*Official* Pakistan in Australia

[Burgey]

They were saying the pitch is tacky. Should quicken up tomorrow, Johnson would be nasty to face.

Dougy.

Dougeh.

 

[Jono]

Hmmm, Asif concentrate on your bowling man. Don't start clapping and ****.

Mind you, North does look hopeless atm. But he's gotta grind it out.

 

[stephen]

Haha, yeah right.

You don't have to believe me but I thought it was going wide of the stumps.

 

[Redbacks]

Precam to explode over hawkeye quite soon

Broad FTW!

 

[thierry henry]

wow

I reckon in the old days height wouldn't have even been raised as an issue there

I'm backing hawkeye over Chappelli though.

The biggest things hawkeye has shown us (that contradict decisions of the past) imo is (a) a lot of batsmen who "get well forward" to spinners are still out, but (b) unless it's really full, any ball from a seamer is liable to be going over

 

[Jono]

^ Yeah good call. Well forward to a spinner means less nowadays compared to previous times.

 

[R_D]

That is some b.s. below the knee role and going above the stumps!!!!!!!! i can't believe this....

Yeah was with Ian chappel until saw the camera from side on.... Made it bit more clear...

 

[Top_Cat]

Chappelli, please be quiet.

 

[Faisal1985]

andyc warned you here.

Point noted......please make it a personal mail to me next time you want to threaten a ban.... thank you....

 

[pasag]

That raw prediction image seems pretty convincing.

 

[Jono]

If the Pakistanis lose their head here it'll be disappointing.

 

[Faisal1985]

Poor bowling by Gul

 

[pasag]

If the Pakistanis lose their head here it'll be disappointing.

No it wont

Lol .......not for Pakistanis though...not disappointing at all....we are used to that.....

He had a huge stride forward, I don't see how Chappelli is that sure about that. Yea, it hit him below the kneeroll, but barely, and that stride meant that it could very well have gone over.

Was batting out of his crease too. Chappelli is acting like a tool.

 

[pasag]

There's the game.

 

[Top_Cat]

Eep, not a great shot but it got up a little.

Still reserving judgement until we see Pakistan batting on the surface.

 

[Faisal1985]

Fine ladies.....i will take Hussey over North any day......and today.....LOL

 

[thierry henry]

Misbah you beauty. lol I was roaring at the TV when that was in the air.

Pretty horrible shot from Hussey tbh

Asif bowls a bog-standard 131kph delivery and Chappelli says he bent his back more and got rewarded. I know a lot of people are suspicious of technology but personally I love the way it exposes a lot of cricketing myths.
