*Official* - Pakistan in New Zealand 2010/2011

[Howsie]

Well that's a whole bunch of bull****.

 

[morgieb]

Proves that Butt/Amir/Asif are guilty .

Pakistan since the spot-fixing broke have performed much better as a team I feel.

 

[vcs]

Wow, they aren't using UDRS right? They shouldn't be looking at whether there was an inside edge or not using replays if the umpires didn't think so..

 

[Bahnz]

Kane gone now. He better watch out for Ross Taylor's diamond studded bat coming straight for his head when he gets back to the dressing room.

 

[Spark]

derp derp

x3

EDIT: I think there is a loophole in the laws that allows the umpire to do that...

 

[Jono]

Lol @ looking at hot spot when a proper replay showed that more clearly

 

[BeeGee]

Not really, what exactly were your expectations? We've played Test cricket like this for the last 4-5 years now, what's new

My expectations were that we'd not be 61/6 on a good batting track against an average bowling attack.
I know I'm asking a lot.....

 

[morgieb]

All over red rover you'd think.

 

[morgieb]

This collapse is diabolical. Let's hope that no-one's involved in spot-fixing.

 

[smash84]

So you'd worry about chasing 80 or so against this ferocious NZ bowling attack would you I get the feeling you'd pick Pakistan to still lose in they needed 10 runs to win with 8 wickets in hand This is NZ they're playing here

this is dire fdrom NZ 62/6

but this has happened before in SL. PAk needing 80 odd runs to win and have eight wickets in hand. They had come a long way. Then 8 wickets folded for 17 runs or so

 

[vcs]

Seriously, The Jacket looks like a very good find for Pakistan. Yet again.

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

So so dire, the joys of being a New Zealand supporter.

Still don't understand the use of technology.
Especially considering the collapse started with a dodgy call that technology couldn't be used on.

 

[morgieb]

Seriously, The Jacket looks like a very good find for Pakistan. Yet again.

Yeah, it's strange how Pakistan can pull sooooo many quicks out of their arse.

 

[vcs]

Yeah, didn't understand the use of technology to confirm the nick, but got to give credit to the fielder there for his presence of mind.

 

[Spark]

Nah, I remember something very similar last year at Lord's where Ponting was given out caught when he clearly hadn't hit it. They only checked the clean catch, not whether it was hit.

Greg Matthews the next day then read out the law which said pretty obviously that you have to check both if you can.

Yeah, you're right, what was I thinking, NZ are well on top, in fact should think about a declaration soon

 

[Bahnz]

Doull having a brain explosion in the commentary box.

Slapstick stuff really. I can't believe I booked 3 days of work leave in order to go watch these losers in Wellington.

 

[99*]

**** me.

How ****ing long is McIntosh going to get a free ride, the man is a specialist fielder with a 1/10 shot of making 30+. Get ****ing rid of him quicksmart and put Guptill up one. Ryder to three, I'm sick of this "oh he scored a 200 @ 5 keep him there" he's our best batsman by a mile and he can make the best use of his ability @ 3.

McCullum
Guptill
Ryder
Taylor
Williamson
Franklin (only because he's in the squad, there has to be somebody better)
Young
Vettori
Southee
Arnel
Martin

 

[smash84]

wth was that???? how could they use hotspot???

 

[Howsie]

Exactly. If the umpire believes Williamson nicked it onto his pad why are the checking whether or not he did and not just the catch?
