Yeh, and Sajid Mahmood should play cricket for living

Here comes Rana now, to prove you wrong. And of course Sajid should be playing cricket for a living - it's better than stocking grocery shelves, as he was before.

Fair point. Wonder if he ever missed the shelves?

 

[SpaceMonkey]

The ball clearly bounced, the ultra slow motion just shows it even more so. Strauss was right to stand his ground if he felt it had bounced. Shame on Inzi for claiming it when theres no way he could have been 100% sure if had bounced or not. His arguing afterwards just made him look foolish.

Yeah, I'd imagine that he dropped his share of cans wide of the shelves and sent a few too many bouncers down the aisles as well.

I wonder what he said.
"Well yes. The video did show the ball didn't carry, but the camera puts on 10 pounds, therefore the ball looked almost three times bigger than it actually is and the ball hitting the floor, assuming that the resizing kept the same centre of the ball's progress, was just an optical allusion. So it did carry straight to me. So it has to be out! Change your decision! Change it! You saw what I did to Darrell Hair. If you don't give him out, I'll claim you called me a '**** *******' and the same will happen to you. I'm warning you, I have a different skin pigment and religion and I'm not afraid to use them! Oh, just give him out, ffs."

I don't see how anyone can argue against the use of the 3rd umpire in cases like this, if the umpires weren't sure, they can't give it out, so why not go to the 3rd umpire and see if they are wrong and Asif gets the wicket?

And i don't think taking the word of the feilder is the safest course of aciton for any party, imagine if Inzy said he caught one and the batsman walked off the replays showed it clearly bounced, then Inzy would be labbeled as a cheat, and we ll know what happens when that happens.

Shoaib Malik is the 18th best batsman in the world according to the Maruti Sazuki Cricket Ratings. The absolute best is Yuvraj Singh, whereas the top bowler is Irfan Pathan. For comparison, Inzamam-ul-Haq is rated 38th best batsman, and Shoaib Akhtar is not good enough to make the list at all. One good thing about Maruti Sazuki is that they have Clown just a few points off the top batting spot.

You just ruined the width of the entire previous page. And this one, too, now that I've had to quote you on it.

Plus, Rana is, in fact, swinging it much like Lewis.

Razzaq feeling sorry for all the punishment he gave England

 

[grecian]

Some good shots from Bell there, but I can't believe Inzi hasn't tried one of his three spinners as one of the first changes, considering how much turn Dalrymple and Yardy got. Who lets face it, aren't Murali and Warne.

Contrary to popular belief, Razzaq isn't the bowler he once was.

 

[superkingdave]

behind the rate after the power plays on a turning pitch. I'd say 75-25 Pakistan atm

You're crazy. I'd say the same in favor of England at the moment.

 

[superkingdave]

well i've just stuck a bit on Pakistan at 9/2 so ill be happy either way

Has Inzi given up? He seems to be posturing and spitting the dummy almost every ball at the moment.

 

[ClownSymonds]

Not even the Poms can lose this one.

At least they're still on the field.
