I mean the dropped catch by trott to let off Kohli. The Englishman tried to catch the edge and dropped it after fumbling. But when he claimed a catch and subsequent replays showed it was a false claim the whole world knew Trott was trying to cheat. But No apolgies from the Englisg camp? The Indian media too is silent about this Imagine if the same claim had been made by an Asian player against an English player? All hell would have broken loose What do you have to say about the English and the whining ways?

yes Sashank. No one reported, the Indian media did not create aruckus so the Australians gave it a quiet burial. The media nad the team management should be alert to such things, don't you think?

I thought it was both irresponsible and foolish. Irresponsible because he always knew he had dropped it and still went ahead and made the claim. On the other hand given the technology in use these days it was a foolish attempt at that. It hardly took one replay from the back camera to clearly show that he had grassed it. Cheers! Ram

The same Trott, when he nicked one to the keeper in the second innings was showing his dissapointment. The replay showed a clear edge.
