8th Over

Has the England captain has a slice of luck there? He tries to duck a Darren Powell bouncer but cannot get out of the way in time and the ball balloons to third slip. There is a huge appeal and Powell stands dramatically only yards from Strauss, but, crucially Rudi Kurtzen remains unmoved.
My colleague Dan, who is in the office with me, immediately shouts ‘glove, that was off the glove, and you know what, he is probably right, replays suggest that the ball probably brushed the glove before striking Strauss’s shoulder.
