Domestic cricket bully .

O ok and another 4444444 by super lucky KP

[ali_ed2006]

i think we need to sledge these 2.

[ShowStopper]

I'm not sure how many more chances you want him to have?

As many as Sami:P

[The_Cricket_Devil]

nothing to say except sexy shot to that drive for 4 by kp

[Oxy]

As many as Sami:PIm sure Ramps played more than 50 tests - Sami has had half that.

[iZeeshan]

Beauty shot from KP, have to give him that. Classy stuff.

[CricketJunoon]

We need a wicket before tea

[The_Cricket_Devil]

the way bumble said " o nice o yes" to kp's shot sounded so wrong

[zMario]

This is getting more frustrating :(

[zMario]

the way bumble said " o nice o yes" to kp's shot sounded so wrong
:)))

[cavin420]

Originals Only.

But Royal Mail deliver by 9am GUARANTEED next day.

I think I'll sell them on Ebay to fans who like to buy unused tickets (wierdos)

4 more to kp.....this is torture :(

217 for 4

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Im sure Ramps played more than 50 tests - Sami has had half that.

[zMario]

i think we need to sledge these 2.
That might not work...

[Salman]

Six

[The_Cricket_Devil]

66666 what a shot by kp

[zMario]

Oh ****...

[iZeeshan]

ANother great shot from KP. He's well set and looking for 200, after being out on 0.

TAKE OFF KANNY.

[cavin420]

66666666666666666666666666666

kp :11:

[iZeeshan]

Commentators say luck like Farhat dropped two catches. But it was disgusting umpriing.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

time for tea now

224-4 at the end of the session

27.5 overs 114 runs 1 wkt

[Salman]

England Session @ Tea :12:

[zMario]

Aww, man we need MORE WICKETS

I WANT TO BAT TODAY

[cavin420]

Cha time.

[Billy]

Not sure what 'Wobbles was doing earlier but at least KP hasn't holed out to long on... yet.

[Oxy]

guess you should have ebayed it a lot more sooner , every one i know would love sunday's and mondays ticket's sorry :)

...but I'm not looking to sell them - I WAS looking to give them away....

[shan]

joder Pieterharamison making full of he's luck today

[Salman]

Danish Kaneria 12 1 38 0 3.16

only 62 more runs before we might get a wicket...

[Oxy]

joder Pieterharamison making full of he's luck today
What?????

[shan]

Danish Kaneria 12 1 38 0 3.16

only 62 more runs before we might get a wicket...

there should have been another fast bowler in place of kaneria

[iZeeshan]

And its tea. Well KP has had his luck.

Problem is England is going at a very good rate. They not batting slow at all. Pak need to get at least one more today, and hopefully that of KP.

[zMario]

there should have been another fast bowler in place of kaneria
Err, and no spinner? We need a spinner..

[cavin420]

And its tea. Well KP has had his luck.

Problem is England is going at a very good rate. They not batting slow at all. Pak need to get at least one more today, and hopefully that of KP.
1 more ? you got to be kidding me :)))

we need to get them all out today or at least 8 down before the end of days play to stand any chance of winning this one.

[Daoud]

What?????
He meant ********** is taking full toll of his luck. I dont mind a batsman not walking but to influence the umpire when he hit the ball is cheating :12:

[shan]

Err, and no spinner? We need a spinner..

for what? to give away 100 free runs withour taking wicket?

[razzler]

I am not worried at all. We will win this one.

[TaZ]

This series is a nightmare for us. Injuries all over the place. Dropped catches aplenty at lords and now the umpires are making sure england have 10 batsman before read comes in. Might sound like excuses but we've really had the worst luck ever. Let's hope inzi and MoYo get a couple of lives each!!

[cavin420]

...but I'm not looking to sell them - I WAS looking to give them away....
ok sorted, do you want me to pm you or want my msn ?

[Muyazzim Khan]

What?????


Joder is a colourful spanish word oxy

[shan]

Joder is a colourful spanish word oxy

how did u know that? :20:

[pak4life]

please not another england century cant stand the sight of them celebrating especialy when they should have been out 3/4 times

[zMario]

please not another england century cant stand the sight of them celebrating especialy when they should have been out 3/4 times
Ye!

