OutByEaster? Posted October 17, 2015 Moderator Share Posted October 17, 2015 Pakistan having a series of nice long chats to delay things.Maybe two overs at a push - this one looks very likely to be a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 I guess we were never going to get anywhere near the target but the umpires should have stepped in and told the Pakistan captain and players to stop time wasting.Three minutes between one over ending and the next starting because they want to stand around and have a chat? That's cheating in my book. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted October 17, 2015 Moderator Share Posted October 17, 2015 (edited) A wide from Pakistan - if I was Captain, I'd be bowling the slowest collection of wides in history - there isn't time for 40 of them.

Rodders Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 yeah, i know this time wasting is bloody annoying but we'd be doing exactly the same thing if it was the other way around, I'm sure I can remember plenty of tactical changes of gloves etc from us before!

OutByEaster? Posted October 17, 2015 Moderator Share Posted October 17, 2015 True enough Rodders - it's imaginative, you've got to give them that - they've just tried to finish an over in five balls and are now looking confused about the sixth ball - much chat ensues.One more over.

They may as well have done. Edited October 17, 2015 by snowychap 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 some of it is still ridiculous mind, I'm not sure what rules can be enforced beyond fining percentages of match fee for deliberate obuscation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted October 17, 2015 Share Posted October 17, 2015 players wouldn't probably take the fine to save the match anyway. suspension threats would be the only way to deal with it I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted October 17, 2015 Moderator Share Posted October 17, 2015 All over - much more entertaining than we'd thought.I think given the pitch and conditions you'd have to make England big favourites in the next two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
