Agreed, he definitely gloved it. You could see an indentation on the glove when the ball brushed it.[Quattro];5778655 said:

Do you think Smith should have walked?
I think he should still play Twenty20s... hes only in the side coz Amir and Asif are out...
Still bowled the fastest ball in the world.

No this is a profesional era, only the silly batsmen walk. Umpires are there to make the decisions no need to make it for them.
On the one angle yes but on another it looked like it missed the glove. So like I said it was inconclusive. So not enough evidence to overturn the decision. Without hotspot these edges/glove decision will always be controversial because it will not be clear.
Hash walks and I wouldn't call him silly. it proves he is a true gentleman in the game.
Now thats a stupid reply.
I would have thought it was quite possible that Smith didnt feel it.

Hope the Windies knock the English out today...
You guys go and ask a lot of the great players. They feel you shouldn't walk. Simple because umpires give you out when you aren't out , so by not walking when are out you are making up for the other occasions.
People can disagree if they want but I don't like seeing batsmen walk. Its not cheating imho. Batsmen are there to bat till the umpires gives him out.

I would, he and gillchrist could have much more runs if they didn't walk. There is a reason why the walking batsmen is the exception...
Breaking news! Paul the Octopus in a surprise message from the great beyond has predicted a hammering of the Poms in today's epic encounter with the Windies.
England have won the toss and decided to bat first.

AJ Strauss*, MJ Prior†, IJL Trott, IR Bell, EJG Morgan, RS Bopara, LJ Wright, TT Bresnan, GP Swann, JC Tredwell, CT Tremlett
CH Gayle, DS Smith, DM Bravo, RR Sarwan, KA Pollard, DC Thomas†, DJG Sammy*, AD Russell, SJ Benn, D Bishoo, KAJ Roach

Does anyone know if SABC is televising the Eng vs. W/I game at all? Please don't tell me they didn't buy rights to this game.
Why show the SA/IRE highlights when there is such an important game on at the moment

They're too cheap. There's a few streams on http://www.webcric.com.

As many have said before and many will say in years to come... SABC = Epic Fail
It's on ESPN Cricinfo. Good commentary, good stats, god banter.
