Re: 3rd ODI PAKISTAN v SOUTH AFRICA @ DUBAI - Nov 2, 2010
Shoaib Akhtar to Kallis, OUT, bowled im! The two-card trick very nearly got Amla, but it has got rid of Kallis comprehensively here. Another slow off cutter, 111 kph, and you could never make it out from Shoaib's action. The follow through was non-existent as he stood and watched expectantly after releasing the ball. Kallis was hours early into the prod and ended up back-spinning the defensive shot onto the stumps. It landed on the castle and Shoaib puts his arms up. Classy stuff!

Shoaib Akhtar to Ingram, OUT, this is slow and this is sensational! Shoaib does it again, off cutter, floated up at 122 kph and Ingram is early into the drive yet again. Chips the dolly in the air, straight at Shoaib, who almost like a spinner with a muted follow through, was waiting for it. He pouches it and hurls it into orbit. Ingram is on his way.

Shahid Afridi to de Villiers, OUT, This could be out, the third umpire called to check on a stumping appeal. Lovely bit of flight and turn from Afridi, who lands it on middle and off and snakes it past AB's uncertain prod outside off. The replay suggests not out. Wait a minute, the third umpire has said "Out"! Controversial stuff here, he seemed atleast two inches in when the bails came off. Smith in the dressing room throws his hands out and looks absolutely annoyed. Well, well! We need to look at that again, and maybe the 3rd umpire, Zameer Haider, needs to as well! The decision stays, AB is gone. Well, we have seen replays and that is a howler from the 3rd ump. AB's backfoot did come out, but he was well in when the bails came off. Even Fawad Alam, who was walking past AB as he headed back looked surprised with the call. AB just shrugged, looking clueless as he kept walking. Bizarre.
