Ram Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Sriram, I direct you to Einstein's wisdom. He believed only the universe and stupidity were infinite, and he wasn't quite sure about the universe. Pak phaaaasht boiler + the mental capacity of a boiled peanut = probably not a guy bright enough to stand at the crease and roll an arm over. That is wicked... You're a mean man! :cantstop: Really, someone should tell the Pakistanis to stop trying to bowl phaaaast all the time. :--D Link to comment
Mr. Wicket Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I'm calling it as it is - this is not mean. See, you're using logic. This is not the way to mentally align yourself with a phaaaaasht boiler. Take the case of the legendary Mohammad Malcolm Sami, against Bangladesh back in 2004. The man bowled an over that went wide/4/2/noball/wide/1/noball/wide/wide/dot/wide/noball/wide/wide/noball/dot/four. Seventeen fricking balls. Now if it had been you, me or someone else with multiple working brain cells, we may have chosen to just stand at the crease or at least bowl at a slower pace to ensure that SOME balls a) landed on the strip and b) weren't noballs. Malcolm Sami didn't. If Sami can bowl such utter crap, I'm sure even lesser bowlers (Pakistan probably has them in every galli and mohalla) can do even better. Link to comment

This proves that 10 no-balls can happen.:haha::haha::haha::haha::haha: Link to comment
Mr. Wicket Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I wonder - One day, will we ever have a thread on ICF titled "Pakistani pacer bowls 6 legal deliveries in a row"? Link to comment
Holysmoke Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 I can understand 10 wides in a row 10 noballs are impossible I'm pretty sure the captain wouldve been wtf.. now stand here and bowl without a runup after 6 noballs Link to comment
vadodaravictor Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 Here is my theory... Paki bowlers need to generate new streams of incomes. It might be difficult to get into ICL now with all Mumbai mess that their fellow citizens have brought upon them. Nobody is going to cheer for Lahore Badasses. Hence these days, there are in the business of fixing domestic games.:giggle: Link to comment

zubinpepsi Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 that eventful sami's over..lol But any poise Sami exhibited during his first over disappeared as he proceeded to bowl with all the control of a novice driver on a frost-slicked road. He skidded, sprayed and slipped his way through a 17-ball over that read Y-4-2-nb-Y-nb1-0-Y-Y-0-Y-nb-Y-Y-nb-0-4. Seven wides, four no-balls, ten runs off the bat, and suddenly Bangladesh were away. Before this match started Pakistan's bowlers probably harboured hopes of entering the record books with a barnstorming performance, but no-one would have imagined it was for bowling the longest over. :haha: Link to comment
Lord Posted December 7, 2008 Share Posted December 7, 2008 and to think javed miandad said fast bowlers like irfan pathan were in every galli mohalla of pakistan Link to comment
