[the_game]

Shoaib needs to correct this falling over habit if he wants to stay an opener. Looks horrendous when it leads to dismissals.

 

[Amjid Javed]

[Amjid Javed]

single for hafeez down ground.

Pak 22/1

 

[Big Mac]

Strauss was plumb too but they give Malik out!

Well Malik was absolutely 100% plumb, with the Strauss decision the umpire had reasonable grounds to doubt whether it pitched outside legstump or not

 

[Amjid Javed]

He edged it though according to snicko.

ok!

 

[Big Mac]

He edged it though according to snicko.

No way Doctrove thought he edged it though, he gave it not out because he thought it was outside legstump.

 

[TaZ]

What you saying Rob? Eng or pak to win?

 

[Amjid Javed]

Well Malik was absolutely 100% plumb, with the Strauss decision the umpire had reasonable grounds to doubt whether it pitched outside legstump or not

The ball pitched pretty straight in line with middle and leg!

 

[Rob H]

ok!

There were 2 noises. Look earlier in the thread and see Easa's huge change of opinion from cursing the umpires to "a good decision"

 

[Amjid Javed]

Single For YK down to thirdman.

Pak 23/1

 

[garbage_can2003]

He edged it though according to snicko.

OK!

 

[yk]

Don't panic guys....Malkoo will come good.

 

[Big Mac]

The ball pitched pretty straight in line with middle and leg!

Erm no...it just about pitched in line with legstump.

He practically opened when he was at number 3 anyway.

 

[iZeeshan]

[yk]

4444444444444444 by feezu

Pak 42/1

 

[iZeeshan]

[iZeeshan]

Anotehr hook for 4...or is it a top edge?

 

[Amjid Javed]

4 more over point! go hafeez go!

 

[Big Mac]

Hafeez tried to pull a short ball from Gough but realises at the last moment that it's quicker than he originally anticipated so he decides to top edge it over the keepers head instead. It was deliberate...honest.....

 

[Gunner786]

is it just me or does this feel like a county game?

 

[Rob H]

in the air but 4 more. 2 poor balls and 2 boundaries.

 

[Gunner786]
