Same with Rashid Latif when he muddled a catch

What?? Cheating?? please do your wordings correct.
Example of cheating: "Fielder dropping a catch but still claiming that."

That was not cheating. That was part of play. Appeal was made and with clear evidence, umpire gave that out. There was no hiding like dropping a catch but still claiming that to umpire and getting the decision.

10.2	Mashrafe Mortaza to Ontong, OUT, what a mess-up! Ontong gets hit on the thigh pad and Amla sets off, gets sent back by Ontong, Amla slips and then is run into by the bowler, he stumbles and never had a chance to get back.

As cricinfo says, Amla slipped Before Mash run into him. So why commi blame on BD cricket spirit?

That out is definitely ethically wrong; but not cheating. Cheating is when you are both legally and ethically wrong.
But in professional world there is no place for ethically right. If Rafiq was not so generous we could have our first test win way back in 2003

I am sure if it was any other team they would have not called the person back.

11.5 Shakib Al Hasan to Kallis, 1 run, worked to short 45, quick single nearly leading to a run out, but the third umpire calls it as not out.

Wats this 45 means ?
