England vs Pakistan

Post by Mal »

did any1 catch the excitement on the pitch in Pakistan yesterday?

A cylinder exploded on the side of the field and the army came onto the field. While play was suspended for a bit and stuff was sorted out, Afridi did a shuffle over the pitch (obviously damaging it) and now has a 3 test suspension (I think).

Hey dudeWelcome to the forums. I was going to start a thread about this but I see you beat me too it!

I was watching live when Afridi did that and that was so friggen cheeky!!!
They showed it a few times, him looking around and the doing his ''signature ballerina'' (jk) twirl, And then Pieterson even told him that the cameras caught it and you saw his face just turn from joking to serious.

He has been suspended for 1 test and 2 ODIs. Not sure if this was enough though. Got a question did Charl Langeveldt also do something similar? I kinda heard someone say it and am not sure...

Im not too sure!

I saw as they were leaving the field of play, that Pieterson sorta had words him and did a little twirl!

I agree, the punishment is not harsh enough. I hope they also take his match fee 2!

Pieterson did do that, When he first talked to Afridi while walking off it was comedic but soon after you saw the then smiling face of Afridi turn into a serious one when Pieterson did a twirl...

You could even clearly see the damage, the spot went a bit darker. All this in the name of winning, what happened to good sportsmanship.

Afridi's fee should also be taken, that I agree.
