England V India ***Clash of the Heavyweights*** Test, T20 and ODI Series

Where's the spirit now? Trott should have walked.

 

[Alpherah]

Bit of a let off for Eng there perhaps, 2.5m rule might of saved him but..

Your lucky i've eaten and am happy bear again. <3

 

[sigma]

A bit too much spirit from Kumar there, bit less please next time.

 

[Rich_L]

Wow, DRS for lbws would have been really useful there

Nice to have a No. 3 facing the new ball even with a crocked shoulder

Aggers- "I don't want to argue with you"
Boycott- "well you're entitled to your opinion, but i'm not going to change mine"

What do we think is the minimum lead we need?

I reckon we'll be ok with anything over 300 tbh.

 

[sigma]

Tell you what though, this swinging new ball is no good for India if they somehow manage to get into bat late today.

It's already over tbh but to really put it to bed I think they'll settle for 350+.

350 for pure safety imo

Anderson's probably hoping they finish us off quickly!

Broady Broad will probably get another hat trick.

Inc another dodgy LBW, because we haven't had enough DRS debate yet ;p

See this whole review thing is stupid.

They should set a standard for ALL tests around the world and just leave it at that. I mean if you win series' with some form of DRS, no DRS, 'full' DRS, how can they be comparable? They can't.

Something we can agree on.
Love or hate India for the Hawk Eye drama, it should be a case of full DRS or no DRS, would have solved a lot of the drama and confusion.

Absolutely that sounds remarkably like common sense, which the ICC *cough* BCCI *cough* seem to lack regarding the review systems.

 

[Alpherah]

I can't tell if Trott's in pain or not .. he always has that face :x

 

[sigma]

Well, my view point is pretty consistent, teams should play to the law and the law should be consistent.

There goes Trott. This isn't looking good for India...

It's a shame that bribery still exists sadly it's part of all sports and most parts of life, but that's another story for another day.

 

[Alpherah]

Trott goes and there's still Bresnan, Broad and Swann to come.. when was the last time we had this depth ?

 

[Caffrey]

Something we can agree on.

I don't think you'll find any cricket fan who'll disagree with that.

would have

Stop picking on me! Lol I'm sleepy and full of food
