Got this email from a mate playing and coaching in the UK ATM. Another mate of his was playing arguably the biggest game of his career on teh Oval for Leeds University against Surrey and he cops this stinker.....

A couple of issues here, 1. The Surrey captain (Butcher) needs a good size 11 up his ar5e for appealing in the first place, ******* disgraceful should get games for bringing the game into disrepute

2, WTF the non-striker not saying anything to the umpire and the striker just walking off???

3, ever known a keeper not to go up when their is a feint hope of a caught behind....

I actually asked my mate WTF is this a joke, this can't be real he has just walked off (Another bloke and I replayed the vision 4-5 times at work looking for where it had been doctored as we couldn't believe it). My mate emailed me back saying they are just so soft over there, old school prim and proper don't want to be seen disputing the umpire coming from the Uni....

**** being prim and proper when you cop a stinker like that got to ark up....

Almost impossible to believe!

My God, if i copped that decision i would more than ark up. I am amazed that the opposition didn't recall him. If i was the captain of the fielding side there is no way i would allow that batsman to be given out and if i was just a player i would be extremely embarrassed that my captain didn't recall him. So many things wrong with that.

I wonder what Andrew Strauss thinks of this decision.

He only missed it by 3 feet Tassie,whats the problem?

I reckon he hit it... I want to see snicko!!!!

un-bloody-believable

It's so bad I wonder if it's a fakey?? Something isn't right about it, why is no-one on the field objecting or showing any sign of shock? English stiff upper lip?

Sorry to be a bit sceptical but it is Youtube. Don't think it's been doctored but maybe it's been arranged to get some fame on the internet? A comment on the site says they think it is a Natwest ad - dunno.

Yep, has to be fake!

Seen it But don't believe it.

Thats taking match fixing to the extreme.

WTF !!!

tassie, i can relate mate, same as probably a few others on here that have played cricket in england (maddog for one)...they are very prim and proper ,dont like to say anything....they had a heart attack when they saw how i operated

fake, surely if given out to something like that the batsman would have to at least stare at the ump instead of virtually running straight off, maybe they were both on the take?
