Pakistan in England/Scotland 2006

[barmyarmy]

Good to see Daryll Hair is still ignoring Law 36. Maybe they accidentally left it out of the last ICC umpires refresher course.

What a catch Montster! Stick that in your 'One-Dimension' Fletcher!

c Panesar b Mahmood was about the last thing I expected to see today!

Catch for Monty! I want to see Fletch's expression when he took it


I think people are giving Fletch a lot of unfair stick for this. He's taken England from the worst team in the world to one of the best, and if his comments (which are valid, if not correct) spur Monty on to improve his batting and fielding, then he's done the Englisg game a huge favour.

I love how the crowd gave Monty a standing ovation for taking a catch! Monty has took 2 out of 3 catches in his England career; That's better than KP's when he first started!

 

[Simbazz]

Inzi, lol, His arse takes up most of the picture

Well done Monty!

He is useless when it comes to ODI's though, and his obsession with tailenders batting doesn't help.

Well done Monty!

Why on earth have you posted a picture of a full moon?



I have a feeling that England will take ages to get this last wicket.

Which one is that?

Good catch by Monty, I have only counted one misfield from Monty and that happened in his last over, his 44th over?

He's bowled 10 more overs than Danish and went for the same ammount of runs according to sky.

2 wickets in the last 10 years by English spinners.

So Monty in one innings has doubled it

201 average for Giles at Headingley with one wicket vs India in 2002.

Well there's another one to chalk up against the umpires in the incorrect decisions column although, to be fair, Harmison didn't appeal.

Which one is that?

lbw
None given by him yet in this match.

 

[Sureshot]

An aircraft went overhead at the same time the bat hit the edge.

Snicko is showing a big white line.

I don't mean to incite anything here but isn't it surprising how not one English member has suspected bias or racism?

What the hell is up with England and getting rid of a tail?!

 

[BigCrickNan]

This is stupid. Don't bowl short at the tail, they just ride it most of the time and get free runs. bloody york them.

And why is monty bowling outside offstump

That's because the point we're making is that umpires make mistakes and mistakes tend to even out.

I completley agree with you, this is what I say in every thread when the umpire debate props up.

He is trying to impress Fletcher by bowling like Giles.

Good catch Tres although it's a bit late now

I fancy Pakistan to strike in this little period too.

I feel sorry for Inzi, Younis and Yousef though; If it weren't for them Pakistan would have been bowled out for 147.

 

[barmyarmy]

Very little period. Absolute max 2 overs - probably 1.
