Why are we not surprised... Umar Akmal was given out and this was not out. Who is the 3rd Umpire again?
 
we have a keeper like Akmal, and 5th bowler like Harris.. honestly how can we except to win matches against top teams
 
Indian umpire what do you expect! blatant joke decision that!
 
WTH was that

Come on ICC. Have some shame
 
How can you not give that out third umpire just guessing. ICC really need to sort this out.
 
Now what the hell is this, umar got out when snicko showed shorter spikes, but this given not out, why they hell ICC have crapiest 3rd umpires in pak matches, last time it was Steve Davis and now S-Ravi, both of whom have patheric record of umpiring blunders.
 
it was not out right decision made, bat against pad, however, one thing is he spent like 30 sec on this review, but for checking that boundary call he took like 5 min. just strange :)
 
I hope we finish our quota in time , last time we were late.

If happens today Misbah will miss out the next match.
 
Excellent decision by S Ravi. Proving why he is one of the best umpires in world cricket.
 
need a wicket here, both batsmen looking to settle in here.

Calm down bro. I feel your pain. However in the case of umar Akmal, the snicko peak was diminished because of background noise and it was clearly out. In this case it was clearly not out.

Its a moot point arguing whether it was the bat hitting the ball or the prior hitting the pad.

Was their enough evidence to ''overturn'' the original decision...thats the important bit...and i cant see how the 3rd Ump can justify that...I think he'd already made up his mind once he saw Bravo shaking his head and immediately going for the review..
 
2 Batsman well settled in now, gonna be hard to get a wicket here. Runs coming easily. Still 300 on the cards.
 
wild drive and miss from samuels, has had some luck so far
 
"Buliyaaaaaa ki jana mein kone ..."

What does this song has to do with cricket played in New Zealand ??
 
Same exact thing going as in the India game .... EASY SINGLES.

No pressure on the batsman.
 
I know what I'm talking about, and he's an average spinner. He's 3-4 years behind where he should have been at this stage. Bowls like a raw 22-23 year old young leg spinner.

He's comfortably below the likes of Tahir.

Not you don't. Tahir is a head of Shah, no doubt about that but look at their age difference. Shah is a wrist spinner, you don't get good wrist spinners blossoming through their early years. Look what happened to Chawla, Mishra,Hogg and even Tahir for example. Wrist spinning is the hardest to bowl, when you try to make little adjustments to your stockball, everything gets messed up and your back to ground zero. It takes years and years master wrist spin bowling. No one expects a 23 year old leg spinner to be good, they know that he might have a good stock ball, decent googly and a not so disguised flipper/slider but they won't expect him to bowl like Warne. Look how many offbreak/left arm bowlers are there in international cricket or even club cricket and compare that number with number of wrist spin bowlers in International cricket or even club cricket. If it was easy and rewarding everyone would be a Leggie/Chinaman even part timers would be bowling wrist spin. Shah is up there with Bishoo, not at Tahir's level but Shah has more potential than Tahir.
 
the 4 oldest players are our best fielders - Younis, Misbah, Afridi, Wahab..
 
Really need a wicket here as W.I starting to build a dangerous partnership here.
