agreed
Re: South Africa vs Pakistan, 1st Test, 11th-15th January @ Centurion
I do not understand. Let me ask as I do not watch other test matches of other teams, does this type of nonsense happens with every one or just Pakistan ?
Re: South Africa vs Pakistan, 1st Test, 11th-15th January @ Centurion
^it happened with india too.the culprit at that time was asad rauf but those were difficult decision.these are plumb lbws
Re: South Africa vs Pakistan, 1st Test, 11th-15th January @ Centurion
The worst decision i wud say came from third empire who gave Prince not out.
Its amazing how quikly he gave the verdict without seeing replays from different angles. Specially the camera at square or square leg wud have been much more conclusive.

This was the comment on www.cricinfo.org

Sajan has a message for Alan from Taiwan who had a comment on a description. “If it did not touch the bat then it was plumb - anyway it was out.”, Your commentary is supposed to be unbiased! The scorecard says NOT OUT. It’s in the book, and that’s all that counts. No?.
Alan, that wasan unbiased comment, I was just stating the obvious. As they say “Sometimes truth can be painful”

yar bhio...doesn any body have a link to watch this match online ?
Re: South Africa vs Pakistan, 1st Test, 11th-15th January @ Centurion
I lost interest in this test. If pakistan loses I will not blame them. Really pathetic umpiring.
Re: South Africa vs Pakistan, 1st Test, 11th-15th January @ Centurion
South Africa: 417-all out (117.5 Ovs)
Re: South Africa vs Pakistan, 1st Test, 11th-15th January @ Centurion
It wasn't suppose to be any more than 350 if umpiring was fair.
Re: South Africa vs Pakistan, 1st Test, 11th-15th January @ Centurion
At last all gone, well done to Asif and Kaneria...I think Kaneria bowled really well. Also dont forget Umpire's decisions cost Pak at least 60-70 extra runs.
I am predicting Younis and Inzi's centuries....I would love more predictions from other fellows
Re: South Africa vs Pakistan, 1st Test, 11th-15th January @ Centurion
Spot on I said the same thing.

I predict LBW's towards Paki's as the umpires must have come to know how they did not give the LBW's correctly. They will be more nervous with their past inning performance.
Re: South Africa vs Pakistan, 1st Test, 11th-15th January @ Centurion
lets see if we can save the match,,,
seems like thats what INZI will be thinking...
Re: South Africa vs Pakistan, 1st Test, 11th-15th January @ Centurion
12/0
Re: South Africa vs Pakistan, 1st Test, 11th-15th January @ Centurion
The way SA are batting at the moment, they might not have to bat again in this test and goofy Inzi thought that we could bowl SA out twice on their own pitches without Akhtar's services. It's clear that Pakistan have only two good bowlers - Akhtar and Asif (still not an out and out match-winner like Akhtar) - The rest incl. Umar Gul are ok but nothing special. Kaneria is over-rated

Re: South Africa vs Pakistan, 1st Test, 11th-15th January @ Centurion
A few close LBWs going the wrong way are very much on par in a match. So I don't think we have much to complain so far. If we can get 300 run lead in 2nd inning, we can be in a good position to win this match as SA have to bat last. scoring 400 should be doable as the pitch is still good.
Re: South Africa vs Pakistan, 1st Test, 11th-15th January @ Centurion
Back from a nap :)
Pakistan should file a complaint at the ICC against the umpires' wrong decisions...
Re: South Africa vs Pakistan, 1st Test, 11th-15th January @ Centurion
I just read on cricinfo that Yousuf will be joing the team for the second test. With Yousuf and Shoaib in the side we have a much better chance of winning the series. Gul might also be back for the second test.
Re: South Africa vs Pakistan, 1st Test, 11th-15th January @ Centurion
Pakistan: 31/0 (9.0 Ovs)

Re: South Africa vs Pakistan, 1st Test, 11th-15th January @ Centurion
If any of the batsmen who got out playing hook shot in 1st inning gets out playing similar shot, I say they should use him as hooker :D
