*Official* Pakistan in England 2010

[Prince EWS]

What happened?

Pietersen backed away as the bowler was running in.. the umpire called dead ball but Asif bowled it anyway, then Pietersen casually chipped a catch to mid-off.

 

[Spark]

Right, we've dug out the laws on that KP incident. Law 23.3.b (v) states: "Either umpire shall call "dead ball" when he is satisfied that for an adequate reason the striker is not ready for the delivery of the ball and, if the ball is delivered, makes no attempt to play it.

"He's bang to rights, and that should have been given out, I reckon," adds Miller. "Especially given how often he dances around in the crease. He could have been shaping for a switch hit for all the bowler knew."

Cricinfo.

Well well.

[Sir Alex]

And they didn't refer that..

Make 5 reprieves within 41 for Kevin..

Umar Amin - You are a joke. Not only you average lower than Mohammad Aamer with the bat and can't catch a cold, but also can't keep your pants on your waist.

 

[Neil Pickup]

Cricinfo.

Well well.

Sounds right to me - looks like another faux pas from Erasmus in calling dead ball mid-delivery. If it was Erasmus; I can't remember...

 

[King Pietersen]

Not really a reprieve given that even with a referral he wouldn't have been given out.

 

[Sir Alex]

Cricinfo.

Well well.

Aha... Erasmus is a joke then.

 

[superkingdave]

that wouldnt have been out on referral would it?

Not really a reprieve given that even with a referral he wouldn't have been given out.

What was wrong with that? Ball was hitting stumps fully (not bails etc)..and hit him in line.

Not in-line enough to overturn. And he was a reasonable distance down the track.

Impact was in the uncertain zone so umpire decision would have been upheld

There is no doubt whatsoever in the ball hitting the stumps, acc to HE, but I must admit I don't know what the law says about the ball hitting "partially" inline with the stumps.

 

[Sir Alex]

Fair enough then.

No, umpire's call re hitting him in line

 

[Uppercut]

A fun side-effect of Pakistan's fielding is that we get plenty of chances to see just how dire KP actually is at the moment.

 

[King Pietersen]

The umpire gave it not out. Therefore, because he was over 2.5m down the pitch, and 'umpires call' came up as far as him being outside the line or not it couldn't have been overturned.

 

[Avada Kedavra]

The one catch Pak take is off a dead ball?What the hell is going on?

 

[Goughy]

Some please give me some quick insight. It is 745pm here. I was thinking to taking a taxi on my own in about 10 mins to a bar that shows cricket. What is the weather looking like? Is it worth the treck?

Currently taking an early lunch due to rain.

If you enjoy watching England demolish an opponent, try and find somewhere to watch it.

If you want to watch quality cricket, avoid.
