The Ashes

I have to Congratulate the England Cricket team for finally subduing those bloody aussies and winning the ashes for the first time since 1989, this is an awesome effort. A draw in the final test was all that was needed to create the victory and they managed to bat on for long enough to be able to fight their way to the draw.

But they may have been saved by the grace of a New Zealander in the form of Umpire Billy Bowden who gave Pietersen not out when he first came to the crease, after the ball appeared to bounce off his arm and was caught in the slips, but Bowden proceded to give him not out and he went on to score 158 and was the deciding factor in the match.

But Congrats to England.

Comments:
If the ball came off his arm above the glove, it should be given not out.
 
No the rule states below the elbow and it was a very close run thing
