I didn’t see it, but I agree that does seem excessive.They didn't appeal, they ran off in celebration. Huge difference. And if it wasn't clear either way, no way should they be doing that.

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.I didn’t see it, but I agree that does seem excessive.
You already live in the outer darkness!I’ve been out all afternoon so I didn’t see the catching controversy. Clearly it’s the worst thing ever to happen in world history and the county of Somerset and all its inhabitants needs to be banished to the outer darkness.

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.I believe you’re thinking of Gloucestershire!
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.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.
You obviously never saw Brian Close play!I would crack it hard at the close fielder. Soon cut this nonsense out![]()
10 bowlers used - don't think I've seen that before in CC.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.You obviously never saw Brian Close play!
Nominative determinism!You obviously never saw Brian Close play!
Why would he do anything else?Abbott taking his time walking out!
