3rd Quarter-Final: Australia v Pakistan at Adelaide Oval Mar 20 2015

[JJ]

Rule change: lights = out

WTF, why? Always been the bails need to be dislodged, and there's always been the odd occasion the stumps have been clipped and bails don't move, or they jump and land in the groove - unusual, but nothing new

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

And Misbah is the one who throws it away. That's disappointing.

 

[Hutty1986]

Misbah gone. Big wicket!

 

[Mr Angry]

The electric bails are much heavier therefore harder to dislodge.

Maxwell gets one.

 

[Hutty1986]

Akmal very dangerous. Need to send him packing early.

 

[Pete Cash]

Clarke completely did misbah there.

Maxwell is such a shit bowler...

Are they actually heavier? Surely they have to be within some specs, heavier bails often used in Wellington because of the wind - I am not seeing the problem, that ball flicked the stumps pretty lightly - nothing new

 

[Pete Cash]

Its fair enough. The ball barely glanced the stumps. Its not even the worst of the world cup.

According to this ( http://www.news.com.au/sport/cricke...inal-in-adelaide/story-fnqpo3wn-1227271177315 ) they are heavier than standard bails but slightly lighter than heavy bails used in windy conditions.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Haddin told the umpire it was his gloves.

So why even check?

 

[Hutty1986]

Maxwell to Umar Akmal, no run, looks to cut another length ball, but this has come in towards middle and taken the bottom edge, which somehow evades the stumps. Remember what Swann said of cutting offspinners? It's like patting a burning dog

 

[Hutty1986]

Good time for Johnson to step up

 

[JW]

Stupid shot that.

 

[Pete Cash]

That was one of the dumbest shots I've seen

 

[Hutty1986]

G. Maxwell's bowling hand grenades

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

That dismissal pretty much highlights why Pakistan are such a poor ODI team. They have no awareness of the field, where the gaps are etc

They hit the ball in the general direction it should go with placement an afterthought.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Boom Boom time. This could be very short and very entertaining.

 

[Hutty1986]

Let's make sure one of the biggest underachievers of all time doesn't burn us here

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Pakistan should take the powerplay after this over. Afridi is going to go for it, might as well bring the field up. If he gets out before they take the powerplay it would be an absolute waste.

Boom Boom
