What a 100! That is the most undeserving 100 I have seen in ages! WHAT PLAYER!

KP: "Yeah thanks, I think Iplayed well if you disclude the two times I was out. But like it was a great partnership between me and Hair....I couldn't have done it without him...."

I am very disappointed with kaneria and sami as usual has been rubbish. Samiullah niazi being a left hand bowler would have been a better option. Perhaps if afridi was'nt dropped than pakistan could have done better with kaneria not performing.
 
Well there it is, the best century in the history of cricket ever... but enough about my stick cricket efforts.

Well done Kev, not a classic for obvious reasons but they do all count at the end of the day.

How the hell is it a joy to watch when you know he was out.
 
Great batting by peitersen, a joy to watch but sadly peitersen has'nt proved to be a decent enough sportsman to walk off when he was rightly out.

Do you really think he should have walked?
 
Why is Sami bowling bouncers? He's is a joke. Even though he picked up 2 wickets.

Yes he should have. There should be an honesty factor in this game, because umpires are very biased these days.
 
Well played KP...cricinfo made some of shots sound exquisite. Well played..once again.

I'm sure all the english fans are proud of you. No matter how you cheat.

I'm still fuming...seething actually. Hope what goes around..comes around. If there is any justice in this world. The persecutors carry on with their hypocrisy's

Billy boy...please do not try to defend KP's actions...you sound ignorant when you do (and no offence intended...just stating facts).

Please explain...if he wasn't cheating than why was he signalling to the umpire? And please do not patronise anyone.
 
somebody tell me how is danish gonna getting a wicket from bowling from here....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..........danish you are over
 
In today's game - very few players walk.

They aregue (right;y/wrongly) that the umpire is there to make a decision.

BUT WHY THE HELL DID PAK NOT OBJECT TO DARRELL HAIR?? Especially after the last tour.

Unfinished business on Hair's part?

LOL, can see that Oxy.

How can the commentators so easily forget that KP was given not out.

Chietersen seemed to have gone a step further and being the top bloke that he is made the umpires life easier by pointing out that the ball brushed his pad. Only if there were more people like him

why do we get a wicket every 100 runs?

Because of total unprofessionalism, lack of understanding of the basics and lack of a cricketing education.....and lots lots more. Ithink it's the culture.

I'm not trying to defend what Pietersen did after the initial appeal because, as I mentioned earlier, I haven't actually seen it yet. So it's not possible for me to defend or indeed condem his actions.

My query is as to why so many people seem to think he should have walked. To my knowledge none of the Pakistani batsmen walk with any regurlarity so why the fuss?

excellent point high-lighted.

The answer is that it's the GREAT BRITISH way. No class in their reporting of any event.

Right that's it my patience has gone.

Will you please just shut up and enjoy the game rather than continuously making such crass and unnecessary comments.

I am new member and would not like to raise any hackles (nor am I defending the batsmans decision not to walk) but, I did not see Inzi walking in the last game when he knew the ball had clearly come of his boot
 
I must admit, I never thought Read would ever get back in as long as Fletcher was coach of Eng
 
unlucky Nazir

Poor guys, bowls beautifully , but the umpire and his own team lets him down.

Surely he has to have moved up the order ahead of Gul and Sami now.

The issue was whether it had gone flush from the boot into hand, and not boot-ground-hand.

You need replays to see that.

Totally different issues.

Not a matter of walking son. Its a matter that KP gestured towards his thigh pad to persuade the umpire. That is illegal according to ICC regulations and he should be fined and labelled as a cheat.
 
how many times!!!!!


he did not geture to the umpire but rather to the fielder AFTER the decision had already been made :12:

Point taken. But I am sure Inzi would have known it bouncedd right off his toes and did not go to the ground.

two things he raised his bat right away.....second why would he gesture to the players.......one of the other if you see it full motion his gesture rit away...before the umpire said the words 'not out'

Yes that is certainly not allowed.
 
We're aware of the problem with Pietersen (showing he's out...when he's not). Fixing it shortly. Demons in the system and all that

see even the cricinfo system is being fair
 
Sorry for sounding critical - but the weaknesses that had been swept under the carpet are now getting exposed ...can't field ( not even an avg fielding side ) , can't play the moving ball , can't take catches when it matters ..how on earth are u going to win matches against a quality side in this day and age

welcome english....

Sad to see that you're no different....two totally different scenarios. Inzie's is non comparable...KP (as good as he is) is a cheat in my opinion but a very sly hypocritcal one.
