Kallis might be in hot water with the ICC after he was caught on camera mouthing an obscenity to Yaasir Hameed wqho had just hammered him to the boundary in the previous delivery.
Kallis muttered what looked like "F*** you and something else which also included an f word and the PCB will be sure to report the SA bowler after their camp launched the campaign to have Shoaib banned.
If SA return home after suffering a defeat in the series it will end as a tour of shame and hypocrisy on their part but they have brought it on themselves I guess.
should be banned, PCB must complain now and lets see Mr. Lloyd's credentials now.
But Shoaib was found guilty of level 2 offense which was elevated to level 3 being in level 2 before. Kallis might just escape with a fine, that is IF.
Pakistan should complain. Time to pay back SA in their own currency. Also if we draw this match it will be a slap on the face of SA, as they thought they could handle Pakistan in the absence of Shoaib. Cowards.
Yeah I saw it too, Kallis was pi$$ed after being smacked for a boundry.
They should defnitly complained, but noticed how the commentators never brought it up.

Well at that time Amir and co (I forogot his name) was commenting and Amir did brought it up that Loyd will be watching this and it should be addressed. And his co commentator didn't even gave any comments on the issue (double standard). But I doubt it will happen. I think PAK won't bring this up and Mr. Great Loyd will just keep his eyes shut.
Honestly to me what shoaib did and what kallis did is part of cricket especially test cricket..and it should just be forgotten....its men game so let it be played the way men play it. ...I dont think PCB are going to complain against coz of the GORA INFERIORity complex that they have.

I 100% agree with you. but there is teeny, tiny difference. saffies were not raised to be "mens". Frankly I think what kallis did was a part of the game. and he should not be punished for it. PCB should not complain not because of the "gora" complex but because we are men and mens take care of the business on field when **** happens, they don't run to their mommies when they get picked on.
Honestly man, sometimes I just don't get cricket. The sheer stupidity of suspending/banning a guy for using the f word ( oh no not the f word) during a sporting event is absolutely baffling. In other sports guys go out there litterally trying to kill each other (boxing, football, ice hockey even during a baseball brawl). If you want to promote the sport, and it's a great sport, it is time to take of the ICC took of there skirts and started playing real sports like the rest of the world. No more of this gentlemanly BS, play hard, don't cheat and besides that do or say whatever the hell you want.

Whats wrong in cricket being gentelmen game? Its mostly in USA that players use "f" word in the games. In all other games or when competing at international level no one use these cursing words.
^ Are you kidding me... Ever watch Soccer, it is the most popular sport in the world. People literally live and die watching soccer matches. You think they don't exchane a few swear words while playing,,, I would'nt be surprised.
a little bit of gamesmanship is fine .. infact it makes the game more exciting! but then rules shd be applied fairly. nel n kallis got away while shoaib dint. that former west indian great - clive lloyd - is a true white a$$ licker...
