From the radio commentary I agreed with you. But when I saw the footage it looked more like obstructing the field to me. He set off on the wrong side of the pitch, running into Sidebottom who was trying to get to the ball.
There was an interview with Swan on the radio today and he said they weren't even aware that there was anything controversial about the appeal until after they left the field at the end of the match.
The other thing the interviewer wondered about was the effect of the Stanford winner takes all prize fund when that match is played. What will happen to sporting conduct and how will team mates react to a situation like the last ball of yesterday's game.
Collingwood's been banned for four one-day internationals, but nothing to do with that incident. It was a repeat offence within 12 months on slow over-rates.
