some of plumb LBW not given.

umpiring in this match was low standard.
in fact collingwood was also plumb LBW, but not given.
both sides benefited, so that way it was consistent.

Was not there any review appeal for the decision as its happening now in India - Srilanka Series ? Can anyone have any idea about it in that series ?

i think both their capt n their board decided not to try this referrral system in the series. before the start of series, playing conditions hv to b worked out to accept the new system.

Well played Smith!!!!!!!

Extremely good innings by Graeme Smith yesterday. He was the difference between both the sides yesterday. Great display of grit and determination. Although he was given a reprieve by the umpire when he was in fact out of Monty's bowling, he capitalized on it very well. It has to go down as one of the best innings ever by any captain in Tests!!!!!!!

Solid innings
by Akshaya Nayak on Aug 03, 2008 07:17 AM

The captaincy show by South Africa Captain is really praise worthy, why not he solidifies his innings from the beginning and make his team to taste the victory. After Ricky & Mahela, he is Captain who by himself can take his team singlehandedly to victory. South Africa after Hansie got him at the right time. However Prince is also another option for them. Best wishes to them for their cherished victory.

true captain's innings

Smith played a fantastic innings to guide his team to victory. 93/4 is a very dangerous position and if SA lost this they would have been kicking themselves.
