MCC v Rest of the World | July 5, 2014 | Lord's

[Bilal7]

Definitely Cricket is fixed if pacers are being told to bowl slower. What a waste of buying a ticket.

A waste would be Gul getting Gilchrist and Sehwag out in his first over. The public came to see him bat, not to see Gul bowl.

 

[Hawkeye]

Lee now touching 80mph while bowling to Sehwag.

 

[zabalestmsm]

Gul shud stop being friendly.

 

[shahidafridi123]

Guys please, need your help. i have jadoo TV and the sports channels are down except for PTV Sports, which isnt showing the game! Any channel in Bangladesh or Afghanistan showing the match?

 

[Munna]

What is Tamim Iqbal doing so high up in a batting order?

 

[Alchemy]

Bowling to Sehwag must have reminded gul of those WC 2011 nights.

 

[Sam18696]

What the heck GUL?

 

[zabalestmsm]

Dude u r right too but we want a competitive match.

 

[IAJ]

Gul struggling to figure out if the batsman is a lefty or right hander

 

[Electron]

Brilliant shot from Sehwag.

 

[Hawkeye]

Sehwag doing WC 2011 to Gul

 

[zane_]

Keeps bowling leg stump. I feel embarrassed for him.

 

[Bilal7]

Commies can't realize that Gul isn't bowling at over 50% capacity.

 

[Sam18696]

lol at crowd

 

[Munna]

Haha, Sehwag still likes tearing Gul apart it seems!

 

[Bashira_taeli]

Gulol

 

[jeetu]

Gul is bowling pretty badly, not much control.

 

[Sam18696]

:4 more

 

[IAJ]

Mohali feeling for Gul

 

[PakFan2010]

Please dont be a disgrace, gul.

 

[Sam18696]

Why is he bowling so slow?

 

[PakFan2010]

Gul is finished, Lost his pace and zip for me

[IAJ]

Right here

 

[dhump]

WTH Gul trundling like no tomorrow.

 

[Bilal7]

Let's see if Tait bowls slow. I doubt they are being told to bowl slow. The way Umar Gul is bowling makes it seem like he doesn't want to be there.

They have been. Gul's run-up is a couple of paces and he bowls much faster than this.

 

[Ahson8]

Umar Gul is probably fasting hence the small run-up and low pace.

 

[jeetu]

Spped gun is faulty for sure - last Brett ball - 45 mph

 

[Bilal7]

Wonder if Ajmal's been told to not spin the ball and KP can't hit any senior for six. This match is losing its appeal if things continue like this.

 

[Batman_DB]

gul still getting smashed by viru good old days

 

[zane_]

They have been. Gul's run-up is a couple of paces and he bowls much faster than this.

I know that. But I'm not certain if he's been told to bowl that way.

 

[Energetic]

Feel bad for people in stadium. This is not even exhibition stuff.

 

[Greenshadow]

This is so boring. No intent shown by anyone, would rather watch football right now.

 

[Electron]

A retired player like Lee seems to be bowling with some purpose, but Gul

 

[Sam18696]

I agree this match looks boring now.

 

[Alchemy]

Pleae dont ruin the match by restraining pace bowling.

 

[Sam18696]

Tait to bowl

 

[Alchemy]

Someone need to tweet Akash Chopra and ask him about the short run ups.

In others news, ITS SHAUN TAITTT.

 

[Munna]

Gul getting replaced by Tait now.

 

[Electron]

Sachin takes Gul off, rightly so.

 

[supernova]

Is this ODI or test match or T20?

 

[jeetu]

Tait on - hopefully some speed there. Starts with 80 mph

 

[Alchemy]

Like a tracer bullet.

 

[Munna]

Gilchrist at his very best

 

[Greenshadow]

Even Tait's trundling.

 

[Sam18696]

lol Tait getting smashed

 

[IAJ]

Right here

 

[Alchemy]

Oh tait.

 

[Hawkeye]

Tait bowling with some pace at least.. 84mph.

 

[Electron]

Great shot. What is Tait's pace ?

 

[zane_]

At least Tait is 80+.

 

[Alchemy]

What are the bowlers doing.

 

[MarkCooper]

The bowling is an embarrassment

 

[Sam18696]

Come on take a wicket
make this match INTERESING

 

[PakFan2010]

Wonder if Ajmal will bowl slow

Gilchrist is still top class. :4

 

[Ahson8]

Lol at MCC's bowling so far.

 

[Haz95]

Gilchrist showing why he's one of the Greatest lefties of all time

 

[Sam18696]

Tait is worse than Gul right now

 

[Smbhayi]

Why cricinfo not cover this match...? The match not started yet there...

 

[jeetu]

Gilchrist is clobbering Tait.

 

[Batman_DB]

tait is getting smashed he was never a good bowler

 

[PakFan2010]

Gilchrist would get into the Pakistan team

[DrSchultz]

Gilchrist now showing mercy to his country-mate.

 

[Munna]

Gilly's reflexes still seem to be working just fine. Has taken his former team mate to the cleaners

 

[Bilal7]

Ajmal gonna have to bowl sooner than expected. I'm not complaining.

 

[zane_]

I think Ajmal will be no holds barred, at least I hope so. He's very competitive.

 

[Hawkeye]

OK it seems pace is not down INTENTIONALLY... Tait bowling above 84mph consistently, even a short ball.. but getting SMASHED by the great Gilchrist )

Now it's even more EMBARRASSING the way Gul was bowling, absolutely shameful.. 73mph bowling :S

 

[Batman_DB]

gul is such a waste

 

[Sam18696]

Gul ko roza lag raha hoga

 

[Electron]

Gulla misfields .. boundary.

 

[jeetu]

At this rate ROW gonna make 400. Hopefully Ajmal will produce some magic.

 

[Haz95]

Why cricinfo not cover this match...? The match not started yet there...

it is http://www.espncricinfo.com/ci/engine/match/713653.html

And I think these lot are bowling crappy on purpose due to the fact that they're bowling to legends and its for entertainment

 

[Alchemy]

Gul is such a disgrace.

 

[Bilal7]

The batsmen are not having mercy, why should the bowlers?

 

[zabalestmsm]

Gul is clearly not fit enough to play at international level.

 

[Sam18696]

None of the players look like they are taking this match seriously.

 

[Batman_DB]

viru gone

 

[Sam18696]

Lee to Sehwag

 

[Haz95]

honestly predicted Sehwag would get bowled on this exact delivery
