  • Legality of the Nottingham Test Ian Bell‟S Controversial Run Out
    Legality of the Nottingham Test Ian Bell‟s controversial run out dismissal on the third day of the Nottingham test which was subsequently revoked will be remembered in years to come more than the drubbing Indian team received at the hands of his team. It has divided right in the middle the whole cricketing fraternity on the issue of “spirit of cricket”. Did Dhoni & co. do the correct thing by withdrawing the appeal? Were Strauss and Flower right in approaching the Indian captain to persuade him to do the same? Whether what happened was morally correct or not has been discussed by everyone from the television commentators, cricketing icons to the school going kids in the streets of Mumbai. Some may even have discussed the role of umpires in this whole incident. But I have serious doubts over the legality of the cricket that was played subsequent to this event in that test match. This is what the ICC law 27.8 says about the withdrawal of an appeal: “The captain of the fielding side may withdraw an appeal only if he obtains the consent of the umpire within whose jurisdiction the appeal falls. He must do so before the outgoing batsman has left the field of play. If such consent is given, the umpire concerned shall, if applicable, revoke his decision and recall the batsman.” The first clause in this law is very clear. The withdrawal of the appeal was done with the consent of the umpires Asad Rauf and Marais Erasmus, which is certainly in accordance with the law.

Smith went on to Proteas level series in final Test versus England Africa bat again. In the first hour of play, England doubled its score to 96 but lost the wicket of Kevin Pietersen. The South African- born Pietersen had been subdued in moving from his overnight score of 9 to 12 before being caught behind driving at a wide ball from debutant paceman Wayne Parnell in the ninth over of the day. Pietersen’s departure brought together Collingwood and Ian Bell, who together had put on a match-saving stand in the third Test at Newlands. But Bell on 5 could not keep a lifting ball from Morkel down and it flew to Jacques Kallis at second slip. England was in trouble on 103-5.

However, with Steyn set to return to the fold after his hamstring injury, the only other candidate to make way is the venerable Makhaya Ntini, and that – for innumerable different reasons – just isn’t going to happen. At least with Kallis expected to play a more rounded all-round role, South Africa will be armed with an extra bowling option. South Africa: (probable) 1 Graeme Smith (capt), 2 Ashwell Prince, 3 Hashim Amla, 4 Jacques Kallis, 5 AB de Villiers, 6 JP Duminy, 7 Mark Boucher (wk), 8 Paul Harris, 9 Morne Morkel, 10 Dale Steyn, 11 Makhaya Ntini.
