Lets not pretend you came in here and said he was batting ****, either. What you said was completely different.

Disgraceful that someone would post specifically to get a reaction like that...

I don't know that they did, actually.

Batted skipper. Now double it at least.

not really. when it is plumb, you can tell more often than not by the conviction of the appeal particularly against spin (slower) bowling. all the players around the bat have a great view.

I actually got a DNS error when I tried to post that, so I figured it hadn't sent. I cba actually typing it up a second time until it got brought up again.

Awesome though.

England trail by 250 runs even now.....talk about a tall order

[Stapel]

So, there's hope for England. A fifty!

The pitch is still good for batting, right? So, was it right to ask England to follow on? I don't think it improves India's chances of winning. Then again, not much room for improvement anyway!

T. Chappell made about 80 runs in 8 innings in that wsc series btw........

Will be five down before we make 150.

Ink it in.

Now, post UDRS, we know such deliveries go on to hit the stumps very regularly, but it's because of Hawkeye that we have this knowledge. India voluntarily abjure the system, so maybe he's of the opinion they can't have it both ways.

the bowl rarely goes over the stumps in india so the only main factor that the umpire has to consider is whether the ball is in line or not. long strides don't matter when the bowl's hit you so low on the pad.

probably time to bring on umesh yadav i say.

Probably not being given as the umpire can't predict how far it will turn with a big stride in. That is their get out excuse anyway.

looks like there will probably be a 4th innings. england's lineup is too long to not manage to score more than 322 judging by the way things are going now. cook set for a 150+
