Capricorn Posted November 17, 2016 Share anyone else watch that clip on youtube, of a little bowling clinic with Wasim Akram and former England captains Michael Atherton and Nasser Hussain?Akram is an incredible talent. Long ago retired, but still ridiculously lethal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shebeen Posted November 17, 2016 Share It's probably a case of the Aussies looking for a reason to get back at us and take the shine away from our win. BUT, Faf has been found guilty of ball tampering before. After the first test the Aussies already started asking questions about how we got the ball to swing so much more than them. And they said the cameramen will be watching the ball closely in the 2nd test. So to go and do anything that might be seen as ball tampering was really stupid. Whether it could have any affect on the ball or notja ja ja, can't takw their own medicine http://www.sbs.com.au/news/article/2014/03/04/faf-surprised-australias-reverse-swing Mitchell Johnson says Australia's fielders like to throw the ball into the turf during Test matches to help accelerate wear and tear and make reverse swing more likely to occur.

Whether it could have any affect on the ball or notWell their own commentators answered that queation. They did not pick true swing bowlers exept for starc. Mennie is a line lenth bowler and Hazelwood can move the ball, but he is not known for swinging the ball, more a good line length bowler as well.

Oxter Posted November 17, 2016 Share India vs Eng, 2nd test 194/2 for the hosts after losing their openers very earlyI watched the game this morning and the first few overs went well for Eng. Commentator even said that Eng can be happy to jave broad and Anderson back as a team again and that they migjt cause havoc. Just check in again and wow did pujara and kholi change that haha. TBH I dont know who I want to win between India and ENG. Can I choose neither. Sent from my D5803 using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Dale Posted November 17, 2016 Share The pitch has played well contrary to all expectations, but it is still on track for the curator's prediction: big turn from around lunch on day two. If that happens, India will love it. The only silver lining for England is that the turn is slow. We are hearing that unlike Rajkot this pitch will crumble, and once it goes it will go.

SNIPWhether it could have any affect on the ball or notAlthough Cricket South Africa has not made an official comment on the matter, it is understood the board is confident du Plessis was acting within the laws of the game. Cricket Australia has also not commented, neither has it registered an official complaint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
'Dale Posted November 17, 2016 Share This is not the first time du Plessis has come under scrutiny. In 2013, five penalty runs were awarded to Pakistan, the ball changed and du Plessis fined 50% of his match fee for rubbing the ball close to the zipper of his trouser pocket during a Test in Dubai.

(or at least that's what I would have done). jimmycool and WhuYu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
