Broad is not the only "cheat" to have stood his ground after obviously hitting the ball.. But a cheating pattern is emerging with that guy...he is becoming a bit of a devious sleezy cricketer.. He was also the player who decided to take off his boot and pull the innersole out , then readjust it and proceed to slowly re tie his laces 2 minutes before the belated luncheon break , in order to deliberately waste time when Australia was on an obvious roll, being only 20 runs off winning the game at that stage.. (the weak umpires did nothing to stop this unsportsmanlike act and should be condemned) The luncheon break most assuredly allowed England's no. 1 strike bowler, James Anderson to rest up during the 40 minute lunch interval as he was almost completely " spent" (and cramping) at that vital time in the game.. Result.... out comes Anderson after lunch , refreshed and ready to go again. He then proceeded to take the wicket of Haddin compliments of Hawk eye. I would suggest they dispense with human umpires in future and play matches with electronic only decision makers. All decisions could then be given by the "turd" umpire.. Doesn't matter how long it may take to confirm a no ball etc as the time wasted could not be longer than Broad's boot changing episode from yesterday....
