    The "W" word

    Also for England?

    The "W" word

    Yup, 4-0 seems likely! If england win (not per se 4-0), it will be their fifth consecutive series victory. What's the record on that?

    *Official* Third Test at Edgbaston

    The fact that Bopara was (rightfully) judged to be no Test player in 2009, doesn't mean he cannot be one now. I guess he should be judged on FC averages, contributions, and dismissals over the last few months? I don't have a proper overview, but I can't really think of too many impressive FC...

    *Official* Third Test at Edgbaston

    That sentence just doesn't make sense............ And he averaged 97,5 in the series against SL.

    *Official* Second Test at Trent Bridge

    Must be Broad. He delivered when England were in a deep hole, twice.

    *Official* Second Test at Trent Bridge

    A 400 run lead, 4 wickets to take...................., and no 3rd slip?

    What a daft thing to do. Going for the hook at this stage......

    *Official* Second Test at Trent Bridge

    India have not given up a draw, I guess. They've only given up the win. Probably not the best way to show any convidence, but also not utterly ridiculous either.

    Cricket and the English Education System

    I've always thought Andrew Flintoff is solid evidence that cricket is not that posh. But your post shines a different light on it, since Freddie is as northern as they come.

    Would you have upheld the appeal?

    It wouldn't have happened, if not for the last ball before tea. Bell jogged towards Morgan, to walk on, to the pavillion. Otherwise, he would have prepared to face the ball!

    Cricket and the English Education System

    Guys, please help me out! Introduction: Two weeks ago, I was on tour in East Sussex, where we (my relatively crap cricket team, which has only three players who have held a bat before the age of 30) would play two matches against village teams. Good fun! Unfortunately, our 2nd match was rained...

    Would you have upheld the appeal?

    I've been watching the incident again and again. Praveen acts as if he is reasoanbly sure it is a FOUR. Though he doesn't signal a boundary in the usual proper way, his body language DOES signal a four. And Bell picked that up. Technically Bell was out, but only so because he was...

    *Official* Second Test at Trent Bridge

    It only happened beacuse it was the last ball of the session, right? Both batsmen nedded uo neaar the Pavillion to get a cuppa! From cricinfo: Stupendous gesture from Dhoni, assuming Praveen or the other fielders did not signal that was four. Actually, I thought Praveen's body language did...

    *Official* Second Test at Trent Bridge

    If I were captain, I would never have made that appeal in the first place....not in a million years. Especially against a bunch of ****s. Why you think Ian Bell is a bunch of ****s, escapes me.

    *Official* Second Test at Trent Bridge

    Sloppy from Bell. Out according to the Laws. But that's not cricket. A fielder can only act that way if he is pretty sure it is a boundary. Hence Bell was fooled into thinking it was a boundary. Maybe not on purpose by Praveen, but that's not really the point. He tricked Bell into it! Mahendra...

    *Official* Second Test at Trent Bridge

    You're being too pessimistic! Effectively it is 50-odd for 2. That's nowhere near slipping away. England have the momentum now, but we've seen the momentum change in this Test a few times!

    *Official* Second Test at Trent Bridge

    :lol: You can't seriously think there is something like India's dominance in cricket....... That's really nonsense!
