*Official* Australia vs Pakistan in England

[Spark]

Here we go.

 

[Pothas]

Brilliant ball. How long have we been waiting for that to happen this series?

 

[Manee]

Here we go.

Again.

 

[Faisal1985]

10% closer to victory....

 

[Faisal1985]

Lets go Amir, bring one back in to Punter and knock his middle stump...

Mohammad Aamer to Ponting, no run, 89.0 mph, massive appeal! Ponting shoulders arms fist ball, thrusting his front pad down the wicket and watching in horror as the ball snaked back and crashed into him, knee height in front. Rudi called not out very early but replays showed it was hitting. Lucky for Ponting!

Oh FFS Rudy!!!! How much more B.S.!

Wasn't BS. Can't give that out IMO, he was a mile down the pitch.

 

[Pratters]

It's easier to loosen the body that way by slamming the ball in short.

Yeah, agreed. Another one I've picked up for a bowlers warm up is looking to bowl the ball to someone who is about 50m away, good way to stretch the muscles out.

Thanks.

@ faisal:

Replays showed it was just clipping the top mate, it wasn't a grubber that was taking out all three stumps. Would've looked quite high to Rudi I'd imagine.

Totally agreed. Commentator sounded like a deadset moron too as he tried to talk his way out of it

He was not offering a shot! I play hardball cricket as well...i know that if you are shouldering arms and hits up front it is gone! i don't know how they keep on bending the rules.

Has to actually be hitting the stumps as well...

Ok then its a different story..but the cricinfo dude said it was hitting stumps.

Ponting will go down as a great but his eyes arent as good as they used to be and he can't fall back on a brilliant technique -just looks so dodgy early on nowadays

Having said that, he'll probably get 200

Clipping the bails. He was a long way down the pitch so no way you can tell.

 

[Pratters]

What a ball that was! Even Watson smiles. Too good for the edge.

 

[slowfinger]

Can just smell either Pakistan domination or an Oz comeback

 

[Sir Alex]

Oh ok NM

It is like saying either a wicket will fall or not off the next ball.

 

[Jono]

I'd have given Ponting first ball there! Looked out live
