So he didn't withdraw it then?
eventually.
apparently it took his own players and then strauss and flower to help him 'change his mind'
He only withdrew it after pressure applied from Strauss and Flower. Forget all this we were thinking about it talk.

We don't really know what happened.
I'd like to think that Dhoni with tears in his eyes, went running into our dressing room, hugged Bell and said "You're safe son"
Lol Ginger what role do you think England's special undercover agent Duncan Fletcher played in changing there minds?
well, it is on cricinfo if you want to look.
three times the umpires asked dhoni if he wanted to withdraw the appeal and three times he declined.
what a hero!

As an Englishman I have no problems in Dhoni not withdrawing the appeal. It was a legal wicket and totally Bell's mistake.
The euphoria of taking a wicket must be so great that the thought of giving it back must seem like a stupid idea.
If Dhoni was thinking straight at the time he was probably thinking 'What was Bell doing, just walking out of his crease when the ball was still in alive'.
I am sure there wouldn't be any captain that would of withdrawn the wicket when the umpires asked and many who wouldn't of during the tea interval.
What we should be looking at is the lack of communication to the TB crowd to inform them that Bell was still batting over the speakers.

it's only 2/3 days old and new information has come to light so it's worth looking at it again.

This comes from Law 23 of cricket.
(b) The ball shall be considered to be dead when it is clear to the bowler’s end umpire that the fielding side and both batsmen at the wicket have ceased to regard it as in play.
Kumar's behaviour suggested that he believed the ball was dead, Bell clearly believed the ball was dead and the way umpire Rauf was handing the bowlers jumper back to him gave the impression that he believed the ball was dead.
It was in fact a comedy of errors that ended with the correct decision.
