It capped a disruptive twenty four hours for Paul Collingwood , when he annoyed the New Zealanders by not calling back an injured Elliot who was run out after colliding with Ryan Sidebottom.

After the demonstration of negative expression from different sections of the crowd, he admitted that he was wrong. His apologize was accepted by New Zealand captain Daniel Vetton. Journalists didn’t show mercy on that incident and said that Collingwood’s reputation is placed under suspicion for ever.

In the newspapers particularly the sun said that it is “a disgraceful and inexplicable decision". Whereas Daily Mail said that this is the worst incident in which captain of any team is involved since the incident of row between Mike Gattings and Pakistan umpire Shakoor Rana in 1987.

Meanwhile New Zealand’s cricket players carried on their activities as usual after winning that match. Jacob Oram, Scott Styris, Mark Gillespie and Tim Southee played tennis in the evening in the Wimbledon and passed good time with compatriot Marina Erakovic after this second win.

Gillespie was reported to say; "We can beat it till it's completely dead but it's over, it's happened. There's no point even worrying about it,"

He also said; "We know it's all over the papers and people are talking about it. But who cares, it happened, we won, move on." Gillespie succeeded in playing his role in winning the match when he faced 4 dot balls of Lune Wright’s fiftieth over, and then he and Kyle Mills scrambled two run to win off the last ball when Graeme Swann missed the ball in stumps.

He said; "At the end of the day it was just lucky. I was absolutely crapping myself before I went out there so it was a good feeling to pull it off." "It was tough because I was trying to prepare to bat and guys weren't happy, and even as I was padding up I saw the replay for the first time and I found myself getting quite angry."
