Was it out or not? - Asif to Pietersen

Mohammad Asif (Urdu: محمد آصف, born 20 December 1982) is a Pakistani right-arm fast medium bowler in cricket. Asif was born in Sheikhupura, and has played first-class cricket for Khan Research Labs, the National Bank, Quetta, Sheikhupura, Sialkot and Leicestershire. He made his Test match debut for the Pakistan cricket team against Australia in January 2005.
On 20 July 2010, Asif was ranked second leading Test bowler, just behind Dale Steyn.[1]
In 2006, there was a cricket controversy involving Asif, after he tested positive for anabolic steroid, Nandrolone, before having a ban imposed on him overturned on appeal. He was later withdrawn from Pakistan's World Cup squad with an unrelated injury. Further cricket controversy followed when he was detained in Dubai suspected of having drugs on his person and was then found to have tested positive for a banned substance during the Indian Premier League. In August 2010 he was accused by the News of the World of deliberately bowling no-balls in return for payment from a betting syndicate.[2] On 5 February 2011 a 3-man tribunal, appointed by the International Cricket Council (ICC) gave the verdict that he was to be banned for 7 years, with 2 of those suspended if no further offences were committed. In November 2011, Asif was convicted, along with Salman Butt and Mohammad Amir, of conspiracy charges relating to spot-fixing. On 3 November 2011, Asif was given a one-year prison sentence for his role in the scandal.

Kevin Peter Pietersen, MBE (born 27 June 1980) is a South African-born English cricketer. He is a right-handed batsman and occasional off spin bowler who plays for England and Surrey. He had also played for Indian Premier League team Royal Challengers Bangalore for its second and third seasons, captaining the side in his first, prior to being bought by the Deccan Chargers for the fourth season of the competition. He was captain of the England Test and One Day International teams from 4 August 2008 to 7 January 2009 but resigned after just three tests and nine One Day Internationals, following a dispute with England coach Peter Moores, who was sacked the same day.[4]
Pietersen was born in Pietermaritzburg, Natal Province, South Africa. He made his first-class debut for Natal in 1997 before moving to England after voicing his displeasure at the racial quota system in place in South Africa.[5] His English mother gave Pietersen eligibility to play for England, and after serving a qualifying period of four years playing at county level, he was called up almost immediately into the national side. He made his international debut in the One Day International match against Zimbabwe in 2004,[6] and his Test match debut in the 2005 Ashes series against Australia the following year.[7] The England team's subsequent reliance on Pietersen since his debut resulted in only a single first-class appearance for Hampshire between 2005 and 2010 . On 17 June 2010 Pietersen announced his wish to leave Hampshire .[8] He subsequently joined Surrey on loan for the remainder of the 2010 English county cricket season after being dropped by England due to a poor run of form, before joining the club permanently from the 2011 season onwards.[9][10]
Pietersen became the fastest batsman to reach both 1,000 and 2,000 runs in One Day International cricket,[11][12] and the quickest in terms of time to 5,000 Test runs.[13] He has the highest average of any England player to have played more than 20 innings of one-day cricket.[14] He has the second-highest run total from his first 25 Tests, behind only the Australian Donald Bradman,[15] and was the fastest player, in terms of days, to reach 4,000 Test runs.[16] He became only the third English batsman to top the ICC One Day International rankings, doing so in March 2007.[17] In July 2008, after a century against South Africa, The Times called him "the most complete batsman in cricket".[18] Shane Warne, a close friend, in a September serial for the same newspaper, wrote, "I don't think he has an obvious flaw in his technique.

[smylingmoon]

@jpcrabtree1 Well if you are true umpire then better get some more lessons. He played this ball face to face. If you want to claim dead ball based on distraction, batsman got to leave it. Pieterson is an arse to play this and still claim immunity.

Kevin Peterson ne chars piya hua hoga issi liye nashe mai tha charsi admi. . .!!! =@

[wheedzaman]

he is white chicken so of course not out ,,, bluddy white skin losres ,,,if he was asian so umpire will give out

[jpcrabtree1]

I'm an umpire- correct decision was made in correspondence with the laws. Law 23- umpire may call and signal dead ball when "the striker is distracted by any noise or movement or in any other way while he is preparing to recieve or recieving a delivery".Also, Erasmus called and signalled dead ball before Pietersen played the shot, therefore, what Pietersen did was irrevelent,could have head butted it over the boundary if he wanted.Waving his bat at it like a feather duster pretty foolish though!

'He's white so not out'

You fucking idiots just play the race card every time, the ball was irrelevant, it was a dead ball, which is a universal call.
