Bloody soccer. Pity most Asian people dont like cricket.

Lasith!! Legend

Malinga you champ!

 

[KiWiNiNjA]

Another dire call? Pitch outside off?

 

[Fiery]

Dire. No doubt there eh Rudi?

 

[Natman20]

Goodbye New Zealand! SL vs. Aus will be an interesting final and I look forward to it. That is if Aus can beat SA

Wah? :|

They showing the ManU vs. Milan game?

Fleming gone, LBW to Malinga. I must say, I thought the ball was missing the stumps for a start. Be interesting to see how Ross Taylor goes.

Toldya Flem would get a questionable one.

Doesn't matter if it pitches outside off, it's whether it strikes his pad in line if he's playing a shot

Yer mate. On Sky Sports 2 (SS 1 has the cricket).
So I gotta wait for an hour and a half till the game is over - a whole bunch of Asian guys finished their gaming and moved off to the couches to watch the soccer. I move off the couch, to a PC, and log on

Its a bit dire, but thats how it goes, I guess.

Thats what I meant!!!

Hit the pad outside off

 

[Perm]

I have high hopes for Fulton today, he has the temperament to play the right kind of knock.

Hit the pad outside off

Dunno about that. Granted I did not see it, but cricinfo has it thus:

Malinga to Fleming, OUT, Got 'em, that was a ripper! Full and pacy, close to 150kph, pitching on off and moving in. Fleming can't read the movement and bat is nowhere near the ball as it crashes into his front pad. Massive appeal and Koertzen raises the slow finger of death. Replays indicate that the ball was going on to hit the top of off. Fleming gone. Big wicket

OK, thought you might have meant that. I've got guys in my team who've been playing cricket for 20 years and still don't understand the lbw laws properly

 

[Natman20]

They have to at least play some strokes to have a game on our hands!

Close to 150kph? I thought it was just over 140kph. It was just clipping the top of off stump according to HawkEye, but I certainly thought it was going to miss.

 

[Beleg]

it was hit or miss. you can't really blame the umpire in this case.

Looked dubious to the naked eye. Do doubt in Mt Koertzen's mind though

Very poor game for NZ. Someone will have to do something extra special now. Very poor stuff
