Rutherford was given out to a catch behind. The whole Australian team appealed
except for Zoehrer who was still on the ground with his back to the umpire. The
first thing he did when he got up was to indicate that he had NOT caught the
ball cleanly and Rutherford was recalled. I heard that he was dropped because
of his behaviour in one of the Sharjaz (sp?) tournaments but I don't know what
he did. BTW the wicketkeeper who replaced him, Dyer, was not at all adverse to
claiming catches he dropped - ask Andrew Jones.
> abominable.
a catch in a one-day match with his foot firmly planted on the boundary rope
and him looking down to see where his feet were. When he was asked he claimed
to be inside the rope.
