Fourth Test, Day two: A day of rain and incompetence


While I am aware that ranting about it on this blog does very little, I feel I need to get it out of my system.

How, at the top level of cricket, is an obvious nick behind not given out. Well this is what happened today in the 15th over when South African captain Graeme Smith was on 15 runs.

You could hear the edge on the replays. Well, I could but third umpire Daryl Harper couldn't because he forgot to turn his speaker on. What an absolute plonker.

And in true Graeme Smith fashion, he went on to make 105 before being dismissed in the day dogged by rain.

At the close South Africa have 8 wickets in hand and lead by 35. What do we need to win the series? 3 days of constant downpour, and that isn't impossible!
