladesh record stand for the seventh wicket yesterday, batting the entire middle session and saving the visitors from the follow-on at Seddon Park.
Shakib was on the verge of a maiden test century when he feathered a Chris Martin delivery through to wicketkeeper McCullum.
Live, it appeared as though the ball had carried, but television replays suggested it bounced before nestling in McCullum's gloves.
Shakib stood his ground before eventually accepting debutant Australian umpire Rod Tucker's decision and did not try and overturn the verdict through the referral system.
Bangladesh coach Jamie Siddons looked furious while watching replays of the incident, but New Zealand captain Daniel Vettori defended his gloveman last night.
"I actually haven't seen it but, from our part, Brendon wasn't sure, and he asked me to ask the umpires," Vettori said.
"I went and asked the umpires and they were happy with it carrying. So we did everything we could on our part."
Vettori said Shakib did not question the catch on the field. "They could have used the referral."
Mahmudullah, who was at the non-striker's end, said he initially thought the catch had carried but that the mood was dark in the sheds.
"When I got into the dressing room, I heard that the catch wasn't there, so I feel very unhappy about Shakib," Mahmudullah said. "It might be that he got another century, for himself, but nonetheless, OK, that's part of the game."
