I didn't see it, too busy typing, but it is one of those decisions that turn games, England got a bit lucky there maybe. But still, England flipping escaped the death penalty still attached to the electric chair. I am pretty happy, there will be drunked dances in Northants pubs tonight
Still, what about Powar's apparent "pitch tampering"? I know the game is over, and it probably had no effect on the pitch but he ran down delibratly on many occasions and even got warned. i'm sorry, but that isn't in the spirit of the game to me and I'm not happy about it.
