Well that's an awful way for that to end.

 

[slippy888]

Bad running cost him the historic 200 there

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

You hate to criticise a man who played an innings like that but that was truly abysmal.

 

[Spark]

That honestly should have been 5 penalty runs to Pakistan there.

Yeah amature stuff

What the umpires watching and seeing it might have not effected the outcome but still the rules have to be enforced

You are talking about the fake out by QdK?

You are talking about the fake out by QdK?

Yep. Clearly an attempt to distract and/or deceive the batsman which is illegal under the fake fielding law. 5 penalty runs and not out. Umpire's forgotten the law there.

edit: reading the actual law, it seems they would actually get given the not-completed 2 as well! So really it should have been seven runs, and the batsmen even get to pick who gets to be on strike (not that that would have mattered in this case). And the ball wouldn't have counted, so suddenly it would be 24 off 6!

Well if you want to include that what about the ball hitting Bavuma hat that was 5 runs penalty also.

And from his reaction to it, seemed to have been deliberate. Awful behavior.

Add that too and this game suddenly is a whole lot closer.

I mean "awful" is overegging it, but it's a bizarre miss from the umpires. Seems as obvious a case of where the fake fielding law should be applied as you can get, it's not like QdK was being subtle about his intent.

 

[Heboric]

That was 5 runs ball clearly hit bavuma hat, what the umpires doing sleeping

You might want to read up on the rules before slanting a player

Yeah no that doesn't get included.

 

[slippy888]

24 off 6 balls is doable

Thing is, QdK did say bowler bowler and it can be considered to be a shout out to the fielder, though obviously when he was pointing to the bowler after the throw had come in, it was definitely an attempt to deceive. I am guessing QdK had done enough to get away on a technicality of the original call there. I mean, I think he seeded enough doubt even though I do think it was clearly a deception play now.

At first I thoght he was genuinely calling the throw to be to the bowler. It was only on the replay I figured out he did that.

Does it apply to the hat? I thought it was only helmets?

 

[slippy888]

im not slating bavauma but when his cap fall off and hit the ground the ball cleary hit it

Was not referring to the umpires with the awful remark. Had this happened to an English batsman half of county cricket's pros would be fighting the internet war next day

Right, it's the fact that the ball had already been thrown which makes it really obvious that it's an attempt to deceive, and should have at least have been looked at.

Does it apply to the hat? I thought it was only helmets?

It's more that the hat wasn't placed on the ground deliberately beforehand, it just fell off his head while taking a catch. No one cares about that.

Well yeah but "on the level of English cricket journos" is not a standard the rest of us should be holding ourselves to.
