Jonathan Millmow says in the Dominion Post Brad Haddin plumbed new depths by disturbing the bails with his gloves for the "bowled" of Neil Broom in Sunday's one-day match.
Breaking the stumps when a batsman misses the ball is a stunt normally the domain of schoolyard bullies and Haddin would be wise not to watch a replay of his gamesmanship at the WACA. A good sport would have at the least asked for confirmation from the match officials.
Paul Holden writes in his Sideline Slogger blog that Haddin deserves to incur the wrath of the New Zealand cricketing public.
The former international umpire Darrell Hair, speaking in the Sydney Morning Herald, says the delivery should have been a no-ball.
