I also think Botha should have been man of the series, but it seems bowlers don't get man of the match awards in one dayers. It was astounding for me when Morkel got the man of the match in the 4th game.
I'm can't recall one man of the match going to a bowler in this series, but I can't be bothered to confirm.
The commentators went very close to calling Botha a chucker last night, replaying his action and saying 'he's had problems in the past', and 'the problems have been with his action'. The replays seemed to focus on his elbow, with the ball off the screen for part of it. This will sound like sour grapes from my part (even though South Africa would have won without him), but we can't continue to allow bowlers that don't have correct actions in the game. It it continues as it does, then it will ruin the basis of bowling in the sport. (I see that a bowler was reported in a domestic cricket game in Oz, but it seems umpires are too scared to report players in international cricket).
Hopes gave a few looks to both umpires when he got out - strange, I thought, considering he was bowled. I just wonder if he was thinking 'how could he have bowled it that fast without chucking', and 'they should be calling a no ball'. Botha had just bowled a 107 km/h fast ball with no noticable difference in arm speed.
