Broad stamping
« on: January 12, 2010, 08:18:26 AM »

Broad stamping on the ball. I dont think he did anything wrong, especially as we weren't really in a match winning situation.

but south africa have some need to talk, as with 1.3 overs to go on day 5 of the last test, swann hit the ball to the boundary for four, it hit the rope, stopped, and then duminy stood in it with his spikes and rolled it back, now that i think could be seen as an attempt to win the match, as there was only 1 batsmen left, and SA were struggling.

The match situation is irrelevant, ball tampering is ball tampering, broad stopped a still moving ball with his boot nothing wrong, however he needs to learn that these things can be blown out of preportion, leave no chance for this to happen in future

eitherway what duminy did was the same as what broad did so SA have no reason to complain

According to the South African media, they never made a formal complaint, It has been interesting listening to the media over here, At home if England play badly they get criticized, over here no matter how poorly the South Africans play there is always an external factor never the fact the team have played badly!

If Broad's good enough to know which side of the ball he's scuffing with his stud he's playing the wrong sport.