[infamous9383]

224 for 4 definately need to get one of the two before 25o

[zMario]

224 for 4 definately need to get one of the two before 25o
I'm hoping we get them under 275 all out and then we can have a bat today, possibly get 50/0 if we're lucky :P

[iZeeshan]

1 more ? you got to be kidding me :)))

we need to get them all out today or at least 8 down before the end of days play to stand any chance of winning this one.


Hell you talking abt? This match is very evenly tied. This is a good ptich to bat on. One more wicket today will be enough to keep Pak in the keep, though we obviously need more.

[ShowStopper]

Give our players some REDBULL. if in nest 5 overs we don't get KP and an Bell then we may be down and dusted.

[iZeeshan]

I'm hoping we get them under 275 all out and then we can have a bat today, possibly get 50/0 if we're lucky :P

That's quite the far-fetched well-wishing.

[iZeeshan]

Sami to open the bowling.

[iZeeshan]

First ball for a single.

[infamous9383]

Sami to open the bowling.

good news

[Oxy]

ok sorted, do you want me to pm you or want my msn ?I'm keeping them. To punish myself. Also, I cant be bothered getting off my butt to post them etc.

Thats why I offered them to anyone yesterday....

[Oxy]

Who do we have as a '5th bowler' today?

[infamous9383]

i thought it was going for 4

[zMario]

Why the heck is Sami bowling on their pads/legs
He is so stupid...

[zMario]

Who do we have as a '5th bowler' today?
Salman Butt

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Who do we have as a '5th bowler' today?

inzi has been practicing :D

[iZeeshan]

Too many easy singles for England. Not good stuff from captain.

[infamous9383]

good plan with short ball

[PlanetPakistan]

Who do we have as a '5th bowler' today?
Younis Khan :(

[Daoud]

Why the****is Sami bowling on their pads/legs?

He is so stupid...
It really is 10 vs 14

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Younis Khan :(

[The_Cricket_Devil]

kp just swinging now against danish

[infamous9383]

[zMario]

Cmon Dani!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

[infamous9383]

[infamous9383]

good fielding by gul

[iZeeshan]

If only Hair wasn't blind...

[The_Cricket_Devil]

garbage delivery by sami and a good effort to try and stop the ball but it was a 4 all the way to kp

[iZeeshan]

Great shot to leg for 4.

[zMario]

WHY THE HELL IS SAMI STILL BOWLING

If he bowls, he needs to bowl outside the off stump, GEEZ THIS IS SO ELEMENTARY

[The_Cricket_Devil]

kp having some trouble with his forearms

[iZeeshan]

kp having some trouble with his forearms

He's always having troube with something...he's such a spoiled brat.

[shan]

thanks to umpires we are in this position

[Salman]

new Avatar time..

[zMario]

Woohoo, KP in trouble, now lets see if we can get him out because of the break!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

[zMario]

[zMario]

time wasting here and hair is talking to kp for a long period here hmm...
Maybe he'll get bowled due to the break, but it'll be a no ball :P

[Salman]

[The_Cricket_Devil]

smashed for 4 by kp right after the break

[The_Cricket_Devil]

[iZeeshan]

Another great strike from KP. Moves onto 99* after geting out on 0. Batting must be hard for him...

[infamous9383]

Kp on 99

[infamous9383]

more pain for KP

[Daoud]

Another great strike from KP. Moves onto 99* after geting out on 0. Batting must be hard for him...
Against Sami, you'll want to bat even if you're on a hospital bed with a drip connected to your vains

[The_Cricket_Devil]

goddamit hurry it up already u ***** kp

[Somali Pirate]

If only Hair wasn't blind...

HAHHAAHAHA...Inzi just dove!

[The_Cricket_Devil]

:14:.....hundred

[iZeeshan]

There is is 100. ******* has the time to clebrate like a madwack. Even Mohammd Yousuf didnt celebrate that much when he made his mistake-free 200.

[umarbeast]

cheater gets his century

[infamous9383]

hundred fro KP and well fielded inzi before that

[fakhar]

good one cricket devil....:)

[Daoud]

Well played **********

[Amir]

What a 100! That is the most undeserving 100 I have seen in ages! WHAT PLAYER!

KP: "Yeah thanks, I think Iplayed well if you disclude the two times I was out. But like it was a great partnership between me and Hair....I couldn't have done it without him...."

[infamous9383]

He looked like he broke lara's record

[infamous9383]

somebody please get sami out of the attack

[Daoud]

What a 100! That is the most undeserving 100 I have seen in ages! WHAT PLAYER!

