Dude.. That hit his pad first! That slow mo showed it quite clearly!

Definitely could have been plumb bat before wicket.

Good thing this is a cricket thread. bbw could mean something entirely different elswhere

de Kock was out cheaply could also be bad

I wish Amir were playing here. He would have definitely been one of the best if it wasn't for that fixing fiasco.

 

[Richard Pryor]

I wonder how well India will use DRS?

I hope it overturns a pivotal decision in a close game and wins them a game.

Adelaide has a very big Indian community, but this crowd is insane. Sounds like the AFL GF on the TV. Never heard anything like it here, footy included.

 

[BluesMan]

Irfan is a beast

 

[Nostradumbass]

The size of that bloke.....

I believe he was innocent. He was only 18 when all that shit happened, my guess is that he was easily forced into it against his will. I don't claim that as a fact it's just how I think things happened back then. But I'm glad he's able to return soon, extremely talented player and deserves a second chance.

Back in NZ, SA are 4/193 after 40. 42 runs in the PP. SA good platform to score another 70-100 runs in the last 10 if they don't lose some wickets. Need their pacers back on

 

[Damon_3388]

Pretty amazing that Irfan didn't even make his First Class debut in Pakistan until the age of 27. As the commentators were saying, where was he hiding?

Bro in law just texted me that. Loudest he's heard, went to all port games last season

Great start from Pakistan! Their opening bowlers look great so far

The jolly green giant, he dwarfs the other players and umpires.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

South Africa starting to cruise along nicely at 4/200 from 40 overs.

He was used. His captain used his influence. Glad he'll be back soon.

Warne is only about a million times better when he isn't flanked by peanuts like Healy and Slater..

This is the difference between big nations and the minnows, the 2nd line bowlers. The spinners were doing a good job but got bowled a bit too much and Millar has cashed in

Taller than Sandi. Remarkable.

Do you really think the PCB will select him again soon, no questions asked? Wouldn't be surprised if he never plays international cricket again, given how temperamental they are with player selection at the best of times, let alone when someone has actually been found guilty of doing something wrong.

Like listening to Rameez too. Was so disappointed last night when I got home yesterday evening, realised ch9 weren't in charge of commentary (rightfully so) and thought no Slats! YAY!!.

5 minutes later commentators change and in comes chief peanut

 

[TheDrop]

Hopefully pakistan play england at some point, would love to see Irfan bowling to Taylor

hope they're better than that tbh. He was a joy to watch. I'm not old enough to have seen Waqar or Akram bowl live but he has a bit of Wasim Akram about him.

 

[melbournemartin]

Can someone please help me. I want to listen to the India vs Pakistan game on the radio but I cannot get onto the BBC or ABC due to international licencing restrictions?

Is there something like crictime.co but for radio, not video?

 

[smasha]

Crazy atmosphere.
