There is no way that Ganga could not have known if his left foot landed on the boundary cardboard.

So the clue to what happened is how emphatic Ganga was in insisting he had caught it clean and didnt step on the line.  If he was not particularly emphatic, its reasonable to assume that some contact likely happened.

ravi shastri, on sports center, had a valid point last night. he said that unless ganga had a camera tied to his arse the third umpire would never know if he had touched the line or not. similarly ganga couldnt know for sure either. therefore how can lara take "charge" of his team and vouch for them when infact nobody saw what happened. he could beleive that dhoni was out but without conclusive evidence it is akin to me beleiving in yetis and bigfoot.

this is exactly what i was saying in the other thread k-slice. who was being "vouched for"? unfortunately the other thread is too busy dealing with laws and sub-laws and such.

i think lara was vouching for ganga. the only problem is that ganga dint know for sure if he had touched theline or not. therefore even if darren ganga is the next mahatma *hi, when he doesnt know he doesnt know and in this case he dint know that he dint know or he knew that he dint know and therefore who gives a flying rats ass about what lara thought he knew ganga knew?

[arjun]

I don't know about the technicalities of it, but at the point of taking the catch, Ganga was clearly inside. If the catch is completed, does it matter if subsequently his left foot lands on the fence?

[k-slice]

arjun
yes it does matter. the fileder has to be in complete control of the ball and his body movements subsequent to  holding the ball. if he holds the ball and steps over the rope or as much as touches it it is a boundary. if he takes the catch, pops the ball in the air, steps outside the rope, comes back in and takes the catch it is clean. therefore irrespective of whether he caught it clean, if he touched the ropes it is a six.

[arjun]

Thanks for the info, k-slice.

applause for your initiative boss ... simulating the entire thing ....

but you knew what you were looking for .. i.e. expecting to find it .. and probably not focusing on judging a high catch also helped
