Watching the One day match S.A v Pakistan .


Tsotsobe to Imran Farhat, 1 run, OUT, flicked away from off, with the angle, and they are appealing for obstructing the field. This is placed to the right of long leg, Farhat is adamant about the second, Hafeez is slow to turn, and he starts running with half an eye on the throw coming from the keeper to the bowler, and is hit by the throw. Hafeez has altered his course only slightly, but that is good enough to rule a batsman out under the new playing conditions. Hafeez is livid as he goes back; possibly he feels he didn't alter significantly or intentionally but he did alter the line of running if only slightly. First man to be given out obstructing the field after the new playing conditions were introduced

Tough call i rekon. Mind you they keep changing the rules in ODI's it's hard to keep up .

Really want Pakistan to win . Hopefully Afridi will go big , love watching him when he has his eye in . Only comes off about 1 in 10 though .
 
Here we go for the final test, can compton prove his worth as an opener, can broad carry on with his recent eexcellent bowling form, and who will stake a real claim for the ashes squad?

A very intriguing 5 days to come! :D

Yeah, couldn't believe that was out, although by the sound of things it was the right call under the new rules (didn't even realise we had new rules).

And mrcientist, you've still got a few more games against NZ before you worry about the Ashes ;). And besides, we're better than the Aussies anyway ;)
 
I hadn't heard about the rule change either. Back in the day it was obviously not in the spirit of the game but plenty of batsmen were willing to wear a direct throw flush in the back to stop a run out. I guess with the amount of padding these days it was becoming more common.
 
2nd new ball, 227/1. We will take that any day of the week.

The ashes should be interesting, Australia have no batsmen, England have an average bowling line up at best. Monty is struggling and even Anderson and Broad have struggled to move the ball.

Brimz, being a local boy have you ever been to see Gloucester in Bristol? Thinking about taking my boy this year.

How the fuck this thread managed to reach a second incarnation (whenever a mod notices it's overdue) is truly beyond my ken :|

At least it's not the football thread though.

I was hit very hard in the head with a cricket bat once. Other than that I have little to add on the topic.

Carry on, cricket peeps. If you must.
