If you watch it back, they were either convinced it was out, or they were influencing the umpire into giving it out. I hope it was the former, but it was clearly grounded from what I saw and I just don't know how you can be convinced that was a clean catch.
Tbf I think he did think he caught it. I don’t think he actually did, but hard to tell when you are grabbing the ball low.
It’s a heat of the moment thing. There’s a lot riding on this game for both counties, so you’re going to make a big thing of appealing if there’s a chance. Leach and Vaughan both now have 9 close catchers, don’t think I’ve ever seen that before!
Annoying that Worcs' bowling "efforts" have handed Durham maximum batting points on a plate. I get that the game was always going to be a draw, but you can at least try.
The hardest of hard men. The story of his box splitting and trapping his balls still makes me wince and he shrugged it off and carried on smoking his pipe relaxed as anything.
