Inzi is claiming that although he should have been given out there are some laws of the game that I against the spirt of the game!! How does that work, the laws are there and have been for years!! Surely he should know that hitting the ball when a run out attempt is being made is also "against the spirit" of the game.

He also calims they are not explained enough

Surley it is the players responsibilty to be aware of the rules, and you would have thought that a player with 13 years Test experince, 107 Test Caps, 352 ODI Caps and currently cpatianing his side, would know the rules!!

From these comments I guess Bob Woolmer agrees with Inzi, that although the decsion was correct, it was not right
