Well done aussie.... too classy...

the LBW was good for a giggle though... you deadset gotta feel sorry for Elliot... Cumming drops Hussey off his bowling... then just to rub it in he gets that shocker of an LBW... :lol:

On that run-out, I thought it was Haddin`s fault, he had clear view of where the ball went and what the fielder was doing, he had to see there was no run, no matter what Hussey was calling.

will Elliot get cited for swearing at the umpire?? it sounded pretty bloody loud...

What did he say? Anyway have the Kiwis also donated their match fees to the bushfire appeal? Well if they have and the match referee wants to fine Grant Elliott then he can turn around and say you want my match fee then go pinch some of the supplies from the Red Cross.

yah.... it was duss's call cos the shot was behind square, so it becomes non-strikers call. (duss was at non-strikers end)

i reckon as soon as the umpire sees the replay he might let it slide... ;-)

Nah that might mean swallowing pride...

Good win to the Aussies. We never made enough, and the sitter that Cumming dropped pretty much made sure of it.

You`re contradicting yourself. The shot was played by Hussey, way behind square, Haddin was the non-striker. Hussey had no idea what was going on, Haddin had clear view of things. It was his call, he had to overrule Hussey`s uneducated calling.

Wrong. Hussey was running to the danger end, it was entirely up to him whether he wanted to take the 2nd or not. He turned blind, sprinted halfway up the pitch, then called 'No' and left Haddin stranded. Clearly, clearly Hussey's fault. Haddin simply turned and took a few steps down the pitch when he saw Hussey careering at him, obviously with the intent of running a 2nd.

Just because Hussey calls for the second, Haddin was the one who actually saw that there was no second run there. I`m not saying Hussey`s not to blame, but Haddin had to refuse the second run, cos he saw the fielder.

They'd probably make Elliot pay the equivalent of the portion (so if he was fined 25% of his match fee, it comes out of his own pocket and not the money donated already).
