England v Pakistan | Third Test | Day 1 : Session 1 | The Oval | 18/08/10

[SG]

Asif needs to be brought back.

 

[Amjid Javed]

Pakistan have done well here as the wicket is pretty placid!

 

[gangstathe13th]

pieterson is a cheeky little devil, isn't he?
watching riaz's front foot every delivery!

 

[ali_ed2006]

wahab yu the man...can someone tell me how he's bowling? bounce swing etc??

He's bowling quick! not a lot of swing, but good line and length. We've taken our catches so far, that has helped.

 

[MIG]

How come the umpires were checking if it was a no-ball if it wasn't called a no-ball to begin with and there was no referral?

From Cricinfo:

Now then - the batsmen confer and here's something interesting. Pietersen thinks it's a no-ball. The replays confirm KP at the non-striker's end was watching Riaz's front foot and it is very tight, though just a legal delivery. Trott decides not to ask for a review in any case.

Shameful but as they said when KP hit the "dead ball" in the last test , its KP and he is allowed to do these things.

Not in Aussieland you wont. Idiot.

 

[WNC]

Nice to see Wahab getting the wickets.

Well driven down the ground by Collingwood though

 

[AZ]

The replays have me laughing.
As soon as Hameed took the catch, he took off. The Umar Akmal was chasing him dragging him by his sweater. Definitely one for the captions this thread.

haha indeed, that was hilarious!

 

[DW44]

wahab yu the man...can someone tell me how he's bowling? bounce swing etc??

Very fast on a very good line.

 

[KingKhanWC]

Why did Tony Hill heed what KP had to say about the legality of the ball?

Surely, a wrong precedent is being set.

I agree, totally foolish by Hill. If you can't spot a no ball then you don't call it and move on.

 

[NJamal]

Four by Colly

 

[Inswinger]

Lol.....clouds or no clouds....the wicket is a dry wicket and is a batting paradise until Pakistan bat - they will then make it look like a minefield. 2 or 2 wickets max today. 100 odd run opening partnership. Centuries for Strauss and Pieterson.

Legendary predictions!

 

[hamzamunir]

Ramiz Raja: IT WUZ IN PUHHHFECT POSITION....

Fake wannabe English Accent.

 

[bluffmasterv2]

time for aamir to strike !

 

[KA$H]

How come the umpires were checking if it was a no-ball if it wasn't called a no-ball to begin with and there was no referral?

if they're checking the no ball - thats a referral in my book

 

[Seen Sheen]

Nice adjustment by Collingwood....

down the ground for FOUR!!

 

[Digital]

Time to knock KP

 

[akamaka]

wahab yu the man...can someone tell me how he's bowling? bounce swing etc??

nope he not swinging it, just making it go across the right handers, a bit like mitchell johnson, also he's bowling around 90 mph.

 

[WNC]

Chopped on! Hahaha

 

[MIG]

They should change Wahabs designation to (lfs) - s for sifarishi

 

[the Great Khan]

gotta get cuptaan nudge out..he's the dangerman more than kp!!

 

[Seen Sheen]

We need that bit of luck

!!
Ling gone

 

[Maula Jutt]

My boy Aamir gets a wicket!

 

[haizen]

SHADES OF SHANE WATSON hahaha

 

[NJamal]

Gone Colly Gone

 

[bluffmasterv2]

Just as i say it, Aamir strikes !!!!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Collingwood chops on. Aamer gets his man. Whoo Hooo!

 

[ZAK]

[iRfaN_LA]

u SAID it ...Collingwood gone :aamir

 

[Dr. Khan]

went to the restroom and missed Aamirs wicket.

 

[MIG]

Why did Tony Hill heed what KP had to say about the legality of the ball?

Surely, a wrong precedent is being set.

There are no such things as precedents when it comes to Pakistan or India !

 

[Rizie]

This time the tail better dont wag

 

[12cavalry]

Shabaa Amir!!

 

[iHammad]

:aamirrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Collingwood gone!! BOWLED!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[insaftak]

Stand up for the best bowling lineup

Shabash Lads!!!!

 

[the Great Khan]

luv it..as i speak cuptaan nudge is out..bring on the leprechaun!!...

 

[Mujtaba_Saeed]

nudging boy out

 

[thurkeebaba]

...And herein lies the confusion...

Dont know this umpire, but he didnt give a clear edge when Strauss was out; and now he was very reluctant in giving another out!!!

I hope I'm wrong; and the umpire is good fair guy

 

[ZAK]

48/4

Not in Aussieland you wont. Idiot.

And meanwhile Gower and Rameez were going on about how, yes, they think that was a good thing to do....without explaining the rationale behind the whole thing.

That was BS in my opinion.

 

[AZ]

Morgan ko out karooooo

 

[NJamal]

Morgan off the mark

 

[alibaba90]

come on boys

lets go for the kill

 

[Digital]

Aamir you beauty

 

[thurkeebaba]

do you think there would be complaints about the state of the BALL from these rotoos...

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Irishman doesn't fancy pace it seems.

 

[AZ]

uff, beauty from Wahab.

 

[Blistering Barnacle]

if they're checking the no ball - thats a referral in my book

I don't understand what they were doing. If it was not a referral, I don't see why they were checking it on the replays when it wasn't called a no-ball to begin with and there was no referral.

And the commentators did not explain it either.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Wahab enjoying himself out there....

 

[ZAK]

Great bowling Wahab!

 

[Dr. Khan]

Morgan having troubles with the extra pace of wahab.
Aussies would do well to review these vids. I expect something is going to give soon with Morgan facing Wahab.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Irishman doesn't fancy pace it seems.

Irishman si looking like a fisherman atm...

 

[SG]

Super bowling by Pak bowlers. And for a change their fielders are supporting them.

Time for batsmen to get into act.

 

[Digital]

Guys quick question..how old is he .? Riaz

 

[AZ]

good over again from Wahab.

 

[ZAK]

49/4

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Like wahabs aggression.

 

[Kits]

No messing with Wahab

 

[thelandofthebravepeople]

Bring Asif back instead of Wahab.

) ) I think I shouldnt even laugh at you because i feel sorry for you because of your pessimism.How many times this summer you are going to be embarressed .

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

This is marvellous stuff.

 

[bluffmasterv2]

guys quick question..how old is he .? Riaz

25

 

[Amjid Javed]

If Pakistan can have england 6 down by Lunch that would be great!

Pakistans session so far!

 

[KingKhanWC]

Morgan a bit iffy outside off stump. Unlucy Aamer.

 

[thurkeebaba]

Amir bowling beautifully -- great swinging deliveries, both in and out

 

[MAJID-SHAH]

Im liking wahab thus far...

 

[haizen]

Good take by Akmal

 

[GLORY OF '92]

Kami looks good so far.

 

[Seen Sheen]

Guys quick question..how old is he .? Riaz

25 years...

 

[ZAK]

51/4

 

[AZ]

brilliant stuff from Aamer.

 

[12cavalry]

kami isn't doing that bad either

 

[Amjid Javed]

Amin should have got ball in quicker there ffs!

 

[Dr. Khan]

good take by akmal, way down the leg side from Aamir.
Maybe it is good to keep him on his toes with a replacement in the wings.
