I heard akmal got a poor one and was listening to the radio, blowers said, Arh it has clipped his pocket. apparently he was given out on a noise.
there is a chance Strauss was pulling a fast one...

They do look very poor decisions but shouldnt the blame be shared with the 3rd Umpire as he relays the review down to Billy the onfield Umpire?

Not going to help them in this game.

Maybe their kids can capitalize on the pitch's eventual demise.

Maybe the ground staff have used concrete to give the pitch such longevity?

That was my point - England will lose, but at least they've had a bloody good go.
A bit like the Gabba last year, it has taken them an initial innings to get their head around things.
The rest of your post is drivel.

Strauss delayed his review too. this from a man who reviewed in SA a couple of winters ago when he'd hit the cover off it.

They've both stayed with the on field umpires descision (bowdens). Ajmal's was inconclusive due to short leg obstructing the best angle for Hot Spot. There was a massive noise for strauss's dismissal but again no evidence from Hot Spot. You can't give them out without being certain or give them in so the onfield decision has to stay. Again too many grey areas for all concerned. Duminys was a genuine shocker.

straus nicked it!

nothing on hot spot but so wat..


there was defo a noise and it was defo ball on bat noise!

the noise is 100% the same time as the ball passes the bat and i think the way strauss looks behind him he knows hes nicked it

boom nice one bell about time

[Beachcricket]

If Bell can't pick it, why doesn't he get forward and smother it.

it just shows how poor our shot selection is. I think its time KP left the building. He just doesnt seem bothered. didnt score many in the warm ups as they were just warm up games so he wasnt fussed. Havent seen his shot to get out but ifs its anything like cricinfo says he should be getting a kicking from the management

It's exactly what you think it was, Brainless.

[Beachcricket]

There was a man in the deep and he tries to hook/pull. 2 wickets down and he chooses to play a risky shot on a wicket that gets easier to bat on once you've grafted. He's brain dead sometimes. He had no control over the shot.

Trott should tattoo "value your wicket" on his knuckles and then punch KP until it permanently goes in that thick skull of his.

Gul has bowled a superb spell though.

[wilkie113]

Is it me or does Trott tap his bat really hard?

Think thats the best piece of advice anybody can give. lol
