***Official*** England in Pakistan

Don't be your usual self, Shoaib.

Clown made a joke - a good one too.

As far as Shoaib Malik and Shabbir are concerned, are you actually suggesting that it's the big bad international conspiracy against Pakistan again, or do you think that the officials might have a case? Seeing as the TV umpire is a Pakistani, and he had more opportunity to study their actions than anyone else, don't you think that he would have been in the best position to suggest that it was all an optical illusion and their actions were squeaky-clean?

Instead, he is one of the co-accusers. Why do you think that is?

The major critics of Shabbir's action were the Pakistani commentators.

Obviously, they're from a different sect, caste, PO Box, etc

Except football, now were in the WC of course.

Are you mad? You must be, to suggest that that simpleton's game is even fractionally as great as the divine sport of cricket.

Noooooo! I'm perfectly sane!

How else would you describe someone that ventures the opinion that football > cricket> family whilst nursing their 13 day old son as his mother sleeps on the couch in the same room.

I think that photo clearly shows his problem - He's really a left-hander!

I was thinking that, too......

I think that happened in Karachi in one of the seventies tour??

Sorry, my memory is getting prematurely bad.

Well, it was better than mine. I only came across it by accident the other day - I'd completely forgotten otherwise.

These things happen once youve reached drinking age.

Every Indian bowler, past and present.

These crap bowlers still did not manage to lose the Ashes did they?

Haha, even neutrals are giving the Aussies stick. Loving it.

So Pakistan actually played the last test match with 2 chuckers and won it!!! Never in the history of test cricket has any team been found playing with 2 chuckers at a time.I really feel bad for Trescothick's men, Tres himself lost his crucial wicket to a dilevery that was thrown instead of being balled..

No, but no two of them have been able to manage 600, let alone over 1,100 test wickets between them, either.

 

[Pratters]

No, but no two of them have been able to manage 600, let alone over 1,100 test wickets between them, either.

And still they could not stop the Ashes being lost.

And still they could not stop the Ashes being lost.

One of them didn't play for the majority of it, but kept his team unbeaten in the ones he did take part in. The other one took 40 wickets.

 

[wahindiawah]

Well Pakistan will now have to make changes as chuckers will have to be thrown ot of the game sooner or latter.

I would go for,

Butt
Afridi
Yonus
Inzi
Yousuf
Asim
Akmal
Allmighty
Akhtar
Sami
Danish

And in the time they played, they could not stop the Ashes being lost

Aah, they havent been convicted yet.

 

[wahindiawah]

England actually lost 1/4th of the match wickets to illegal balls (Shabbirs first wkt was fine but the rest 4 were clear case of chucking, also Malik took 1 wkts while chucking).The result of the match would have been entirely different if chuckers were not allowed to robb the game.

Really?

I can give you an example of a test series played between England and Australia where at least SIX players had been the subject of knowing glances and innuendo, two had been no-balled for throwing in test matches and two were eventually hounded out of the game.

It's been the scourge of the game since time immemorial - and at last the ICC are trying to get rid of it.

Unfortunately, by changing the rules.

They're out in force tonight.
