Shah:

You can't bat
You can't run
You can't field
You can't bowl

What a player.

No wonder he's topp score fro England so far.

It needs to be above shoulder level for a full-toss to be no-ball off a spinner I think.

Really so whats the speed cut off? If a fast bowler bowls a slower ball/cutter above waist height is it ok? what about a spinners quicker one? Surely they shouldn't expect the umpire to judge the speed?

No wonder he's topp score fro England so far.

At least he's managed a strike rate of over 103 this time.

Oh what a load of ****.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Well promoting Foster a ripping ploy.

As I was saying, let's see what Dimi can do.

Absolutely sweet Fanny Adams it seems. Feck!

 

[Scaly piscine]

Absolute clowns.

Even if England manage two wins their run rate will be poor at this rate.

 

[S Chanderpaul]

Time for Swann to show them how to bat.

Should of been in before the usless Collingwood, Foster and Dimi.

 

[TT Boy]

Oh dear.

 

[popepouri]

Gone! Rofl you beauty.

 

[jondavluc]

I love it when batsmen get out playing those stupid dicky reverse sweeps.

and Dimi is out too. England are falling apart here.

 

[wpdavid]

Well promoting Foster a ripping ploy.

.... and we've seen a few of those in this campaign.

Not that Dimi managed any better.

We won't make 100 here, will we? Curse Pak for being so dire on Sunday. They only had to be competent to spare us this pile of ****e.

 

[Scaly piscine]

What a complete ****ing shower of ****.

I really appreciate your optimism. England will be royally thumped by India and their game against WI could be inconsequential.

 

[TT Boy]

What a cricketer Kallis is.

 

[gvenkat]

England are pathetic.. Atleast the Aussies got out of the tournament early.. England are embarassing themselves, this after qualifying..

Yeah it's a grey area. I guess it's left to the discretion of the umpire. Here's the law (7.b):. There's no mention of a speed limit.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Preferred it when these wastes of space were getting booed.

 

[grecian]

Fair play to the Saffies, they're looking faintly embarrassed about getting this shower out.

 

[Langeveldt]

Quite a funny match, wouldn't the Netherlands have been a better opponent? Can they play against Australia this summer?

Good to see Cricinfo refuses to dumb down though

Still time for England to post a competitive. They just need both these batsmen to go absolutely mental


I'd give my right nut to have a job that involved text commentary updates and watching cricket all day.. Looks like they've employed someone with about as much nouse as Stuart Broad

 

[TT Boy]

Even if they slog good they will only make 120/30. Wicket still looks like a belter.

Be interesting how South Africa chase. Go El Loco for run-rate or just secure victory in the first six overs by playing it safe.
