Could NOT agree with you more, Pule from Jhb! As for Graeme Smith...YOU BEAUTY. You make me proud to be a South African right now.

Flintoff didn't do good to himself.For his caliber, you gotta be a better sportsman.It was clearly a must win situation and England showed that they just want to win no matter what. If it was some other visiting team doing the same to them, you would have seen more of it in the news.

Fawad, Sydney, Australia

Steyn and Morkel must be excited with the fact that beamers are now allowed in cricket again.

Expect Flintoff to get a great welcome next time he pads up ....

Reg Ramsay, Cape Town, South Africa

why would a south african side that is clearly
superior complain about the sightscreen if there was not a problem.
surely the matter should have been investigated
and if necessary attended to.

Through any day the light might change and the background might look different for the batsman. Not a single cricket playing nation or ground in the world (except the English) will not immediately do something about the batsman's complaint.

Dave,

Does the word sarcasm mean anything to you? Anyone who has even a faint understanding of cricket should be able to detect my earlier comments as pure sarcasm and an indictment to what I think was disgraceful behaviour by M. Vaughn (denying a more than reasonable request by SA).

Radu, Bucharest, Romania

England good sports? My foot.
And the commentators went on and on about the bad decisions just because they went against the English. Alim Daar is a great umpire.
Trying to win at any cost!! Flintoff aimed well but in the end the Saffres prevailed because they played the game in the right spirit.

Peter Casie Chetty, Liverpool, United Kingdom

Ruda, do you even know wht your saying!!! its got nothing to do wih how skilled you are, how are you going to see a dark ball moving at 80miles + wih a dark back round and not being able to se it. This would never have happened at a ground in OZ, India, Sa or any other test playing nation

Dave, London,

Mckenzie and Boucher also had the same problems. Vaughan and the umpires decision was a ridiculuos response to a reasonable request. Clearly flintoff was the only bowler finding this blindspot and it was highly improbable that Kallis, Boucher and Mckenzie were bamboozled by Flintoffs Brilliance

Tichatonga Pfupajena, London, England

Bad sportsmanship by England in the eyes of us Saffers – even the beamers to AB de Villiers. But anyway, job done, series won... well done boys!

Chris, JHB, South Africa

Did anyone notice the bad sportsmanship displayed by Ambrose in trying to sneak a stumping . How cute can you get?.
Would Vaughn have called Mackenzie back . somehow given the History in this regard I doubt it!

Han, Cape Town, SA

Hey, I have an idea! Why do we not do away with sightscreens? Really skilled batsman should still be able to pick up the ball, at least some of the time. Now this would be a real test of skill and courage. I may also make for good entertaiment.

Radu, Bucharest, Romania

Playing on his mind? He didn't have to do anything of the sort, he had to pitch the ball full and then Kallis couldn't see it. Normally the ball that got Kallis in the second innings would be considered a bad ball. It was not good bowling that beat Kallis it was bad sightscreen and bad sportsmanship

Mike, Auckalnd,

It would have been sporting og the England captain to allow the sightscreen to be covered, but it just shows the level of desperation in that team.

The problem with England is that for them everything is about the Ashes, forgeting what an average team they are!

Pule T, Johannesburg, South Africa

Pure brilliance from Freddie, playing on Kallis's mind. Almost passed out laughing when Old Jacques threw a wobbly. Frastrated at being out done and made to look a little daft.
Same for both sides, and they won!!

Ollie, Dubai,

It is a sign of how desperate the English were that they had to revert to bowling full tosses out of dark windows. It's almost like appealing for run outs after the batsman has been obstructed by the bowler :)
By the way, the ball that got Kallis was not a short ball, but a full bunger.

Tobie, London,

Its A shame he did not deliver more balls like it ? England may have won!

Bill Williams, Bagnoles, France

Oh, don't worry ... he did pick up his toys ... alongside the trophy.

Rich E, Durban, SA

Mickey Arthur needs to pick up the toys that he has thrown out of his pram.
