Wickman discovers Cricinfo gem
"I thought Stephen Outerbridge was unlucky as he didn't play at the ball when the umpire gave him out caught behind. I also thought my lbw was a little suspect, but that's no excuse."
What sounds remarkably like excuses from Bermuda captain Irving Romaine after his side's 43-run loss to Uganda. Bermuda receive millions of dollars of funding each year while Uganda have to launch appeals for equipment
Oh dear, poor Stephen Outerbridge. Here he is getting out have not played at the ball. That would make up for the times he didn't get out middling it. What goes around, comes around for cheats.

This Outerbridge seems to have gone down in folklore. I was in the slips and didnt hear the snick. Heehee. Ol....ONE EAR MattyD.
I heard the one he leathered straight donw Fordy's gullet at point. 1, why didnt he catch it? 2, why was fordy at point!
It wasn't a snick. He gloved it down the leg side from a Webbo bouncer. Pouched by Clark. How was that? Oppo umpire (who had already turned down a big edge off the fat right handed opener who later said "I might have nicked it") refused this one as well.
