ajmal pathetic

 

[ZAK]

55/0

 

[IAJ]

Batsmen trying to unsettle the spinners here

 

[JibranAnsari]

misbah should have gone for 3 seamers

 

[ZAK]

to Smith

 

[Fawad_Bhai]

Bring to bowl

 

[NJamal]

Saffers are butchering our spinners

 

[NJamal]

[Random Aussie]

the same way they get money to organize World Cups and Champions Trophies.

sponsorships.

And the money they make from those events is distributed to the boards of each country. Don't blame ICC because PCB would rather spend that money on overseas travel for officials and their families. They get way more than enough to cover UDRS. But no doubt everything the PCB does is somehow the fault of the ICC.

By the way is there a match on or is this the umpire commentary thread?

ouch RA

[NJamal]

What was that?

am not blaming anyone, this point was made by Mike Haysman, not me.

if the ICC standardized UDRS it wouldn't be an issue.

 

[ZAK]

Smith is trying to sweep everything.

 

[IAJ]

You can see the difference in behaviour in Akmal darmyana's cap-ceremony and Zoni's ceremony. The latter didn't even get a cap.

 

[ZAK]

63/0

 

[JibranAnsari]

isnt it very very boring?

 

[IAJ]

Akmal darmyana: ghomay gha

 

[Fish]

am not blaming anyone, this point was made by Mike Haysman, not me.

if the ICC standardized UDRS it wouldn't be an issue.

So what did the ICC do to stop the PCB from using UDRS in this series?.

 

[AZ]

controversy here:

Kami says ghoomay gi
Adi says ghoomay ga

conflict in the Akmal camp?!

 

[NJamal]

Ajmal is bowling too much on the leg side

 

[ZAK]

68/0

 

[NJamal]

 

[ZAK]

to Pieterson

 

[NJamal]

Misbah field placement is pathetic. He is following the ball

 

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

ridiculous play by pakistan

neither of these spinners can spin the ball...ugh whats the use...watch botha and harris spin it square in our first innings

 

[NJamal]

444444444444

 

[JibranAnsari]

pakistani ballers being taken to cleaners

 

[iZeeshan]

We're getting mauled

 

[ZAK]

more to AP

 

[IAJ]

The blunder from the umpire really hurting now. Petersen approaching his fifty.

 

[JibranAnsari]

is it the worst bowling attack pakistan has ever played?

 

[ZAK]

Why has Wahab bowled only 4 overs?

 

[NJamal]

80/0 saf

 

[SOSami]

Seriously, someone needs to fire harper. I thought the icc monitored their umpires.closely? This guy is an imposter.

 

[MRSN]

need a wicket or two b4 lunch

 

[ZAK]

80/0

 

[JibranAnsari]

there wont be any wicket , theres no wicket taker

 

[WNC]

Just tuned in, any catches dropped so far?

 

[NJamal]

Wahab back into attack

 

[ZAK]

81/0

 

[JibranAnsari]

the legacy continues, defensive captaincy.

 

[ZAK]

Riaz comes back into the attack.

 

[hashbb]

All this, and Amla, de villers and Kallis yet to come

 

[AZ]

So what did the ICC do to stop the PCB from using UDRS in this series?.

is the word 'standardise' not showing up on your computer screen?

as long as they leave the decision to be made by the boards, it will never get fully implemented.

 

[ZAK]

87/0

 

[ZAK]

88/0

 

[kkmix]

This is the most boring game that Pakistan has been involved in so far.

 

[AZ]

fifty for Alviro.

 

[iZeeshan]

Should've had Sami

Maybe the pace would've worked

Rehman is absolutely useless

Alviro 50, should've been out on 0

 

[ZAK]

50 for Pieterson.

Well played AP.

 

[Fish]

is the word 'standardise' not showing up on your computer screen?

as long as they leave the decision to be made by the boards, it will never get fully implemented.

So the ICC is made up of directors from the boards. The ICC is controlled by the boards of the cricket playing nations.

 

[MRSN]

So what did the ICC do to stop the PCB from using UDRS in this series?.

why doesn't ICC say goodbye to umpires who are continuously making dumb decisions

 

[JibranAnsari]

such a toothless bowling attack , from best bowling attack in the world we have now a miserable bowling attack.

 

[ZAK]

91/0

 

[JibranAnsari]

azhar ali starts the misfileds

 

[ZAK]

such a toothless bowling attack , from best bowling attack in the world we have now a miserable bowling attack.

This pitch is not conducive for fast bowlers. IMO even Aamir and Asif would've struggled on this pitch.

 

[oracleg]

idiotic fielding by azhar ali.

we're not even interested in getting the opposition run-out. containing them to below 500 will be a miracle at this rate.

 

[Amir]

UDRS or no UDRS....it still doesn't explain why Harper is just so sh*t.

 

[JibranAnsari]

This pitch is not conducive for fast bowlers. IMO even Aamir and Asif would've struggled on this pitch.

not really the ball was doing a lot in first hour , but wahab was useless as he cant swing with the new ball and theres no third seamer , this is as pathetic it can get

 

[Afridi_Fan]

This is brilliant test match cricket.

Now where is my biryani.

 

[spoiled]

what will become of this match
batting and more batting for sa
gul is opening the bowling with wahab
ajmal and rehman
has there been a bowling attack (i dont want to the word but) worse than this for pakistan

 

[ZAK]

96/0

 

[JibranAnsari]

wahab is no-way a test bowler.

 

[Imy]

Wen has a spinner deliverd for Pak in the last ten years

 

[aamerfan]

off to sleep i go

umps ruined this for me

 

[ZAK]

99/0

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Ajmal's Last over was pretty good. It seems he is slowly but surely finding his rhythm...

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Wen has a spinner deliverd for Pak in the last ten years

Afridi, Arshad Khan and Kaneria Vs India in Inzy's 100th test maybe?

 

[Zoab_Khan]

Why Wahab and Sami chosen over these guys?

Junaid Khan
Fayyaz Butt
Sohail Khan,
Sohail Tanvir
Mohammad Talha
Anwar Ali

 

[ZAK]

Hafeez into the attack now.

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

This must be the last over before lunch.. Certainly not a good start for us. But Umpires especially Harper did very poor umpiring..

 

[ZAK]

100/0

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Pretty Smooth Keeping by Adnan there..

 

[ZAK]

Lunch

101/0

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Positives so far.

Good over rate.

 

[*sallu*]

Depressing

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

So, its Lunch and SA 101/0 though it could easily be 101/2 . Well Done Anti- Pakistan Umpires..

 

[Afridi_Fan]

Depressing

CLASS game.

 

[Passion4Pakistan]

Normally We see 800-1100 Posts per session.. Today its less than 500.. It shows we are not in good position..
