What's with Southee throwing the ball?

[iHammad]

He just hit a Hafeez with a full fleshed throw!

NZ commentator is saying "it's just out of frustration"

[Down2Earth]

he's obstructing the batsman too when running. he's a loser. just like his captain

[MRSN]

Should be banned ,its third time now

[iRfaN_LA]

The worst part is that Simon Doull is defending his throw. What a douchebag.

The worst part is Darrly Harper giving Hafeez a talking instead of Southee

The buffoon has no idea of umpiring !!!

[the saint]

I wonder what would happen if Shoaib Akhtar did this?

[gangstathe13th]

That's the second time. Surely, he would be fined/banned now!

[*sallu*]

As I said, I will not be surprised if they fine Hafeez for this

Why would he be banned for throwing the ball?

Sanga, one of the gentlemen of the game, and what has Vettori done?

[Hassan0987]

Really wierd Harper gives Hafeez a talk, and does not to Southee..

Since your being sarcastic why haven't you added Ponting too?

[sanakazmi]

I think NZ are embarrassed of that Spirit of Cricket award the ICC always gives them. Kind of like winning Most Hardworking or Cleanest Room at American Idol.

[alberto]

southee should be banned for 5 odis for his improper conduct

[alberto]

hafeez should have retaliated like miandad against lillee

"WISE THINKING" my butt

[sanakazmi]

does anyone have a clip?

[alberto]

a broad wannabe

[w8in_4_0402]

poor behaviour from him.

should get fined it not just once he has done this.

[bobwoolmersarmy]

mark ramprakash calling it' totally unacceptable behaviour ' really sticks up for pakistan team this man

[ssuhaide]

Although Southee was wrong Hafeez was probably given a talking to by the umpire for waving the bat in Southee's face.

Umpire could have perhaps stepped in and had a word with both bowlers. Storm in a teamcup

[FastBowler]

Southee talking to Hafeez, Hafeez naturally responded, he was holding the bat since he was batting, something I'm not sure Tucker realized, and it was natural that, when talking and raising his hand, he would raise the bat as well. What did Hafeez do wrong there, I'd like to know?
Its not like Haddin raising his bat at Benn in an aggressive manner, and that too in a matter which didn't concern him.

[FastBowler]

Watch highlights during lunch, you'll see Hafeez was definitely not at fault, this was definitely Southee showing frustration, but going too far.

[iHammad]

Daryl Harper is just a racist idiot.

[Talat]

What are the odds that the match referee does feck all. A bunch of graceless oafs.

[zimran72]

If anything this incident proves that the umpires are more biased than incompetent.

Yesterday Adnan Akmal got lectured for celebrating a wicket and today it's Hafeez for getting hit and elbowed by Southee.

Oh the decisions column happens to be 6-2 in favor of NZ coincidentally.

[oracleg]

Watching the game on sky sports stream and at the break Jeremy Coney had a good solution - simply give the umpires the authority to whip out a red card and tell the bowler he can't bowl again.

[sanakazmi]

btw, did any of you guys notice ramiz raja defending hafeez AND criticizing the ump in that over? what's happened to ramiz!!!

[nsaviguru]

The Pakistani bowlers really should hammer Southee with some fast short pitch bowling in the ODIs. We all know whites will always get away with these sort of actions, so the best way to response is for Pakistan to take it upon themselves and hammer away at this guy. If a sub continent player throw a ball intentionally at a batsman the uproar would be significant and the bowler would probably get suspended. The double standard really pisses me off when it comes to the umpires and match referees.

Really? What did he say?

[Saqs]

Southee looks like a tool.

[sanakazmi]

When the ump started reprimanding Hafeez instead of Southee, he pointed it out and said this is the second time Southee has been giving chat to Hafeez in this over, the ump is telling Hafeez to calm down but he should be talking to Southee. Said something like "Harper reallllly needs to control things."

