Nielsen Defends Clarke and Invokes 'shock' and 'confusion'

I have heard of 'shock' and 'awe' but here is a new variation:

Australia coach Tim Nielsen believes "shock" and "confusion" caused
Michael Clarke to stand his ground after edging the ball to first slip during
the controversial Sydney Test.


Here is some more explanation from the same gent.

"To be honest, he'd been sitting around waiting for a couple
of hours, he was dead keen after missing out in the first innings to get some
runs and he was shocked and confused and he made the point that 'Once he
(Benson) gave me out I got off there',' Nielsen said."


Damn good of Clarke to 'get off once Benson gave him out'.

Its a shame really that Benson gave him out.
