Pakistan v South Africa l 1st Test | Abu Dhabi | 11/15/13 | Day 3

[Sledger]

Junaid using the angle, now swing yet.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Smith on a vengeance

 

[Batman]

0/5.

 

[khalil1986]

High full toss, Umpires call on both impact, and stumps and looked too high to naked eye..

I would call that a stupid review

If it was an inch or so lower it would have been out, if umpire had gave the original decision out than it would have been out hardly a stupid review.

by Petersen

 

[hur rizvi]

Thumped for

 

[doctordamor]

If its umpire call than its not stupid review, coz its inches and you go with what you see, few cm down and that was out. So in the end it wasn't bad review

 

[Batman]

No-Ball

 

[Sledger]

High full toss, Umpires call on both impact, and stumps and looked too high to naked eye..

Calling it stupid is just emotional; millimeters were in it, a misjudgment rather than a stupid review. A stupid review would be Ajmal's when batting.

I dont see how umpire will give batsman out on high full toss by a 7 foot bowler

 

[khalil1986]

You don't get it do you? If the ball was 2 inches lower doesn't matter he would have been out on review so hardly a bad review.

 

[hur rizvi]

Not emotional at all, Spinners need reviews, it was too marginal to go for a review

 

[Amjid Javed]

Our seamers needs to show a little more discapline here and not watse the new ball!

 

[hur rizvi]

You don't get it do you? If the ball was 2 inches lower doesn't matter he would have been out on review so hardly a bad review.

If it was two inches lower it would have been a good review, this one wasnt

 

[Sledger]

Beats the edge.

 

[hur rizvi]

IRfan all over the place needs to bowl a decent line on off stump

 

[Red Devil]

Here comes Ajmi

 

[CrowingRooster]

Ajmal in.

 

[hur rizvi]

Too early to bring on Ajmal, just 1 over to Junaid

 

[BHM :D]

Ajmal on

 

[Ahson8]

Interesting, Ajmal to bowl the 4th

 

[razabbas]

pitch dead :-|

 

[doctordamor]

If it was two inches lower it would have been a good review, this one wasnt

Sorry you are wrong, unless you just want some trolling pleasure, it was tactical review if it wasn't hitting at all than you would have been right.

 

[MRSN]

put one more man in slips Misbah.

 

[Ahson8]

Good 1st ball

 

[talma]

The tall and short story

Here it is...

 

[Sledger]

Not emotional at all, Spinners need reviews, it was too marginal to go for a review

All reviews are marginal. It was clipping and was worth a review, the fact that you infer you want to keep the reviews for spinners shows the emotional aspect.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Outside edge.

 

[doctordamor]

Ajmal On

 

[akheR]

Edge first ball = pressure on.

 

[hur rizvi]

Smith using his feet, he is a dangerous batsman in 3rd and 4th innings

 

[Sledger]

Very good first over by Ajmal.

 

[KA$H]

guys what abt Irfan's warning - was it an official warning for running on teh pitch?

 

[Red Devil]

A Direct hit and would have been gone

 

[hur rizvi]

All reviews are marginal. It was clipping and was worth a review, the fact that you infer you want to keep the reviews for spinners shows the emotional aspect.

Who said all reviews are marginal?? You dont get a batsman LBW unless there are three reds (If umpire has given Not out) ??

I think it's other way around, going for a marginal review on 1st ball of the innings is emotional

 

[Sledger]

Great fielding, needed a direct hit.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

excellent effort from Manoor

 

[Asif321]

what a fielding

 

[CrowingRooster]

Good fielding

 

[Red Devil]

guys what abt Irfan's warning - was it an official warning for running on teh pitch?

Yes.

He needs to be careful now

 

[hur rizvi]

Irfan warned again

 

[CrowingRooster]

Nice fielding from Shan.

 

[hur rizvi]

Nicely flicked by peterson...

SA off to a good start

 

[CrowingRooster]

A few more taken.

 

[KA$H]

Irfan warned again

NO! isnt it 2 warnings and your off

 

[Red Devil]

Appeal

 

[Sledger]

I think it's other way around, going for a marginal review on 1st ball of the innings is emotional

Marginal in the broader context, three reds are established by extremely small margins of error, i.e. half a ball width or a few mm outside the line. In this case there were two ambers (marginals) and the decision was cancelled, yet you think it was 'stupid' to ask the question when the ball tracker showed how close it was.

 

[CrowingRooster]

Shout for leg before.

 

[hur rizvi]

Junaid should have bowled a longer spell with new ball

 

[CrowingRooster]

19-0 after 5

 

[Sledger]

Dangerous shot.

 

[hur rizvi]

No turn so far for

 

[Sledger]

19/0, another good over.

 

[razabbas]

Smith attacking :-SS

 

[Red Devil]

 

[Sledger]

First four to Smith.

 

[hur rizvi]

Smith looking decent down the ground

 

[Paradox]

Flat pitch. SA to make 450 odd I reckon.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

 

[doctordamor]

man take off irfan

 

[Red Devil]

Irfan not nearly as disciplined as he was in the first innings

 

[The_Cricket_Devil]

hey pakpassion just got mentioned in the commentary

 

[Sledger]

Waqar wants to bowl spin all day..

 

[hur rizvi]

pitch looks extremely flat, no help for seamers and spinners

 

[MRSN]

need a bit more attacking field.

 

[Sledger]

Full toss swept for one.

 

[hur rizvi]

Rehman would have been useful here, hopefully babar can replicate him

 

[Red Devil]

Dropped

 

[hur rizvi]

Is that dropped??

 

[Sledger]

Dropped?

 

[Sledger]

Smith looking uneasy with his footwork to Ajmal.

 

[GreenKnightRises]

Masood and Manzoor are good fileders

 

[Red Devil]

Ajmal is looking very threatening now

 

[hur rizvi]

Give few overs to Junaid and then go for spin from both ends

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

I smell an wicket

Over Nine, ball three

 

[the Great Khan]
