    ***Official*** England in Pakistan

    Hair did talk to inzy not afridi after the incident so maybe he believes the captain is responsible for his players actions as much as the player is...

    Okay, my mistake on number 1, I misread and thought you were trying to argue if Afridi gets banned then so should Hair. Look, if a mistake has been made then something should be put to the umpires to explain themselves, if they were just ignorant of the rule then that's a poor excuse because...

    As an aside do you think the players were nervous when they had that drinks break after the explosion. I mean someone was driving a potential pepsi can bomb straight at them... now that would've made a mark on the wicket...

    Review the umpire's performance and if he has made a massive howler then he should spend a couple of weeks back in domestic cricket or something similar. I'm saying what afridi did is sinister because it was a deliberate attempt to affect the playing surface. Umpire = wrong, afridi = insane :)

    But a mistake, an honest mistake, is not a violation. It's an error and these happen from time to time although they shouldn't. Lara's dismissals in three of his four innings in Australia have been errors not violations. Afridi's was a violation because it was a deliberate act outside the rules...

    If I got a delivery like the one he sent down to Vaughan I'd be taking him seriously :p

    Why a violation? Harmison shied, hit the stumps and appealed... now if Inzi was evading and therefore not attempting a run the decision should have been not out, it was the umpire's call, you can't say appealing because you hit the stumps and believe a guy is out is a clear violation, until...

    Couldn't agree more, I think he's a far more reliable and consistent bowler than akhtar.

    Okay, but that doesn't compare to deliberately trying to create a rough patch on the centre of the wicket does it? A bad decision is a bad decision and it is regrettable but try to tell me Afridi just got a case of the boogie woogie fever and wasn't looking to gain an advantage?

    Do you reckon Botham was getting a bit carried away by it all... think he likes a bit of sensation doesn't he...

    Certainly not worthy of a massive reaction but it's not on is it? It is cheating basically...

    ***Official*** England in Pakistan

    Afridi dance As the players were all looking at what had exploded on the boundary he got into the middle of the pitch just about a good length and did a full pirouette (360) with his spikes to create nice little patch of rough for him and Danish... Unlucky for him but Darrell Hare saw it and...

    ***Official*** England in Pakistan

    Did anyone notice KP's little move as he came off the pitch... think he's looking to audition for idol... quite right though, what afridi did was deliberate and an attempt to gain an unfair advantage... that's cheating in anyone's books...

    And yes it is racist, but probably more so overseas than it is here...
