Butt needs to get another slip in, why have a deep point or even a mid wicket, England are trembling?
 
Well done Umar, that was Hussey-esque; if it happened against us and they claimed it you would've all been spewing.
 
stupid Umar amin..why did he ask for the third umpire,he should've claimed it and may be even batsman might have walked..

It will happen to us but we won't be so lucky. Trust me, this English team don't play in the "spirit" of the game.
 
unexperience of umer amin there soon as he asked for a refer it would have been not out as he has already created doubt in the umpires mind.
 
lol, Asif is unlucky coz he bowls balls that even Bradman would find a hard time nicking they are that good!
 
Terrible cricket by Amin. Buzzkiller. Really disapointing.

Exactly, somehow I dont see Broad or the others doing what Amin did, hell they'd even put up a great show to convince the umps otherwise. Stupd stuff from Amin, but oh well, atleast he's classy.

What hussey did was right he left it on the umpires and batsman and he claimed the catch he never said he was not sure BUT Umar was wrong he should have claimed the catch and should have left it on the umpires

He did that at the Oval aswell and let Cook off three times. Don't know why he doesn't plug the gap in the slips. It's definately something he will learn over time.
 
man Amir woulda taken 5 by now...and we'd be after their tailenders....GOD DARN it.
 
39 cameras at the ground, Sky3D, SkyHD, Hotspot and the best replay Sky can offer to the Prior catch is one grainy replay. I smell a rat.

yeah i was wondering the same thing...why did they only look at through 1 camera??? Seems a bit odd.

Yes there really must've been a better camera angle there. Another jaffa by Aamer.

And if it was Pakistani batsman, you could bet that they'd show all the angles, zoom in and what not to confirm that it was a catch, not that it'd matter cause the English/Saffers/Irish would claim the catch anyway.

That was the thing to do. Maybe Ganja walks

Terrible cricket by PPers, not Amin...

Honesty is something important in life I guess. If someone is cheating, doesnt mean that you have to cheat in response.

I am really amazed at seeing reaction of people out here. Instead of praising his honesty, you guys are criticizing him. Pretty disgusting stuff actually.
 
Ohh man Amir, you are off the mark.
An over and you have not gotten a wicket - what are you doing.

*sarcasm of course*
 
If we keep going at the speed we are, we'll have all of England back in the pavilion before tea. Great for us.

Now here's the tricky part. If we come out to bat today, can we handle the conditions or we'll rush to break even England's collapse record here?

Video shows he took it very clearly.

Also...you think if Amin edged a ball, and umpires didn't give it, he would walk? Because thats a lot more dishonest. This was easily out.

It isn't about his honesty that is making our blood boil...its his stupidity. If he wasn't sure that he took the catch..then its also possible that he might have been unsure that he took it "cleanly" and yet failed to realized that, that in the end he caught it. So what he should have done is just kept quiet and let the umpire handle it.

The rest of the 38 cameras are watching Pakistani pacers 'tamper' the ball I guess!
 
I am really starting to find this west indian commentator annoying.

Top two pakistani bowlers 29 wickets, top two english bowlers 33 wickets. This is why they are leading 2-1. Any idiot would tell you it is not about the bowlers but the fielders. Had we taken our chances it would have been a different story
 
Not his fault on this occasion as it nowhere near carried but what exactly is Butt doing in the slips?

+1

I do have to say it's something fishy, all those cameras and we only got to see one crappy view quickly.
 
Edged and short, unlucy for Asif but played with soft hands from Prior.

Ricky Ponting will have a big smile on his face too.

Same thing happened when Kakmal was batting at Leeds. I think they just don't have that area covered - which is ridiculous.
