What's the problem, K ? Bancroft did nothing underhand. He thought it was a catch and appealed, which Marsh okayed.

Well, it's like he over-ruled his teammate (did he really have more idea than the alleged catcher?) who did not want to claim it... I'm not the one spewing, though; it's Maxwell et al. who are. I just think he's being a bit foolish, not for the first time. The interviews he and Smith gave were very foolish. M. Marsh seems lacking in wisdom, too. How such a person can be VC... Desperate times.

Yes. I didn't mean it's desperate times for anyone to be a mere BBL captain. They can make Bozo the Clown captain and I'm fine with it. I was referring to the Test team.

At the time the commentator said Hobson indicated he didn't know, and not that he didn't catch it.

Again, what's the prob with him over-ruling a team mate ? If, in fact, Hobson did call it as "I don't know", Bancroft and Marsh had every right to appeal.

Here's the video:

Hobson to my mind clearly indicated not out (palms down) straight away, rather than "I don't know" (shrug, palms up).

You could argue that he was plain wrong, of course. Maybe he was. It's not clear from the footage that Bancroft, as claimed, was the main disputer. Where was Marsh fielding? Who was that at mid-on?
