Doubt if England would have reprieved an opposition batsman had one of them done something like this.
Just got an email about this from a friend in NZ reminding me of the Sidebottom/Elliot run out a few years back - we've been beneficiaries a couple of times in recent years now, Vettori sparing Collingwood a couple of years ago and now this, he feels it is undeserved!
Brilliant day today, think it was important for us to cash in here (which we should now do) as India could be a very different proposition if Zaheer and Sehwag are back for the final two tests.
Although it has seemingly become the norm for people to trash the opposition you are beating when it comes to sport nowadays I do think we really ought to appreciate what a good team we have at the moment rather than decry who we are playing against, I'm trying to make the most of it given the tripe we saw for so many years (and no doubt will again one day!), I really hope we can get that number 1 spot and the 2013 Test Championship isn't too far away - you'd imagine most of this side should still be around to have a crack at that.
