No more reviews

Another excellent referral.

Third over FFS. If its going to take us 100+ overs to bowl a side out, we don't want to waste referrals, especially given the umpires out there and their effinity with ****e decisions.

Well, thats the other one out the way then. Not really got too many complaints with that being referred because it looked out to me first time as well, but what with the wasted one earlier, we have truly left ourselves up a creek without a paddle.

BTW, that last no-ball of Amjads was 92.8 mph so at least he's quick, even if if can't keep his front foot behind the line or bowl straight.

EDIT: No ball before last then.

 

[King Pietersen]

First no ball of this over read 92.9mph =O That last one was just a shocker though, read over 90mph, but was short and wide down the leg side. Not been massively impressed, good pace though.

Oh dear God.

Scott Boswell anyone?

Boycs found that Khan wide hilarious, laughing all over Aggers as he was trying to describe it.

Was going down to me at first sight, ball hit and you can two stumps = no chance.

and khan is just throwing the ball all over the place

The fella seems to think no one has played a bowler of that speed before, that if he just bowls fast he's gonna get a wicket.

Nah, bring back Darren Pattinson for mine.

With the kind of action that AK has, Id be very surprised if he manages to bowl 2 balls on the same spot. His head position at delivery point is facing down and its hardly surprising that he is having problems with his accuracy. I can see why England management rate him, because he bowls off cutters at a fairly decent pace, and I wouldnt be surprised if he can get the ball to reverse swing, but at the moment he looks more like Sajid Mahmood than anything else.

Well you can't blame a quick bowler for trying to bowl quick.

It's his confidence and the straightness of his arm that I'm worried about

On the carib site they are calling him a chucker.

Who's this Amraj Khan fella Tony Cozier keeps going on about?

 

[King Pietersen]

Monty =D Flighted a ball after going for a boundary, and picks up a wicket. Seems Monty's back and improved :P

 

[Scaly piscine]

Heh @ Boycott ripping into Devon Smith

Trademark straight ball dismissal for Panesar anyway.

 

[sammy2]

Will WI hype up panesar again ?

 

[pskov]

Boycott: "He played down the Picadilly and it was on the Bakerloo"

Also, "That's what Bell does occasionally." No holds barred here Geoffrey.

Boycs is reusing old lines then. He used the 'Bakerloo' line when describing Michael Vaughan getting bowled (I think it was) in the 2005 Ashes.

Pretty sure he's used it during this series a couple of times.
