I'm used to heartbreaking losses like this one with the Australian team. In fact, as I said, I just can't remember us winning a close game. We ALWAYS lose them.

Those old enough will remember a VERY similar scenario back in about '92 when the West Indies were still number 1 and we were trying to take that ranking away from them. We had a lowish total to win in Adelaide, but we collapsed. It was up to Tim May and Craig McDermott who put on a great last wicket partnership and they took us to 2 runs from victory. Then, Craig McDermott was given out caught behind, when to this day, I still believe the ball came off his helmet, not the bat.

Well, the same thing has happened here. The ball that dismissed Kasprowicz certainly hit him on the glove, but that glove wasn't holding the bat at the time and as such, he was technically not out. Don't really blame the umpire in either case as they both looked out and they were put under immense pressure from the fielding team on both occasions.