[WNC]

Yeah well Southee walked up to him and had his elbow against him, that's why he raised the bat to tell him to back off.

It's just Southee trying to be The Kiwi equivalent of rotlu Broad, rehne do bache ko....

[kkmix]

Southee is very friendly with Pakistani players, I doubt Pakistani players would lodge a complain or anything against him.

[ShehryarK]

Pathetic stuff from Southee. And from the umpires, in particular Harper. No surprise there, then.

Vettori the Cowardly Whiner leading by example, as always.

I'm not one to criticise umpires and hardly ever impugn their or anyone else's motives, but this was shocking.

Very well done to for standing up for what's right - he was top class in the commentary box today!

[Saj]

Absolutely disgraceful stuff from Southee.

He is at best an average cricketer who is lucky that he was born in New Zealand, as I don't think he'd make into too many other starting lineups around the world.

He threw the ball intentionally at Hafeez and then didnt do what most cricketers would have done which is to apologise to the batsman.

Southee was lucky that Hafeez didnt wrap his bat around Southee's neck.

[161]

Stuart Broad syndrome exactly .. another frustrated girly boy.

To be honest its a recent trend of so called wanabe fast bowlers, Broad, Southee to throw balls at batsmen in a childish fit of fustration. I really wish Hafeez had stayed in longer and really hammered southee around the park!

[Sherlock]

Some people on here, I won't name them, but you know who you are, seem to think it's passion and fine. But when someone like Broad hits and injures our asylum seeker friend, it thought to be out of "frustration". When someone like Southee does the same, and yet again its our Wicketkeeper, its said to be fine because its minor or just "frustration"

Now I don't mind Passion and Enthusiasm, but when it leads to injures (former) and many other indiscretions just based on Broad's character, then its unacceptable. Regarding Southee, It wasn't once but twice he did this, both times when NZ were struggling to take wickets. Btw neither of the throws were because a runout chance was to be had, it was because, unfortunately some people are seen as untouchable.

I can honestly see a batsmen saying enough is enough and throw the willow at the bowler, if that happens again.

[Looney]

should tell the guys if again someone throws the ball at you , throw your bat at them .

[Ryankhan]

leave southee doggy to SHOAIB AKHTAR and see how he reacts against the PINDI EXPRESSS.

[Sunil-Havesacar]

Anyone has a clip?

[sultanator]

He's just a wimp, i'd like to see him throw the ball at the beasts

[Passionate-FastBowler]

when shoaib WAS lethal in his days ...these pathetic cowards the likes of Blondie broad type characters would never even open their mouths whether is was the aussies or pansies/whiners !!!

thats why you need a lethal pace bowler not just fast....to teach these spoiled brats a lesson

PCB should lodge a strong complaint against it and build their case on the biased views taken by the umpires . Let the board know that although we are not the favoured team yet however Pakistan is no easy PUSH OVER either and will speak out louder than loud when they're humble players are being taken for a ride . This Is nonsense to say the least.

[Hash]

Southee clearly overstepped the mark when he deliberately threw the ball at Hafeez.

I like to see a bit of sledging, banter and verbals because it adds excitement and flavour, makes the game fun to watch.

But throwing a rock at a man is physical assault. It's going too far.

[akamaka]

Really think they should have lodges an appeal wit the match referee. Southee threw the ball at his leg, umpire didnt say anything. He came up and shoved an elbow at his side, and started annoying hafeez and when hafeez replied umpire harper gave him a talking. Totally unfair, by the umpire. As punishment i hope he gets a hundred thrashings in the upcoming ODIs.

[KingKhanWC]

This is nothing new for Pak batsmen. Harmisson to Inzy and Broad to Haider.

A new law needs to be bought in for me. Any bowler throwing the ball back to the stumps/keeper which hits the batsmen should be banned for 2 games and 4 runs given to the batsmen.

[TigerJat]

he should've just pointed to the scoreboard, that is the best defence in these cases, unless your team is losing...
