Pakistan v Australia in England, June-July 2010

[Howsie]

North was lucky he didn't get out earlier to Amin also, terrible batting really. Even in conditons like this you shouldn't be getting out to a part timer.

 

[King Pietersen]

Aamer's a bit of a cock really isn't he. I thought it was just bad luck that he ended up running into Clarke and Ponting in successive games, but now he's just decided to talk ████ to Paine, and got rightly spoken to by the umpire. May be considered youthful exuberance, but he needs to stop acting like a bell, or he could end up getting himself in trouble.

So when Australian and English players talk to each other, it's called sledging, but when Aamer does it, it's talking ████?

Seeing as Aamer has had Paine looking a bit clueless, he's backing up the '████' he's talking with action.

Now that is a way to extract revenge on the guy that got you out twice last test match.

That's not the sort of sledging I agree with. If you get a guy to play and miss you can say a few words in your follow through, but what Aamer did came across as very arrogant. I just don't agree with walking past a bloke at the non-strikers end and saying something that was clearly inappropriate, before walking off completely ignoring the umpire. The umpire was calling him back, as what Aamer said clearly wasn't too pleasant, and he just walked off like a child. There's a difference between that, and a few words as you follow through to a bloke looking clueless.

Aamer's been involved in 3 incidents in his last 3 matches, it's not on.

Will be more interesting when Kaneria gives him the straighter one, that was the one he wasn't playing well.

Aamer was talking to Paine at the beginning of the over though, possibly Paine said something at the end - that we don't know.

Obviously Aamer did say something, but I can't imagine what it could have been that the umpire would be so concerned.

 

[TumTum]

Australia in a great position here, should be thinking of declaring soon.

 

[sami ullah khan]

^lols. I agree, it would be a very safe declaration considering our pathetic batting.

 

[khalek]

Salman Butt - greatest captain ever?

 

[Insomniac]

Haahahahaha Aamer strikes first ball!

 

[King Pietersen]

:laugh This is brilliant. Smith gone, more excellent bowling from Aamer. Might be a bit of a cock, but he's got the skills to back it up. Superb stuff.

 

[treva]

What a ball first up after Lunch. Johnson to have a bit of a slog here to try and get Australia up to 150?

 

[khalek]

Cricinfo is so slow, it's still 73/6.
