I find that, as a batsman, it is rather hard to judge if a ball would have gone on to hit the stumps....., but to judge whether the impact was outside off....., even I can do that.cricinfo said:23.6 - Finn to Umar Akmal, OUT, this one keeps low and moves sharply in off the seam to hit Umar on the back pad. He's given out lbw, and decides not to refer the decision. Why? He was hit well outside the line, and though the ball would've hit the stumps the referral would've saved him. He did look plumb first up, but surely they should at least have tried the referral. Too late now, he's gone
Other way round surely? Ali's took 32 balls, compared with Farhat's 24.How many other golden ducks have there been for test debutants?
On the stats front, two entries in the "slow ducks" top 50, headed by the legend of Geoff Allott.
Farhat in 14th and Ali in 45th.

Showers forecast later, but we could probably afford to lose a couple of days tbh.Is there rain about?
I can't believe you let them score over 250.Eng 1.55 pre-match was the biggest gift ever. EVER!
Pakistan are a joke.
Can't beleive Australia lost to this bunch
I can believe England crashed out of the world cup.I can't believe you let them score over 250.
Mendis > Pakistan batsmen thoughI can't believe you let them score over 250.
And no-one ran him out??Reminds me of a guy who opened in a Sunday friendly for my club last year, got out in the 28th over for 0
Swann hasn't bowled 100 FC overs this summer yet
