    ***Official*** Pakistan in England

    What makes you think it's Shahid Nazir? I don't think it's him, as he hadn't even been given the ball until Gul was replaced from the attack, immediately after the ball was changed.

    ***Official*** Pakistan in England

    The photo imo shuld be discounted as evidence, unless they can produce the rest of it (if there is anymore). This photo could have been taken any day, it might not even be a pakistani for all we know. It's a coloured pair of hands picking at a cricket ball. That could happen anywhere in the...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in England

    That is the STUPIDEST thing ever. Do you even play cricket? Have you seen a real cricket ball before? There have been times when i've been bowling, and been hit for six (happens often might i add)< and the ball returns to me looking like a totally different ball. There is deep scratches...

    ***Official*** Pakistan in England

    Yes, but you do not accuse the bowling team of tampering, and you do not award 5 penalty runs.

    ***Official*** Pakistan in England

    He can ask the third umpire to look for footage of tampering. If there is no footage, and therefore no proof, you can't simply accuse them. If you were driving along, and the cops pulled you over and said 'your rear tyres look more worn than your fronts, you've been doing burnouts' and...

    Were Waquar Younis and Wasim Akram ever caught ball tampering?

    ***Official*** Pakistan in England

    Hair does not know WHO tampered with the ball, or WHEN it was tampered. He isn't the only one though 26 camera's at the ground, possibly more, so you'd think that at any point of time, at least one camera would be on the ball at all times. Yet, no footage. Interesting. I suppose the...

    Pakistan opening solution

    Opening: 3 Matches, 5 Innings, 162 Runs @ 32.40, with two 50's. Batting at 6: 7 Matches, 12 Innings, 678 Runs @ 56.50 with three 100's, and two 50's. Centuries: http://www.cricinfo.com/db/ARCHIVE/2005/PAK_IN_WI/SCORECARDS/PAK_WI_T1_26-30MAY2005.html Definately under pressure. Couldn't...

    Pakistan opening solution

    fair enough, over working the keeper is a valid reason. I'd swap afridi with akmal then. I'd also be looking to drop one of the quicks for another batsman, but not sure which one should go. Looks like Rana at this stage, but he's too good to drop :( For R_D, Afridi averages 43 in the last 2...

    Pakistan opening solution

    Afridi > Hafeez. Afridi's test batting average over the past 2 years is 43. That's quite good, and add to that his bowling (though a bit ineffective lately, has a habit of taking key wickets), and his fielding. But even more so, is his unpredictability. His batting or bowling can both win...

    Best Test Allrounder

    Let's compare like with like Normal all rounders in one grp Wicketkeeper/batsman in the other IT's impossible to compare Gilchrist with Flintoff except in terms of batting.

    Best Test Allrounder

    If it's last 2 years, think Afridi deserves at least a spot on that list. Since 1/1/04 in 12 tests batting avg: 43 bowling avg: 37.65 3 Centuries 4 half centuries 26 wickets His bowling is a bit weak, but I think it's still worthy of consideration at least. I'd certainly rate him more of an...

    Shahid Afridi Vs MS Dhoni

    Afridi has set up plenty of run chases for Pakistan, either as an opener, or to finish (or almost finish) a chase coming lower in the order. Afridi has been in world cricket for a while now, and has succeeded to some extent. Dhoni is new, and it seems like a weakness may have been found...

    Looking for a clarification on a rule...

    yup that's what i meant. Front foot no balls often give you enough time. Waist heigh full tosses don't. Either way, as silentstriker said, the umpire ruled no ball , that should be final decision. If it's one of those decisions that can be interpreted either way, just accept the umps first...

    Looking for a clarification on a rule...

    No ball imo However, the people saying that it would affect the shot the batsman played - wrong. For a front foot no ball, yes that is the case, but for an above waist high full toss, by the time the umpire called no ball, the batsman's 'opportunity' at playing the ball, would have been over...
