    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2013/14

    The wickets India have taken this innings were all a bit lucky. A run-out (good fielding though, but an experienced fellow like Graeme Smith should have known better), a short ball that stayed freakishly low, an inside edge played on, and wrong LBW-decision. If one of these two falls, I can see...

    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2013/14

    Here we go! The best thing that can happen in cricket! An proper Test Match day 5 evening session, withh all possible results still a realistic option. The best part is that I'm gonna watch it all.

    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2013/14

    I agree with that I think umpires should use DRS the same way they use replays for run-outs.

    Though I agree DRS is indeed for situations like this, I refuse to accept that umpires have no chance to pick up a big edge.

    He's been around long enough to realise he has gotten away with some plumb LBW's as well, I guess.

    ***Official*** India in South Africa 2013/14

    The finger went up really fast. If a ball is close the bat, an umpire really should take his time!

    Will Chanderapul be considered an all time great?

    For me he is most defenitely an ATG. This! If we would decide to agree, for the sake of argument, that The Shiv has indeed played too many selfish innings (something to which I strongly disgaree), one should realise he has been in, in far more in times of crisis than any of the other...

    If India manage to score 175 runs in a single session once more, Dhoni will declare rather sooner than later. Man...., 175 runs in a session, for no wickets, on day three.....

    I really thought he got some wood on that ball...... Was surprised by the lack of any form of half decent appeal.

    *Official* Third Test at the WACA

    Whatever the Australian batting is today, I reckon it's good for the series. Two Ashes series decided after 3 out of 5 Tests, within a year, is just stupid.

    *Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

    The problem is that Johnson might very well turn into crap again as early as tomorow. Or he might not....

    *Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

    Too bad that empty stand wasn't finished in time!

    *Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

    Do Aus have a mid-on and two short mid-wickets? One a bit forward and one a bit backward when Siddle is bowling to Root? Why is that?

    *Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

    Makes sense, given the fact some stands are sold out, whereas others are completely empty. Actually makes my questions really silly. Then again, it's early on my side of the planet.

    *Official* Second Test at the Adelaide Oval

    Probably a bit too early to say, but this series is not exactly going to a situation I would like to see, being a mostly neutral viewer. Anyway, I've some silly questions: -Where is the revolution meter? I really liked it! -Why is the Adelaide Oval not even half full?

    *Official* First Test at The Gabba

    I've only seen both evening sessions. Thus the Haddin-Johnson and Rogers-Warner partnerships. From that I'd say this is still very much a pitch to bat on. I can't really figure out why England collapsed the way they did.....

    *Official* First Test at The Gabba

    Well, this a quite a way to wake up...... An English collapse!

    *Official* First Test at The Gabba

    I can't help but feel this series will turn out to be another not-so-close series. Sure, the Aussies were in a far deeper hole at lunch, but they are still in a series deflating hole, imho. I really hope they climb out of it, but they probably won't. I like these kind of selective statistics...

    Mitchell Johnson's Return to Test Matches

    It really seems a step backwards for the Aussies. I don't think any English batsmen will sleep any minute less for having to face MJ.

    Channel 9 finally bow to benchmark00 pressure

    First of all, I would like to apologise if my earlier remarks were aimed at the man, rather than his point. Indeed the dumbest arguement ever. But then again, these are arguements are made (at least firmly changed) by you. Thank FSM I'm not dumb enough myself of producing such nonsense ;) ...
