a little practice is welcomed at any timeGuess not, seems a bit silly to come back tomorrow for just 27 runs, oh well.
Indeed but Shahadat is getting the ball to move pretty late and with the light being not exceptional, any incoming batsman may have some difficulty.Guess not, seems a bit silly to come back tomorrow for just 27 runs, oh well.
South Africa are now making it a tradition to start test series poorly and then finish on a high, so Bangladesh by that logic should be in for a hiding.Watch some South African bowler get a double ton in the next match .
Bucknor's had a test match to forget but it has also given poor decisions to both sides.37.4 Mohammad Rafique to Kallis, no run, superb delivery, spin and bounce.... the ball kicks off a good length outside off, Kallis gets forward and takes a big edge which lobs off Rahim and goes straight into the hands of first slip, they all know they've got him but Bucknor shakes his head. It was hard to tell on normal speed, but replays confirmed an edge
Bucknor quit please, 3 really bad decisions vs Bangladesh Today ... not saying it would change the result but yoyu never know
That blows my mind, to be honest, that professional cricketing staff can still think a legally bowled ball which bounces more than once could be called no-ball.Not really, he didn’t know the rules and by the looks of it, neither did any of the South African coaching staff.
Poor form. Claiming ignorance of the rule, fine and dandy. It's surprising but not unjustified. Complaining about it is just whining because he got out.AB
“I wasn’t a hundred per cent sure and I wasn’t aware of the rules until Steve Bucknor explained it to me.
I must admit I thought I can’t get out to this ball. I actually moved back a bit in my crease to make sure it did bounce twice.
I was in control and I had batted really well. But I thought I was a bit unlucky, I’ve never seen anything like it before. I was hoping someone would call no-ball, I was waiting for someone to put their arm out. I think it’s a bit unfair that a bowler can get a wicket with a ball that bounces twice.”
I was surprised by that decision as well but how many times do you see a player from the losing side pick up the MOTM award?I'm slightly angry that Kallis got MoTM.
Kallis fails in both innings making 17 and 5 and takes 5/30 with 4 of the wickets being tail enders, while Hossain makes 0* and 1* (almost as good as Kallis scores) and 6/27 and 3/70.
So basically Shahadat Hossain was robbed.
Love it. I'll bookmark that link for the next time some Afridi-loving imbecile tries to tell me Kallis isn't a match-winner.I was surprised by that decision as well but how many times do you see a player from the losing side pick up the MOTM award?
Incidentally that accolade took Kallis clear in the most MOTM awards for a player.
