Not allowing Greame Smith a runner was seriously bad form, old chap.
How an opposing captain is allowed to be such an ass, not allowing help for a player in obvious distress is something that seriously should be looked at by the ICC. The umpires should be allowed to overrule.
Jeez, it's not my fault Andrew doesn't have a clue what an innings of such magnitude takes out of a player. Was he merely jealous? Probably.
It cost SA a place in the next round of the competition, but that at least is par for the course these past 17 years - it doesn't even bother us anymore...
People will forget SA choking yet again, but the stink of bad sportsmanship will hang around Mr. Strauss for years.
