<p>Most of the f-ups have a panicked feel to them, and you'll never hit anything if you rush. That's a communication thing as much as anything.

Even when Strauss got run out in a mix up with Trott the initial throw to the bowlers end missed the stumps, Clarke then picked it up and threw it to the keeper. It would have been appropriate if Clarke threw it over Klutzy's head. Tone G should change the motto "they never hit".</p>

<p>Trott did not run down the middle of the wicket he ran down the side of the wicket and the side where he could put himself between the ball and the wicket.</p>
<p>As it is Lee three poorly otherwise Trott would have been out.</p>
<p>Having been involved in an obstructing the field decision this was most definitely not one!</p>

The majority of the latter half of my *ahem* competitive cricket *coff* career was indoor cricket... and that's an oft-used tactic that never raised eyebrows.</p>
<p>But then again, so is Mankad. And sneaking a single when the bowler is walking back to his mark.

He might keep his wicket but he'll end up in a crippled heap one day. </p>
