[smash84]

The umpiring has been terrible today. And the ****ty team that Pakistan is these days we need these decisions to go in our favor. Kallis, Smith, Alviro, all getting lives. Bloody umpires.

That LBW for Smith early on and then the edge for Peterson was brutal.

 

[Shifter]

Disagree Kallis got a life if your meaning the sweep shot incident. Didn't hit the glove and nothing conclusive that it got a top edge on the way through. Hotspot would of been handy though. I'd say Smith was the more lucky one. He survived something like 3 LBW calls in his innings that all could of gone the other way.

I was talking about the Peterson edge off of Gul which was quite clear.

 

[Shifter]

Yeh the Peterson edge was easily the worst of the day. There's no arguing that Pakistan have got the rough end of it so far.

 

[smash84]

yeah. And Pak usually get the rough end. I so hate it. aaaggghhh

when Aus had their period of dominance all the marginal descisions went their way funny how such things go your way when you are playing and the luck deserts you when you are ****e all round.

True that. I was thinking the exact same thing when I was writing that post.

Alviro's really done well as an opener....

Why is he not in the ODI side ahead of someone like David Miller?

Because Virus bats top 3 and Miller is a finisher/lower order batsman.

Great day for South Africa. Only caught the fag end of play but there seemed to be a far bit of assistance for the seamers and some turn.

 

[TT Boy]

Riaz according to Cricinfo has had a side strain. When it rains for Pak, it bloody well pours.

 

[TT Boy]

Younis Khan bowling...

 

[TT Boy]

Harro needs to do something, either get out or have a swing. Botha would have a been choice as night-watchman.

 

[TT Boy]

A 29 ball duck.

 

[smash84]

29 ball duck. Reminds me of the huge number of balls played ducks by Pak batsmen earlier in the year. Wow Gul has taken 3 wickets this morning

 

[TT Boy]

Decent collapse.

 

[smash84]

329/6 SA. Pak never cease to spring a surprise on everyone...their opponents, their supporters....

 

[Briony]

Must be some pressure mounting on Prince following Duminy's return to form and a failure here.

 

[Xuhaib]

lion hearted spell by Gul.His commitment to Pakistan puts guys like Aamer,Asif,Akhtar to shame.

 

[Athlai]

Gul is amazing, don't rate him that much but he really does leave it all on the field. Chucks his heart at the other team.

yeah especially when you consider that Shoiab might be a real chucker and the two A's are busy chucking money in their bank accounts.
