ODI

I can’t help thinking England have been cheated slightly. Yesterday’s 2nd one day international with South Africa is officially a tie, with the scores level on 270 each after the 50 overs. But when Geraint Jones stumped Andrew Hall off Kabir Ali’s last ball of the match, it meant that South Africa were 8 wickets down, compared to England who lost only 5. That’s surely the cricket equivalent of goal difference?

I can feel a stern letter to the ICC brewing.
