Pakistan in England/Scotland 2006

Michael Hussey shouldn't be called Mr Cricket

Eh? What are you talking about mate? It must be because i'm young.

A little bit off topic to say this but, I want Prior instead of Read! Well played today though Chris.

Calm down pal; It's a game, no need to bust a gut over it.

Let me ask you this; How many of the Pakistan batting line-up would have walked if it happened to them? None. A batsman should protect his wicket like it's his child.

In my opinion, Afridi dancing on the pitch whilst an unknown explosion took place is a lot more disgraceful than something that happens in every match.

Hah. You make me laugh. Protect a wicket? Yes, that's fine- but Cheatersen should have been out five times! The fact that he didn't walk isn't the point here; it's that he influenced the umpire's decision! Cheatersen is a great character...He claims higher moral ground against Afridi and then does this? Tell me which is more disgraceful.

Darrell Hair isn't a particularly good umpire in my opinion, but it hardly means he is racist. He's made bad decisions against every team. As for Pietersen, yes it was naughty, but the umpire can make up his own mind. Why don't you have a go at Billy Doctrove for not giving Alastair Cook out for what was a far more obvious edge than Pietersen's?

Doctrove was beyond belief as well; he turned down an edge which natives back in his Caribbean would have heard!

Two other things.

1. Not walking is not cheating. There is nothing in the rules that says you have to walk.
2. Pietersen pointed to his thigh AFTER the umpire gave him not out.

And finally, I insist that you withdraw your accusation that Hair is racist.

Please look at the picture I provided. Cheatersen pointed at his thigh WHILST Darryl was considering the appeal.

I'm sorry, but can you re-iterate the 5 times he should have been out?

I have deleted sections of your post, since you were continuing your racist accusations after being asked to stop. Don't do it again.

Shahid Afridi was much much worse.

Inside edges are the hardest to detect unless they are really evident.

I have just watched the highlights and he didn't point till after the decision.

Ah, that explains why my post was deleted. Sorry.

Pakistan have been totally hard done by, by some shocking umpiring.

Darryl Hair proves once again he is incompetant and shouldn't be on the elite panel. He is easily the worst umpire out there today. Anyway I would be furious about that. They were both obvious to me and what mainly made them obvious is the batsmens reactions. Absolute give away, they were both getting ready to pack up camp and trudge back. They knew they hit it. Pietersen did lie, he knew he got bat on that ball. Whoever he was telling it was just pad.

Anyway, off that subject. England in a good position. And it could have been better if Pietersen could continue. Infact I hope he can come back out.

Pakistans Nazir bowled very well I thought.

A few things. Firstly, whilst Pietersen was clearly out to everyone on the field except the umpire he touched his thigh pad after Hair had called him not out. Secondly Hair wasn't the only one making bad calls - Billy Doctrove was too and he's West Indian so you can't exactly accuse him of being "biased towards whites."
Secondly, however upset or angry you are about a days play that is not the way to express it. Yes, the umpires got a few wrong but it is not acceptable to play the racism card and accuse either Hair or the ICC of being white supremicists. You're entitled to your opinion but if you continue to make such inflammatory and offensive posts they will simply be deleted in future.

Mate, I saw the LBW appeals and I wouldn't have given any of them either to be honest.

I hate the way you use the term racism in your views also. It just shows that your views are pathetic.

You may not realise but everytime you edge the ball you don't always feel the edge.

Remember Blazer that Pakistani batsman never cheat.

He was lucky, but as Andrew pointed out it wasn't cheating, unlike a certain Pakistani batsman earlier this season?

Oh and still poor quality photos aren't really proof.

Ah, I was expecting such a backlash from the English fans. You are threatning to remove any future posts I make on the matter- Why? I have not sworn or made any accusations without providing evidence. I want to discuss this matter properly, deleting my posts just seems like the wrong thing to do.

My views are pathetic, are they? Calling Hair a racist is wrong, yes? Why don't you talk to any of the thousands of other furious Pakistani fans- This is certainly not the first time Darryl has been biased!

Yes yes, please go ahead and have a dig at Afridi- Can't you drop a thing that happened last year? Afridi certainly can't be punished enough or apologise enough to the English media, it seems. What Cheatersen was a disgraceful act; no sportsmanship at all and poor behaviour from such a high-class batsman. He had a lot of nerve jumping up and down after reaching his 100- No way did he deserve it!

No he didn't. Watch the footage. He clearly touches his thigh AFTER he is given not out.

Yes he should have been out. But you're making yourself look like a total prick by the way you go on about it. As I said, remember when Pakistan got all those wickets from no balls back in 2001? And remember Afridi scuffing up the pitch last year? You accuse English players of cheating (when they're not) but won't accept that Pakistan have cheated. There's a word for that.

So if Pietersen apologised for his 'disgraceful' act, would you forget it? Somehow I doubt it. Pietersen scored a 100 runs; Of course he deserved it.

Those first four word are accurate, the rest is 100% lies.

Is it Hypocricy? I'm not sure.

But yes, these things balance out. If Inzi does something similar in the second innings, you will not see any of us calling Hair a racist.

 

[andrew_nixon]

And by the way you seem to be spelling Pietersen's name wrong.

Is it Hypocricy? I'm not sure.

That's one of the words, though there is another.

 

[irottev]

I must admit. It seemed like Pietersen was definatly pointing at his thigh and said something. Didn't look like it was necessarily towards the umpire but perhaps an opposition player.

Do I not have freedom of speech on this forum? Am I not allowed to voice my opinions?

Shahid Afridi was much much worse

Oh really? Care to explain why? Seems like the English still can't help having a dig at a Pakistani player...
