Colly play a ball with his bat when its going 3ft over the wicket ? Leaving isn't as easy as you make it sound when it's heading for your throat at 90mph - especially on a pitch with variable bounce. You're talking split seconds to make a decision. He didn't play it well but it's unfair to make out it was easy to just leave it.

I read somewhere that the pace the batters face mean they have 1.5 seconds to react to it.

Way less than that. 0.3 seconds for a 90mph bowler. Apparently the real top class players pick the line and lengthof the ball as it leaves the bowlers hand.

I would like to think the wicket is being secretly watered as we speak.  Bit of sunshine on a drying wicket and the ball will swing and be a spin bowlers dream     The wife was going away for a girly weekend.
