[QUOTE=dotti34;1272912]By the way, Taddy, please don’t take offence but I’m a bit confused as to how you feel about what happened. Is it that you consider rules are rules and there’s no bending them whatever the occasion, or do you agree with the general consensus on this thread so far that irrespective of what the rule book says it really was bad sportsmanship?

Dotti yes rules are rules, o/k we all tend to bend them to our own advantage now and again but in this case the wicket keeper was entirely within his rights under the laws of the game to do what he did and the batsman should have known that, just my opinion for what that is worth.
