***Official*** Pakistan and England in UAE

One each.

Yeah a tailender against the captain and opening bat, really level.

 

[NasserFan207]

Well at least he's consistent.

 

[r3alist]

Well atleast there's consistency!!!!

 

[Spark]

God that's appalling. Absolutely disgraceful.

 

[Black_Warrior]

Top class batsmen won't be worried about 140ks not swinging. Surely if he needs to bowl faster or swing it should be more like 150.

Yeah if he starts with 145, he can get to 150.

 

[Spark]

How can it be given without the hotspot marks

**** knows. Pretty obviously missing on the live replays.

 

[Jarquis]

Smh.

 

[Bouncer]

That's hit his pocket. 100%. Big noise, no hot spot; it's just flicked it as it's gone by.

Wait a sec...if it hit his pocket then why was there no spot shown by hot sot on his pocket?

And secondly, why does he have a piece of willow in his pocket while batting, because the noise that it generated was quite woody, wasnt it?

Its Strauss though.

 

[wellAlbidarned]

Looks like Pakistan have found Chris Martin's long lost brother in Cheema too.

 

[Vroomfondel]

clearly Steve-o anticipated the old 'vaseline on bat' trick, ignored hotspot and gave it out anyway. Good on him.

 

[wpdavid]

Well that's just great.

We're probably up the creek anyway, but you do wonder how some of these people hold down a job.

Accuracy? Seam?

Its one thing for an on field umpire to make mistakes, but for the third umpire to do the same after having the benefit of technology is pathetic

 

[Daemon]

Wtf, get Cheema back on you muppet. Bowling so well and you take him off for this wanker.

Agreed, he is crap when he is in the middle anyway. Dunno how he is on the elite panel to be honest.

No need or that sort of thing

 

[Black_Warrior]

Exactly

 

[weldone]

I blame BCCI for this.

 

[Prince EWS]

Wait a sec...if it hit his pocket then why was there no spot shown by hot sot on his pocket?

Because it hit such a small area and there was so little friction; it just flicked it as it went by.

And secondly, why does he have a piece of willow in his pocket while batting, because the noise that it generated was quite woody, wasnt it?

Again; flicking noise. Sounds very similar.
