    Oh...., Bell is cruising!

    *Official* Second Test at Trent Bridge

    Though I do no always agree with him, I think he is the rare kind of commentator that combines a strong opinion with decent arguements!

    *Official* Second Test at Trent Bridge

    I see what you mean, but I do not completely agree. Methinks it was Harbhy's role, as leading wicket taker, to speak up for UDRS. He could have added some pressure to make DRS possible for LBW-decisions that involve bat-pad/pad-bat and/or pitching/impact uncertainties.

    *Official* Second Test at Trent Bridge

    From cricinfo: Hussain says he has earned a right to voice his opinion on cricket after 96 Tests, and that's what Star Cricket is paying him. Shastri says India too has a right to not trust the technology if they don't trust it. Hussain says he would have said the same even if it was Zimbabwe...

    It was a big mistake for Sharma to have a haircut. He looks less threatening this way!

    So, that could go any way!

    What's the news on Trott, if there is any?

    Umpiring Errors

    Seems big nonsense to me. If any substance could actually cool the bat down, rapidly it would only shorten the time a spot would be visible with a heat measuring device. If one would manipulate hotspot, the only way to do so is to prevent (or seriously decrease the amount of) any kinetic energy...

    *Official* Second Test at Trent Bridge

    Just wow! What a Test this is. This can still go everywhere! Though it feels as if India's 67 run lead is actually England's lead.......

    *Official* Second Test at Trent Bridge

    I'm not so sure 220 is only a couple of runs below par. If Broad can make a fifty, so can Dravid, Sachin & VVS. Day 2 morning session might very well be the session of the match!

    Apparently, barbers in Nottingham are cheaper than in India or London :) .

    *Official* Second Test at Trent Bridge

    Though losing Gambhir is indeed a blow, I strongly disagree with Dravid being referred to as a makeshift opener (though he obviously is one, giving the defenition of the word makeshift). With Laxman and SDT in at 3 & 4, 30-3 after an hour would really be extraordinary, even with inspired English...

    Any news on Tremmers? I had a chance to read some articles. Strauss seems to ahve played down the injury....

    *Official* Second Test at Trent Bridge

    Well, I agree England are strong favourites, but this is somewhat over the top.

    Your best moment as a fan (int'l cricket)?

    Easiest question ever!

    *Official* Second Test at Trent Bridge

    India can indeed only improve. This is basically the same team that got India to the #1 spot. They won't fail too many times in a row, right? However, the 196 run included two declarations. It really was a big, big difference. I do not think that the English win was due to excellent form...

    Good call by Billy! Good bowling too!

    *Official* First Test at Lord's

    Yeah, but seemed a bit random. Possibly indeed they are booing the members for not participating in the wave..... Makes sense then. BTW, a lot happening there!

    *Official* First Test at Lord's

    What's up with the crowd????? Yelling randomly? Whatever it is, I think it's annoying.
