It's NOT the ICC. It's because teams play more games than required by the ICC. It's your board that schedules five and seven match ODI series, not the ICC.

I am sure it is his respectable peak .Thats it for him tbh !!!!!Anyone else think that the next Test might be Inzi's last? He says he still wants to go on playing, but there's been talk of him retiring after the WC. Even if he stays, I think there's a strong possibility that he would retire from Tests and just play ODI's. I hope he doesn't retire. Can't even imagine the Pakistan middle order without the big guy!

Yea. He has bowled around 130, about the same as McGrath. Though I think he used to bowl around 135, and maybe with some more matches he can work back up there. He's already a real handful.

To be fair, most of Richard's theories get laughs, because it's funny anyone actually believes in them.

At his age, McGrath was 135-140 and bowled 130 and above until very recently - plus got a lot more bounce because of height and action

Asif is around 6'4-6'5 as well, so he gets decent bounce though not quite as much as McGrath.
And maybe I am wrong but I never remember McGrath bowling 140.

Mid/High 130s all his career with occasional ball at 140 - it's only been in the last couple of years that his pace has dropped a bit

I am not trying to be overdramatic, but sides going into a test match with anything less than their best XI because of close proximity to an ODI tournament makes me want to puke.

arthur just giving bull**** about why nel was dropped
nel likes to get into other batsmens heads,
while this ploy has failed against pakistan and near the end of 2nd test match when akmal hit a backfoot 4 off him down the ground you could see he was about to burst into tears

Inzi saying that they are thinking about changes at the top of the order. What does everyone think the team will look like tomorrow?

Maybe Yasir Hameed to open, Hafeez to come one down???? thats a probability.

its not about hitting him for four
its about letting your batting do the talking
akmal didnt have to start dancing around to shut him up like sreesanth which he failed to do anyway

just hitting him for a 6 would have done the job,
but also making a fool out of yourself just tilts the thing back in nels favour,
i bet all the SA players were laughing their heads off inside

Hmm yeah, I am sure Sreesanth wasn't laughing either, especially after giving Nel a taste of his own medicine...
