Pakistan in England/Scotland 2006

Hit outside the line of off and probably missing leg. Great job BD.

 

[Eddie]

According to cricinfo, the ball almost missed the Cut-strip, hit Strausss outside the line, and was "maybe" grazing the leg-stump..

sounds like a great decision.. :

I think Doctrove need to read the LBW laws...cos he gave Cook out LBW in the 1st inning, to a ball that hit him outside the stumps, from around the wicket !

Doctrove needs to be removed from the elite panel to be honest. The amount of decisions he's got wrong in these two matches is ridiculous. If he had a bad match then fair enough, but he's having a second shocker!

Sounds like Kaneria is bowling pretty well, just hope Cook somehow survives against him.

 

[Eddie]

well apparently replays are suggesting that Strauss even hit the ball with his bat ....

so apart from :

hititng the ball
being hit outside the line
the ball missing the stumps

apart from that he was spot on ..

I don't want to jinx anything, but Asif is bowling below-par in this innings probably due to 'lack of match-fitness', just like I said.

I really don't want Pietersen to play a Pietersen innings here.

 

[Eddie]

i dunno..Pietersen is 42 off 43 balls...another couple hours of him will make things interesting.

Other than Kaneria rest of bowling look very impotent

Looks like all hell is breaking loose. I'm reserving judgement for the moment as I can't believe Pakistan would be dumb enough to tamper with the ball with TV cameras everywhere.

Yes, this is Hell broken loose. Darrell Hair has accussed Pakistan of Cheating. He better have solid proof. Scratches on the ball are not enough. Unless, he has seen someone do it, he can't come to the conclusion that someone tampered the ball.

Inzi should have walked off.

Let's not get into this again. Remember, BOTH umpires have to agree on something like this.

 

[Eddie]

can someone explian what happened..i stopped listening for like 30 minutes..

also what implencations does this have ?

The ball started reverse swinging. Darrell Hair and the other umpire looked at the ball and concluded it had been tampered with. So the umpire made the batsmen choose another ball.

 

[Eddie]

am i right in saying that 5 penalty runs were added?

what a joke..that makes it almost worth doing if u can get a top class batsman out..

I mean consider Pakistan getting Pietersen Out with a tampered ball..well worth loosing 5 runs..

I mean what deterent is 5 runs?

 

[Sureshot]

That's not the deterent Eddie.

The deterant is the ban following if found guilty.

I'm with Colin on this, I can't believe Pakistan would be that stupid.

But then I can't believe the umpires doing something like they have without solid proof.

 

[Eddie]

Still think 5 penalty runs is a joke, should be far more severe.

But, anyways back to the match, Bell and Colly in, they have to be there at the close for England to have any chance of survival now.

The deterant is the ban following if found guilty.

The deterrent is the shame and disgrace that is heaped on your team.