KP: "Yeah thanks, I think Iplayed well if you disclude the two times I was out. But like it was a great partnership between me and Hair....I couldn't have done it without him...."
:))) :))) :)))

[APOCALYPSE]

had some luck but credit it where it is due.........fantastic innings.........a joy to watch

[iZeeshan]

What a 100! That is the most undeserving 100 I have seen in ages! WHAT PLAYER!

KP: "Yeah thanks, I think Iplayed well if you disclude the two times I was out. But like it was a great partnership between me and Hair....I couldn't have done it without him...."

:))) :)))

[infamous9383]

well fielded

[Bilsher007]

I am very disappointed with kaneria and sami as usual has been rubbish. Samiullah niazi being a left hand bowler would have been a better option. Perhaps if afridi was'nt dropped than pakistan could have done better with kaneria not performing.

[Billy]

Well there it is, the best century in the history of cricket ever... but enough about my stick cricket efforts.

Well done Kev, not a classic for obvious reasons but they do all count at the end of the day.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

gr8 ball agn by dani boi!

[iZeeshan]

had some luck but credit it where it is due.........fantastic innings.........a joy to watch

How the hell is it a joy to watch when you know he was out.

[infamous9383]

extra bounce for kaneria

[infamous9383]

good over just 1 run

[Bilsher007]

Great batting by peitersen, a joy to watch but sadly peitersen has'nt proved to be a decent enough sportsman to walk off when he was rightly out.

[infamous9383]

pretty good ball from sami

[ali_ed2006]

and sami the joke continues

[fakhar]

how come inzi is not replacing sami with nazir...sami needs to be out of the attack..he is pathetic

[Billy]

Great batting by peitersen, a joy to watch but sadly peitersen was proved to be a decent enough sportsman to walk off when he was rightly out.

Do you really think he should have walked?

[iZeeshan]

Why is Sami bowling bouncers? He's is a joke. Even though he picked up 2 wickets.

[fakhar]

58 more runs to go for kaneria to get his first wicket.

[umarbeast]

why do we get a wicket every 100 runs?

[iZeeshan]

Do you really think he should have walked?

Yes he should have. There should be an honesty factor in this game, because umpires are very biased these days.

[TaxiDriver]

Well played KP...cricinfo made some of shots sound exquisite. Well played..once again.

I'm sure all the english fans are proud of you. No matter how you cheat.

I'm still fuming...seething actually. Hope what goes around..comes around. If there is any justice in this world. The persecutors carry on with their hypocrisy's

[iZeeshan]

Good fielding by Kami.

[TaxiDriver]

Do you really think he should have walked?
Billy boy...please do not try to defend KP's actions...you sound ignorant when you do (and no offence intended...just stating facts).

Please explain...if he wasn't cheating than why was he signalling to the umpire? And please do not patronise anyone.

[Salman]

Minimum overs remaining today 30.3

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

somebody tell me how is danish gonna getting a wicket from bowling from here....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..........danish you are over

[Oxy]

In today's game - very few players walk.

They aregue (right;y/wrongly) that the umpire is there to make a decision.

BUT WHY THE HELL DID PAK NOT OBJECT TO DARRELL HAIR?? Especially after the last tour.

Unfinished business on Hair's part?

[ex-opener]

im sorry but if afridi razzaq can be droped why not sami what does this guy have to do to be dropped!!
on paper the team looks really weak


i think sami must have a sister who will marry bob
thats the only explanation i can give for playin sami

[iZeeshan]

LOL, can see that Oxy.

How can the commentators so easily forget that KP was given not out.

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

danish blooddy......u r a real wat they call a flat track bully.....monty is so much better...

[iZeeshan]

ANd Sahid is back on...

[iZeeshan]

And its another soft 4...

[infamous9383]

another 4 for kp

[Daoud]

In today's game - very few players walk.

They aregue (right;y/wrongly) that the umpire is there to make a decision.

BUT WHY THE HELL DID PAK NOT OBJECT TO DARRELL HAIR?? Especially after the last tour.

Unfinished business on Hair's part?
********** seemed to have gone a step further and being the top bloke that he is made the umpires life easier by pointing out that the ball brushed his pad. Only if there were more people like him

[TaxiDriver]

why do we get a wicket every 100 runs?
Because of total unprofessionalism, lack of understanding of the basics and lack of a cricketing education.....and lots lots more. Ithink it's the culture.

