Paul Collingwood did the right thing in the match today when he walked before the umpire gave him out when he edged the ball and thats how it should be. I think that most of the time cricketers know when they have edged a shot and reading between the lines of Hussey's interview he knew he edged it, therefore in my opinion cheated.

Sad to have to say it but you are wrong. There is nothing at all in the rules of cricket that says "you must walk" so Hussey was guilty of bad sportsmanship and nothing more. Cheating is breaking the rules, something he did not do. Lets be honest, this is just straw clutching, we are crap ATM and did not deserve to win, simple as that.
