World Cup - games that don't include Australia

[The Sleeping Giant]

Not sure if I'm watching some great cricket or some terrible cricket. It's a good laugh though.

Fair Over by Ross Taylor

46.6 Shoaib Akhtar to Taylor, SIX, Rosco is back in style, brings up his century on his birthday, with a savage pull over deep midwicket for six, he was waiting for that shortish one on the stumps, and when it arrived, he was ready and raises his bat in celebration, the dressing room stands up and applauds
46.6 Shoaib Akhtar to Taylor, 1 wide, nightmare this is for Shoaib, this one is fired wide down the leg side
46.5 Shoaib Akhtar to Taylor, FOUR, and another one, this time he waited in the crease for this length ball to come on comfortably wide outside off stump, and carved it over cover, no chance for sweeper cover
46.4 Shoaib Akhtar to Taylor, no run, this was in the slot for Taylor, bouncing from a length, and he went for the big hit over deep midwicket again, but missed this time
46.4 Shoaib Akhtar to Taylor, 1 wide, 109 kph slower one but miles outside the off stump, more woes for Shoaib, will this over ever end for him?
46.3 Shoaib Akhtar to Taylor, SIX, 141.1 kph high full toss, it's going horribly wrong for Shoaib, Taylor swivelled and hammered it miles over the deep midwicket boundary
46.2 Shoaib Akhtar to Taylor, SIX, Taylor has made Pakistan pay dearly, another full toss, this time on the pads, and Ross swings it powerfully, flat and quick, over deep square leg
46.1 Shoaib Akhtar to Taylor, FOUR, poor delivery to begin with, swinging wide full toss way outside off stump, he capitalises, and slashes it over point and into the boundary

Insane! Taylor is doing it to Razzaq now!

4 6 wd 6!

[The Sleeping Giant]

WTF. Wides, half volleys, full toss. Still got to hit them for 6 I suppose.

Ross Taylor 52 off the last 18 balls he has faced

18 off 3 legal balls in this over

[mal]

Some very experienced bowlers bowling wides and full tosses with monotomous regularity
Makes one wonder ...

[spell_check]

4 6 wd 6 wd 2 4 6

28 off Akhtar
30 off Razzaq!!!

At the same time Jim, if it was an Australian or an English bowler, it would be just down to getting it all wrong.

73 off the last 3 overs

131* is Ross Taylors Highest ODI score

[The Sleeping Giant]

Pakis are doing this on purpose. The last 2 overs were some of the worst I've seen. Nothing even close to the stumps or a yorker.

Does any one know what over the Kamran Akmal four WIDES, that the commentators were talking about happned in.

Lets not forget Oram! 19 off 7!

And if Kamral Akmal was on the fence there, it would have been 31 off 9.
