Finn gets smith out caught behind but hits the stumps on his run up so it's a dead ball.
Not the first time he's done it.
Muppet.
England really don't want to be pissing about with Smith.
Strauss argued the 'dead ball' decision to the umpire by saying 'it's going to happen every over'...
Learn the rules, you dick. The umpire has said it can't happen so tell Finn to sort it out.
Hitting the stumps in a run up happens every over?

It has happened with Finn 2 or 3 times already and, yeah, according to Botham he does it all the time. Interesting that it hasn't happened since the 'wicket' though...Hitting the stumps in a run up happens every over?
That is such a stupid argument. Its like two stone wall penalty shouts being turned down and then you arguing the third one should be turned down for consistency.
The umpire wasn't sure Smith was distracted by it until he told the umpire. The right call was made, Naseer, Botham - everyone agrees.
Finn needs to sort his life out, it's not like he's Patel blubbering his way to the crease.
SA 60-0
Petersen has his 50 already
Smith only on 10
