so you are saying that Akthar is a match fit? How many runs he saved in the last match? how many runs he has saved so far? is he still fielding out there? Bowling better doesn't earn you a place in the team.

He should get fitter but this isnt about his fielding its his bowling.. you cant win a match with a team full of fielders

how about play some player on wheel chair who can bat and bowl? If this type of thinking we would have then god bless our team.

at least no one will complain about a long run up then :))) :)))
 
Watson has only two shots: pull and the cut, and we keep bowling short to him so he can pull it for four, really bad planning against him.
 
This is a good pitch for batting so run rate of 5 isnt too bad.. i think if we can keep them down to 270 we have a chance
 
just wake up and saw that Fawad still did not get a game. So he is the only team member who did not get a chance to play. A very despised attitude from the team management. I would say rot in hell.

If our batsman play well so far in most of the matches they have let us down after a good performance by the bowlers

They probably do circus acts together. "worlds tallest man with worlds smallest man"
 
Bowden is undoubtedly one of the worst umpires in international cricket.
 
clarke cheated and fooled billy by showing his bat which was nowhere near

Absolutely - hate it when players do that. In football they get yellow cards for it, in cricket there should be some sort of punishment for it too.
 
Well done Gul! Why he was dropped in the last game we shall never know!

Yes, there should definitely be punishment for trying to interfere with the umpire's decision.

For the moment though justice done, as Clarke has gone.

Totally agreed...YK so far (in ODIs) have proven no better than Malik...who was renowned not tgo give proper (full) chances to youngsters; seems like YK has picked right where from Malik left a few months ago!

I am so mad that I can literally slap YK and Inti Binti :inti

On a second thought, if a bowler and fielders can dance and impose their view on umpire to get the decision on their way, why can't the batsman try to get something on his way.

Final decision is umpires.

I guess you gotta point there
 
Good knock by Watson. But he needs to accelerate after a few overs. Would love to watch Symonds bat well too.

He is a footballer plays for arsenal.In yesterdays game against portsmouth ref gave them a penalty when it should have been a corner he clearly indicates to ref that it was not a pen and points to corner.now thats a first for me.
 
Fielder's return hit Malik's left thumb but i think hes ok

That's the trouble. the final decision is umpire's and we know they get affected by reputations.

I have no problems in penalizing overly aggressive appeals as well. However, there is a difference between bowlers/fielders appealing (even if they know it's not out) and a batsman participating in the process. A batsman has no business in this affair and should keep out of it, whereas the fielding side is supposed to appeal as per laws.
 
What is Watson doing? whats the need of taking power play and make 1 run from an over. They could have scored more if there was no power play.
 
I guess younis knows what hes doing.. Malik gets Symonds. Thats a big wicket
 
I am so angry coz of Fawad Alam not being in the playing XI... I dont feel like watching this game even if Pak are in a winning position!

Very well said

so the final say is that bowlers appeal by law whereas batsmen have no justification of doing what Indians and Australians do

but again ICC would not implement it so don't worry Indian friends
 
Yes as long as they just apeal. But now a days the apeals are over imposing. So its fair thing by the batsmen to say bat was there if they have. You can see a lot of inside edges are being given as LBWs. The batsman gets only one life per game and hence I don't mind what clarke did as long as its to that level only.
 
What is shoaib malik doing??? He is bowling doosra, he can be reported for suspect action again so he better stop that!

Its nothing Indian or Australian.

Its about whether you feel it fair or not.

I feel its not unfair looking at the way now a days bowlers appeal to influence LBW and caught behind decisions.