[infamous9383]

bell my mistake

[shan]

at this rate England will score 380 runs

[ex-opener]

somebody tell me how is danish gonna getting a wicket from bowling from here....grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr..........danish you are over


danni boy is bowlin very well with out any luck
he is still gettin the odd edge

[BroskiBeat]

he WASNT signalling to the umpire he signalled to the fielder AFTER the decision had been made. Whos ignorant now?

[iZeeshan]

thAt swung in a bit for nzir

[Oxy]

I think there are 2 Pakistani fans in the crowd today.

[Salman]

dropped Butt

[The_Cricket_Devil]

Butt Drops It!!!

[Billy]

Billy boy...please do not try to defend KP's actions...you sound ignorant when you do (and no offence intended...just stating facts).

Please explain...if he wasn't cheating than why was he signalling to the umpire? And please do not patronise anyone.

I'm not trying to defend what Pietersen did after the initial appeal because, as I mentioned earlier, I haven't actually seen it yet. So it's not possible for me to defend or indeed condem his actions.

My query is as to why so many people seem to think he should have walked. To my knowledge none of the Pakistani batsmen walk with any regurlarity so why the fuss?

[Big Mac]

ffsffsffsffsfffsffsffsffs

[TaxiDriver]

LOL, can see that Oxy.

How can the commentators so easily forget that KP was given not out.

excellent point high-lighted.

The answer is that it's the GREAT BRITISH way. No class in their reporting of any event.

[Oxy]

And Salman Butt joins the party - pathetic fielder

[iZeeshan]

Straigt catch to Butt, and he dropps it. DISGUSTING!

[Salman]

peitersen OFF?????????????

[ex-opener]

butt drops him off shahid nazir

[shan]

what a fielder

[iZeeshan]

Petey bhai going off the field.

[Oxy]

Geoff Boycott's grandmother would show more dynamism in the field than Salman's Butt.

[Uzzy]

What a **** fielder!

[Salman]

Retired Hurt... Chris Read IN.

[iZeeshan]

Hopefully we can get Read right away!

[Oxy]

peitersen OFF?????????????I think he was warned for laughing at the Pak fielders 3 times - so he's off....

[Salman]

Come in Nazir...!!!! Get Read!!!

[TaxiDriver]

BUTT saab...you are looking stupid in front of us mate. go back to putting oil in your hair.

[Somali Pirate]

does'nt salman ever train on his fielding?

Its been a year and he still useless

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

looser cricketers....aholes for sure.....i feel like breaking somthing....my blood is burning...u idiots.....so much for u fudging specialists

[Oxy]

I want Read to get some runs - dont want to see GoYo back in.

[BroskiBeat]

too right! about time Notts had an England representation

[Billy]

excellent point high-lighted.

The answer is that it's the GREAT BRITISH way. No class in their reporting of any event.

Right that's it my patience has gone.

Will you please just shut up and enjoy the game rather than continuously making such crass and unnecessary comments.

[Salman]

Read - Inside edge for 4... GAY

[Oxy]

Read off the mark to streaky edge for 4.

[Indiafan]

Billy boy...please do not try to defend KP's actions...you sound ignorant when you do (and no offence intended...just stating facts).

Please explain...if he wasn't cheating than why was he signalling to the umpire? And please do not patronise anyone.
I am new member and would not like to raise any hackles (nor am I defending the batsmans decision not to walk) but, I did not see Inzi walking in the last game when he knew the ball had clearly come of his boot

[Oxy]

I must admit, I never thought Read would ever get back in as long as Fletcher was coach of Eng

[Salman]

Nazir is looking tired in this spell

[asifp]

Poor guys, bowls beautifully , but the umpire and his own team lets him down.

Surely he has to have moved up the order ahead of Gul and Sami now.

[Oxy]

I am new member and would not like to raise any hackles (nor am I defending the batsmans decision not to walk) but, I did not see Inzi walking in the last game when he knew the ball had clearly come of his boot

The issue was whether it had gone flush from the boot into hand, and not boot-ground-hand.

You need replays to see that.

Totally different issues.

