Re: ICC to probe ‘scoring patterns’ in 3rd ODI between Pak-Eng
Absolutely worthless reporting. The guy is implying that Pakustan scored only 7 runs when they could have scored more. With the dismissals of two set batsman, with 10 overs to go and Gul on the other end, Razzaq obviously had to be cautious.
About Afridi not putting his bat in the crease. That is someting which is considered against the basic cricket technique of grounding the bat but time and again we have seen so many players doing that and paying the price.
If ICC is really focusig on these two overs then they have proved yet again that they indeed are International Clueless Clowns by prematurely giving this statement.
“A source informed The Sun newspaper that a certain scoring pattern would emerge during certain stages of the match and, broadly speaking, that information appeared to be correct,”
“Although it is worth pointing out at this stage that we are not stating as fact that anything untoward has occurred. Only in the fullness of the investigation can that be established.”
Even if the information by conincidence appeared to be correct, they could have done their investigation in the background without creating this unneccasary controversy.
