What more can you say?
Dummy of the day
Sometimes, fielders will resort to all sorts of knavish tricks to try
and buy a run-out. More often than not, they end up looking rather
silly in the process. Take Andrew Strauss's cunning plan, shortly after
tea, with South Africa rumbling along on 146 for 0, and looking utterly
invincible. Smith clipped Panesar off his toes through midwicket, where
Pietersen was lurking in the deep to cut it off. Strauss, however, took
off on a swallow dive to give the impression he'd pulled off a miracle
stop, but the only man he managed to fool was his own team-mate.
Pietersen abandoned his own pursuit, and the ball dribbled over the
ropes for four.
