Really? So he should have said he didn't take the catch fair and square? Surely it's down to the umpires to decide? How does that stack up against Stuart Broad's "I never walk. Why would I?" approach? Got booed by the crowd anyway.
To be honest, the Lords crowd have been a bit embarrassing throughout this match. Booed Smith both times he came out to bat. Booed Starc and Lyon when they weren't taking singles.
Not a catch for me. You haven't got control of the ball if you need it to support you from hitting the deck.
Not disputing that. Calling Starc a cheating bastard is out of order.
It's not thought is it? He's still moving and therefore not in control, he knows hes grounded the ball and gets up celebrating. He knows the rules, if he had of slid into the boundary it would have been runs. To get up and claim a catch is really poor.
