EG 446
PA 147 + 74
I guess if PA batted another 3 times they could have made EG bat again

SWANN 5/62 + 4/12

EG bowled 2 no balls in this test [48 overs by the quickies ]
PA bowled 14 no balls ....[84.2 overs by the quickies]

KP dropped for the ODI and T20 series...and wanst very happy


Kevin Pietersen has launched a foul-mouthed tirade on Twitter following his dumping from the England side less than three months before the first Ashes Test.

The impulsive superstar announced he had been axed from the Twenty20 and one-day sides for the upcoming series against Pakistan on the social networking site several hours before the squads were announced.

"Yep.. Done for rest of summer!!," he told followers on account kevinpp24.

"Man of the World Cup T20 and dropped from the T20 side too.. It's a f*** up!! Surrey have signed me for l ...(sic)'."

Pietersen is understood to be a novice in the Twitter department and he showed his inexperience in his post being cut short by the character limit.

The message has since been deleted but not before being picked up by the media in England and he is expected to face disciplinary action.

Now, I don't think I've seen that before! If anyone is in the action it's Afridi. The ball is fired at the stumps, hits Afridis' bat and riccochets onto the stumps with the bat still slightly above the ground. Wouldn't have been possible without the deflection.

[brod]

39.1
Broad to Abdul Razzaq, 1 run, OUT, 134.6 kph, full on the pads, inside edge onto the front leg and they take a single ... Now what has happened here? A throw was fired in, Afridi's bat was raised and this looks out! He's gone, run out. Tragedy for Pakistan. Afridi was actually easily home but he didn't ground his bat. Another wicket falls, and they're struggling now

Shahid Afridi run out 34 (29b 3x4 1x6) SR: 117.24

Thats the commentary from cricinfo....

Pakistan win the 3rd ODI by 23 runs, but would you believe it, the match is under investigation:

[jackpot jim]

The ICC themselves should be the focus of any investigations after being so inactive in doing anything remotely constuctive since they were formed.
The 3rd umpire procedure is still a joke.
Stand in W/Keeper for Pakistan Umar Akmal stumps one of the pommie batsmen and umpire Billy Doctrove turns down the appeal and doesn't even call for the 3rd umpire despite protests from captain Afridi. The replay clearly shows it was out!
May be the umpires should be investigated for match fixing.

The ICC has launched an investigation into the third ODI between England and Pakistan at The Oval after it received information from a newspaper before the game began alleging that bookies were aware of certain scoring patterns in the match.

[jackpot jim]

4th ODI

Pakistan 7/265 (50 overs)

Pakistan scored 42 runs off the last 2 overs.

Abdul Razzaq who finished with 44* off 20 balls amazingly scored 40 of those runs off the last 10 balls he faced in the last 2 overs. his scoring shots in order were 4,4,6,4,2,4,4,4,4,4 off consecutive balls. Absolutely amazing power hitting off of Anderson and Bresnan.

[Media Park]

It is 3/137, ENG need 129 from 129... I can't sleep...

[jackpot jim]

England all out 227.
Pakistan win by 38 runs and level series 2 - 2

[Lightning McQueen]

England all out 227.
Pakistan win by 38 runs and level series 2 - 2

I wonder what that was paying?
