Pakistan in England/Scotland 2006

Agreed. That ball would have got anyone one out.

Who needs Simon Jones?

England does. badly.

Saj is too inconsistent for my liking. Jonesy is a proper wicket-taker!

I know that. I hope you didn't think I was being serious there!

Simon Jones is probably our second best bowler, and we really have missed his swing in all the series he has missed.

It's nothing to do with the match referee it's in the rules.

It's in there to basically stop batsman resting during the field so they have plenty of energy during their innings.

It's the match referees interpretation of the injury, so I would say it has a fair bit to do with him. It's harsh as Inzamam has a chest injury and how did he get out in the first innings? He got hit in the chest, bit of a coincidence, no?

I said Pakistan wouldn't win by the way.

Serious question now, how many chances has Read dropped in this test match?

None, to be precise.

None, to be precise.

And he got Mahmood a wicket from nothing

 

[MUFC1987]

None, to be precise.

He dropped one just now according to the posts in this thread.

Well if you knew that why ask?

And which drop is this?

I knew it because someone posted it. I however do not know how many more there are as I am sat at work, not at home in front of the TV, with the benefits pooring in. So apologies for my lack of knowledge on the finer points of Chris Read's catching in this match. I wanted an unbiased answer, not some kid trying to look smart.

Which post are you referring to? I don't remember Read dropping anything.
Anyhow Monty has bowled Younis Khan with a superlative delivery so I can't see Pakistan making it past tea now.

 

[evertonfan]

Monty Panesar I love you!

What a delivery by the turbanator! Good God Fletcher, how can you even consider bringing Giles back?

Oh please that's no excuse.

It was from a spinner. So the ball hit him at about 35MPh and he had a chestguard on!

None.

Unless you seriously call that edge from Monty a chance and only a fool would call that a chance for the keeper.

I'm not calling you a fool btw

Is he runout?

Yes!

 

[barmyarmy]

This running is utterly suicidal. Pietersen didn't even need a direct hit.
Well I'm sorry but with running like that you can kiss goodbye to the series.

 

[evertonfan]

Sami ran out. Two stupid run-outs in a situation like this is ridiculous; What on earth goes through the minds of these Pakistan batsmen?

Come on England, get Inzi out now.

Leave Inzi in and let the tailends suicide on run outs trying to get away from the strike

 

[evertonfan]

Pakistan still have the slimmest of chances as long as the not-so-slim Inzamam stays in. If England can get him out then Pakistan are dead buried.