[BroskiBeat]

yeah was almost as if GoJo and fletcher were sharing each others bed

[Amir]

I am new member and would not like to raise any hackles (nor am I defending the batsmans decision not to walk) but, I did not see Inzi walking in the last game when he knew the ball had clearly come of his boot

Not a matter of walking son. Its a matter that KP gestured towards his thigh pad to persuade the umpire. That is illegal according to ICC regulations and he should be fined and labelled as a cheat.

[BroskiBeat]

how many times!!!!!


he did not geture to the umpire but rather to the fielder AFTER the decision had already been made :12:

[Indiafan]

The issue was whether it had gone flush from the boot into hand, and not boot-ground-hand.

You need replays to see that.

Totally different issues.
Point taken. But I am sure Inzi would have known it bouncedd right off his toes and did not go to the ground.

[shan]

plz atleast get read out

[UsmanhailsAfridi]

how many times!!!!!


he did not geture to the umpire but rather to the fielder AFTER the decision had already been made :12:


two things he raised his bat right away.....second why would he gesture to the players.......one of the other if you see it full motion his gesture rit away...before the umpire said the words 'not out'

[Indiafan]

Not a matter of walking son. Its a matter that KP gestured towards his thigh pad to persuade the umpire. That is illegal according to ICC regulations and he should be fined and labelled as a cheat.
Yes that is certainly not allowed.

[BroskiBeat]

well why was he looking at the fielder when he did it?

[PlanetPakistan]

We're aware of the problem with Pietersen (showing he's out...when he's not). Fixing it shortly. Demons in the system and all that

see even the cricinfo system is being fair

[CrickFan]

Sorry for sounding critical - but the weaknesses that had been swept under the carpet are now getting exposed ...can't field ( not even an avg fielding side ) , can't play the moving ball , can't take catches when it matters ..how on earth are u going to win matches against a quality side in this day and age

[TaxiDriver]

I am new member and would not like to raise any hackles (nor am I defending the batsmans decision not to walk) but, I did not see Inzi walking in the last game when he knew the ball had clearly come of his boot
welcome english....

Sad to see that you're no different....two totally different scenarios. Inzie's is non comparable...KP (as good as he is) is a cheat in my opinion but a very sly hypocritcal one.

[The_Cricket_Devil]

what a ball but read gets 3 due to a bloody overthrow!!!!

[CrickFan]

and forgot to add - umpires are cheats or incompetent ..take ur pick

[ShowStopper]

I wonder what is Jonty doing ?

[Salman]

and forgot to add - umpires are cheats or incompetent ..take ur pick

Bet he's drunk

[ShowStopper]

and forgot to add - umpires are cheats or incompetent ..take ur pick

Ohe Yaar forget that now, what happened won't change Dropping cataches like the BUtt did isa bigger prooblem than that I think.

[Indiafan]

Taxidriver, No I was not blaming Inzi. Very few players do walk even if they know they are out. thats a sad fact but thats how the scenario is. Most of the players will just ride their luck and take advantage. Anyway hope Pakistan can recover from this position as a new batsman is in.

[Big Mac]

Don't think that's out, only heard one sound.

[TaxiDriver]

Right that's it my patience has gone.

Will you please just shut up and enjoy the game rather than continuously making such crass and unnecessary comments.
I'm trying to enjoy it but not allowed to!!! Witnessing poor sportmanship by your boys...again and again and again really dampens the spirit.

My comments are never unnecessary as I only comment on the facts as I see them.

Please answer my previous question on why KP signalled at the umpire...I think he was cheating. No offense intended...just stating facts.

[CrickFan]

Ohe Yaar forget that now, what happened won't change Dropping cataches like the BUtt did isa bigger prooblem than that I think.

Buddy - u missed my previous post !! :26:

England looking for 500+ here

[cavin420]

what happend to kp ? how come he retired hurt, can any one fill me in please ?

[Amoeba]

Butt will make it up the bat! :D :)) :)))
Can't bat, can't bowl, can't field. What is the point of him?

[Bilsher007]

No wicket so far. This is very frustrating. Poor fielding by pakistan, infact it is pathetic.

[Billy]

what happend to kp ? how come he retired hurt, can any one fill me in please ?

Possible cramp in one of his forearms.

No confirmation of that though.

[Salman]

I'm off home... back Later!

[cavin420]

Possible cramp in one of his forearms.

