    As said: So far Prior averages 50+ this series. That's simply good!

    Playing Harbhajan, apparently, is what took this series level, hence I applaud Dhoni :D .

    Prior? Anyway, two world class batsmen is more than enough, if others do some sort of half decent job. So far Prior has looked good (avg 53 so far). Compton looks promising (avg 35). Swann will be a handful. I reckon Bell (he does come back, right?) will score a few as well. Not sure who will...

    So is Kevin Pietersen. Look what he did! Edit: not saying Prince is anything near KP.....

    I thought it was pretty obvious you were being sarcastic. I'm with you. Totally puzzled why people cannot see Kallis has only The Don & Sir Gary ahead of him as even greater cricket players.

    ***Official*** South Africa in Australia 2012

    Good test cricket with some good performances, mostly with the bat. Also some question marks! About Tahir: I was thinking he was dropped before this test. Apparently not. I haven't watched too much, as play is from 1 to 8 am, so I have missed him, I guess. About dropping Rudolph: Where is...

    Though I agree with you that the pitch being a devil is vastly overrated, it would be nonsense to say this was a flat wicket. This pitch suited the spinners, A LOT. Hence the first time in history (I think) England spinners take 19 wickets. Broad didn't get the ball 2nd innings! On this pitch...

    Uhhhhh, watch Kallis save a Test in Australia?

    So, England win by ten wickets after losing the toss. It's fair to say England have the away advantage, as they have better spinners, and batsmen better equipped to play spin.

    Still looks like a good pitch to bat on...........

    Well, mostly my personal opinion. If a batsman smashes the ball into the air and is caught, nobody appeals. There is a line, which is not described in the laws afaik, from where you need the umpire to tell if it was hit by the bat. My gut just tells me that line hadn't be crossed here. As a...

    WTF????? What a ridiculous decision. Time to drop Dar? Also, Ojha should walk.

    ***Official*** England in India

    Instead of discussing how many runs India need, we have come to the point that an England win is 99% sure. As a neutral supporter, I am excited about the idea the series are level after two Tests. Monty or KP for MotM? It's my opinion that it was always going to be a spinner to excel in this...

    Monty coming out with a bat just doesn't look right.....

    It's news to Dhoni as well. He has hardly been used so far. Which can only be explained by the fact he has nothing to claim a slot in India's first XI anyway.

    I think the law is there to rule out a catch by simply picking the ball from the grill, after it got stuck in it.

    How many do England need to feel save?

    ***Official*** England in India

    The KP-can't-play-left-arm-spin issue is massively overrated. IMHO, that's all there is to say about it.

    From the laws: Here's the part of the Laws referring to catches off helmets: Law 32.3. "The act of making the catch shall start from the time when the ball in flight comes into contact with some part of a fielder's person other than a protective helmet, and shall end when a fielder obtains...
