Just found out this test series is under the "appeal rule" bout time England accepted it, no more dodgy Rudi Koertzen decisions.

There is a new appeal system for disputed dismissals starting in the the first Test. Here is a synopsis of how it will work:

* A trial system of referring disputed dismissals is being used in the series, the first time England have taken part.

* The trial method, approved by the ICC, has previously allowed teams to make three unsuccessful referrals per innings but that number has been reduced to two to save time and discourage the art of trying it on.

* Either side can ask for the television umpire to review a decision. The fielding captain might think an appeal was wrongly rejected, a batsman that he has been unfairly given out.

I dunno if it's been mentioned. But Hair-gate has now been awarded an England win again.