No confirmation of that though.
i see, i hope he comes back when england are 9 down and then he whacks em out of the ground :D:11:

287 for 4

[TaxiDriver]

Taxidriver, No I was not blaming Inzi. Very few players do walk even if they know they are out. thats a sad fact but thats how the scenario is. Most of the players will just ride their luck and take advantage. Anyway hope Pakistan can recover from this position as a new batsman is in.

and english gentleman....thank you for your encouragement.

But my issue is with him trying to influence the umpires mind...although he new he hit it.

It doesn't hurt so much if a batsman doesn't walk..as long as he keeps his opinions to himself during an appeal.

And I can never see KP take that if he was on the fielding side. I can see him running up to the batsman and letting fly a few insults etc...calling them a cheat etc etc.....Unless it was against an aussie, in my opinion.

Again no offnce intended, just telling you the way it is.

[cavin420]

and please dont tell me, SAmi has been unlucky yet again, dropped catches, umpire not giving batters out ?

[Awesome Anjum]

what happend to kp ? how come he retired hurt, can any one fill me in please ?
Forearm cramps

[Awesome Anjum]

and please dont tell me, SAmi has been unlucky yet again, dropped catches, umpire not giving batters out ?
He had Cook out, but it wasn't given by Doctrove.

[zMario]

Well, we need 6 wickets tonight...

[Amoeba]

Forearm cramps

I thought he had a girlfriend? :D

[infamous9383]

Or he might not. We don't know.

Either way it's not "the way it is".

Well they do say KP loves himself more than anyone else.. :13: .

[zMario]

After the drinks break, bring Gul and Kaneria on, switch Dani's end also

[infamous9383]

wicket needed desperately

[badxhah]

i dont know if this has been discussed bef4 but frm the looks of things Pakistan are hoping that they will draw this one and for the last test wishing for a miracle pinning hopes on the comback Mo.Asif and shooby.

[Awesome Anjum]

Vicious off spin of Taufeek.

[zMario]

Ok... Taufiq is on

[zMario]

Vicious off spin of Taufeek.
I think it was the angle :)))

[TaxiDriver]

Or he might not. We don't know.

Either way it's not "the way it is".
we beg to differ...

In my opinion it is the way it is.

[Awesome Anjum]

Perhaps time to bring on Younus Khan from the other end.

[zMario]

We need a fine leg inside the circle...

[Awesome Anjum]

B-E-A-Yewty from Taufeek

[zMario]

INZAMAM IS BOWLING?!!!

Hmm

[zMario]

Nevermind, he was trying to throw it instead

[nafajafam]

salaam poyz. how has the game been so far? anything of interest?

[zMario]

salaam poyz. how has the game been so far? anything of interest?
Yep, the umpires :(

[Awesome Anjum]

anything of interest?
Other than the outstanding umpiring and the fantastically quick Mohamamd Sami...

[Awesome Anjum]

Aggression from Danish.

Too bad it missed Kainti [bell in Punjabi]

[Awesome Anjum]

Salman on now.

[cavin420]

said it yesterday, will say it again , big mistake not playing with 5 bowlers.

[zMario]

Salman on now.
:)))

[Muyazzim Khan]

Never rated Kaneria and never will. I hope as soon as we find a leggie who can bat and field better and can average around 30 like Kaneria we should get shot of him. He is complete waste of space.

[iZeeshan]

Wow Butt bowling, we're really desperate.

[iZeeshan]

300 up for England. I'll be happy if they go down under 400

[Gasherbrum]

c'mon danny, get a wicket so inzi won't have to think about a bowling change for the rest of tomorrow!

[nafajafam]

wow. salman and taufeeq bowling today. rather interesting.

hows the wicket playing?

[Awesome Anjum]

Never really rated Read. Would be most embarrased if he got a score here.

[invincible]

nice game so far for england ... bad display of umpiring by hair and doctrove ...

pieterson although i dont say should have walked (that would have been a nice sight for the well-being of cricket) shouldn't have made the gesture to umpire ... in such a high intensity game such gestures are merely stimuli but u need to control them ...

there are only 3 players who always walk when they know they are out - gilchrist, sachin, lara - all 3 gr8's of the game ...

It's looking pretty flat now but Nazir was bowling some good deliveries up until just before tea and a couple did bounce a bit. I'd say there may be a little bit more there for the bowlers than there was in the Lord's wicket.

Still fairly flat though

[iZeeshan]

Great shot for 4. THis is officially dead for Pakistan now.
