Playing control team of 2nd Test between S Africa & Pak admits mistake

The playing control team in charge of the second Test between South Africa and Pakistan in Cape Town has admitted that a mistake had been made when Jacques Kallis was given out. Kallis was given out caught at short leg off spinner Saeed Ajmal by umpire Steve Davis but the batsman immediately sought a review. Agencies report that the sequence of events after that was not clear but after numerous replays, which showed the ball had not touched Kallis' bat, the star home batsman was given out leg before wicket. The International Cricket Council issued a statement from Dubai acknowledging that "an honest error" had been made.
