England v Pakistan **spoilers**

Isn't that pic of Bell from the same series as Afridi's pitch dancing?
There were definitely one or two balls from Shoaib yesterday that looked a bit iffy to be honest. It's a shame Darrel Hair wasn't umpiring, he'd have called him straight away;)

Ive seen that most non Pakistani supporters are just jealous of not being able to have such a fast bowler in their teamt

Which 'most non Pakistani supporters' are you talking about?

England have Harmison & Flintoff
Australia have Lee & McGrath
South Africa have Ntini & Pollock
New Zealand have Bond
West Indies have Edwards
India have Khan & Pathan

Can't remember any of the other nations supporters ever posting in here, unless you mean you talk to them in the real world, if you ever go there.

Have a look at all the arguments on youtube, pratically everyone who is not a pakistan fan says hes a chucker, a higher % of them are english and indians

Maybe they're right then. He had to remodel his action before, maybe it's gone back to the good old days. He has a suspect looking action with certain deliveries, that's a fact, otherwise people wouldn't go on about it would they:)
 
2.30 start today.
Gough is out for the rest of the series with a shin injury, gutted for him really as he's desperate to be involved & I think this was his last chance:(
Graham Onions, the latest big cheese from Durham, is in instead. Hopefully he'll be able to cut the mustard:)
 
I've a feeling we're @25-30 runs short but it was a better effort albeit on a cracking pitch.
We look really shallow in the bowling dept at the moment though:(
I very much doubt Shoaib was actually doing anything wrong with his nail, no-one would be that silly in the current circumstances:)

watched the replays this morning and it looks like obvious ball tampering to me, he clearly scrapes his thumb nail across the ball, as usual the ICC will bottle out of doing anything

The match referee has already cleared him :/
Having seen the replays again, it does look as though he was doing something he shouldn't of, you're not allowed to even clean the seam with your nail, so scraping is illegal.
As Spawn elegantly pointed out above, lots of bowlers do it I'm sure, but that doesn't vindicate Shoaib at all. His actions were stupid especially at the moment and show a remarkable amount of disrespect. You can bet he got a right royal one in the dressing room for it:)

neither is chucking but no one has the guts to do anything about it :mad:

The only bloke I can remember having the balls to call people when he thought they were chucking can't umpire anymore, because last time he called a team for cheating they went mad and accused him of having a problem with them & possibly even being racist. Bring back Darrell Hair:)
