*Official* Pakistan v South Africa in UAE

.

That's an upset in anybody's language.

Wrong. It isn't in his

So I was on the Indian Cricket Fans website and noticed a thread on Junaid Khan chucking with a lot of their posters claiming that he does. Is this true, does he have a jerk in his action. If not I think it's unfair to label someone like that.

Nah, looks to me like he just puts a lot of work on the ball with his wrist. To the untrained and biased Indian eye it may look like a chuck but it isn't imo

 

[Maximas]

he appears to have a bit of a jerk, but I've never seen a slow-mo of his action so it's hard to tell

lol @ you for taking ICF seriously

Don't think it's a chuck. If we're going by Junaid's action, try looking up some footage of Fred Trueman bowling. Has seems to have a much bigger jerk in his action, but that isn't a chuck either even though initially i thought it was.

It's the same with Trueman... He had an extremely wristy action as well... The wrist **** makes it look like a chuck

Misbah is such a likeable cricketer.

We like him too. Played a crucial role in both T20 and ODI world cup victories for India

 

[hendrix]

Junaid doesn't even have a hint of chuck in his action, ignore that bull****.

As for the upset...well as others have mentioned, any game Pakistan play cannot be considered an upset...neither the Zimbabwe loss nor the SA victory.

 

[Briony]

Probably not such a huge upset when you consider the conditions and SA being so raw after a long layoff.

 

[smash84]

just say that you think it is an upset

Predictions:
Amla and Kallis to ton up
Steyn to be outbowled by Philander, will worsen his record in UAE prompting subcontinental fans to brand him the new Dennis Lillee

Two out of three ain't bad. Kallis just didn't turn up at all.

or more like his time is up.

 

[Furball]

It was about time someone dished out a beating to South Africa.

 

[Briony]

Amla could be missing for the second test.

 

[smash84]

yes, definitely very good news for Pakistan. Amla easily the most dangerous SA batsman these days

 

[centurymaker]

Well, he's been ranked no.1 in the world for quite sometime.

And now AB has moved into no.2, whereas Kallis has fallen to No.12

As for pakistan, both khan and misbah are now in the top 10.

 

[smash84]

wow.....didn't know that ABDEV had moved into 2nd place.

The difference that I find between the two is that with AB it always felt to me (vs Pakistan) that the bowlers have a chance and he could get out any moment. With Amla (vs Pakistan) it always feels that he will play a chanceless innings for a long time and only then allow the bowlers some chances.

 

[Spark]

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, ABdV hasn't played anywhere near as many genuinely significant innings over the last 18 months as a #2 ranking would suggest
