10.6 Pollock to Mohammad Ashraful, OUT: Unbelivable! short and raising
delivery down the leg side, Ashraful tries to hood it, top edge
and ball travels high in the air, simple catch taken Tikolo at
square leg, Pollock on fire

Could someone please just quickly confirm whether Pollock is literally on fire, or is it nothing to worry about?

 

[whyhkk]

this series could hurt or help the people contending for the super series team

 

[Jedi Knight]

Kemp on now

Inzi just edges past the first slip

 

[nedian21]

Yo Yo cant play new ball and so shouldnt have been at number 3. it shd be:

1. Afridi
2. Sehwag
3. Sangakara
4. Inzi
5. Yo Yo
6. Ashraful / Afridi depending on the situation
7. Afridi
8. Razzaq

[Nauman]

Stickied So lets see what the beast can do here the ball seems to be nipping around which makes me think that he wont be of much use.

 

[Khalil]

Inzi and YoYo once again prove that they just cannot bat in South Africa.

Flat track bullies!

 

[Jedi Knight]

69-4 17ovs

And just in case any of you haven't seen it guys - check out the RANA in county thread - he cracked 139 at over 100 strike rate and is currently bowling like you've never seen - destroyed them in the first innings with Mushy and now has taken 4 wickets in 6 deliveries!!!
