SOCCERROO FOX Posted 18 June 2009 Posted 18 June 2009 afridiiiiiiiiiii at the start of the tournament i tried to get a multi on him to get most runs and wickets in the tournament and Pakistan to win. But they wouldn't give me Afridi as an option for most wickets. <_<
Edmund Posted 19 June 2009 Posted 19 June 2009 I was fooking vexed earlier. My sky box decides to die after replacing my old sky card with these new cunts. Now have to wait a fooking week to get a new box. Cunts, will miss the cricket. :mad: :mad:
Munzie Posted 19 June 2009 Posted 19 June 2009 Afridi was awesome today with both bat and ball.But Kallis and Duminy threw the game away by not stepping up the pace. The tournament is now wide open. I went to this yesterday. Cracking game of cricket and awesome atmosphere. It was my first 20-20 game and would recommend them to anyone.
Milky Posted 19 June 2009 Posted 19 June 2009 Superb womens game just now. Sensational run chase by England to beat the Aussies and reach the final at Lords.
Corky Posted 19 June 2009 Posted 19 June 2009 Superb womens game just now. Sensational run chase by England to beat the Aussies and reach the final at Lords. We won? Great stuff Oh, and Ellyse Perry
purpleronnie Posted 19 June 2009 Posted 19 June 2009 I'm back in england tomorrow, so at least I'll catch the final, missed out!
Ultra Posted 19 June 2009 Posted 19 June 2009 He couldn't quite carry them home. Windies never recovered from losing three wickets in the first over. Sri Lanka will be favourites in the final, but they've wobbled at times during the tournament and Pakistan could pounce on any signs of weakness.
dandannieldanok Posted 20 June 2009 Posted 20 June 2009 I'm sure it's been debated to death in this forum before, but does anyone else think Malinga's bowling should not be allowed?
Fox You Forest Posted 21 June 2009 Posted 21 June 2009 Sarah Taylor and Laura Marsh, I would. The NZ captain also.... Oh yeah well done.
purpleronnie Posted 21 June 2009 Posted 21 June 2009 Looking good for pakistan, hope they can keep this up.
Webbo Posted 21 June 2009 Posted 21 June 2009 I'm sure it's been debated to death in this forum before, but does anyone else think Malinga's bowling should not be allowed? No, it shouldn't.
MarkDeVries Posted 21 June 2009 Posted 21 June 2009 No, it shouldn't. Agreed. It's a disgrace to allow that.
Edmund Posted 21 June 2009 Posted 21 June 2009 No, it shouldn't. Agreed. It's a disgrace to allow that. Why he does everything by the rule book so in theory it is legal. This is the problem with cricket it will never evolve if people keep on shutting down the innovators. Remember when Pieterson was using the switch shot, people were frowning upon it and bowlers still do as they think it is bad etiquette yet the crowd love it and nothing in the rule book to say otherwise. I bet if he was English you wouldn't be saying that.

I bet if he was English you wouldn't be saying that. I knew Nigel played Cricket
Edmund Posted 21 June 2009 Posted 21 June 2009 I knew Nigel played Cricket had a mare meant K Pieterson. Was just reading that Pearson to southampton thread. My bad
Webbo Posted 21 June 2009 Posted 21 June 2009 What's wrong with Malinga? Perfectly legal. Technically maybe, but it's not over arm bowling is it? It's more like side arm bowling and it looks awful.
Edmund Posted 21 June 2009 Posted 21 June 2009 Technically maybe, but it's not over arm bowling is it? It's more like side arm bowling and it looks awful. Like I said cricket will never evolve if we keep gunning the innovators. I bet you wouldn't complain if he was English
dandannieldanok Posted 21 June 2009 Posted 21 June 2009 Technically maybe, but it's not over arm bowling is it? It's more like side arm bowling and it looks awful. Agreed, the problem I have with it is his trajectory, especially in the shorter version of the game. Because he doesn't do proper over arm bowling he can keep the ball low and skiddy making it extremely difficult to bat against. For me personally it just isn't proper bowling.
MarkDeVries Posted 21 June 2009 Posted 21 June 2009 Like I said cricket will never evolve if we keep gunning the innovators.I bet you wouldn't complain if he was English True, I wouldn't complain if he is English. But he's not, so it's not legal Meh, Pakistan.
Ultra Posted 21 June 2009 Posted 21 June 2009 Technically maybe, but it's not over arm bowling is it? It's more like side arm bowling and it looks awful. He doesn't keep his arm straight, so it's a throw to me. Credit though to Pakistan and Afridi in particular. Good to see him finally make full use of his undoubted talents.
