I didI defy anyone to say we want to get anywhere near that.
Wish I could believe that tbh. But IMO if you hadn't, you should have some serious questions asked about your captaincy.Yep this. Good stuff. And SS, I wouldn't've appealed. Trust me on that. A warning to the batsman perhaps but straight out appeal and no back-down, no way
It only happened beacuse it was the last ball of the session, right? Both batsmen nedded uo neaar the Pavillion to get a cuppa!What would have happened if there was no Tea?
...But just think about it. If that had stood, we could have well been heading into Ind-Aus 07/8 territory wrt relations between the two teams. I defy anyone to say we want to get anywhere near that.
quelle supriseShastri, Bhogle and Gavaskar saying they wouldn't have called him back.
I hope this doesn't happen, and that plenty of past Indian players come out and give MS their support. He did a wonderful thing for the game.Dhoni will get crucified in Indian Media by some then,unfortunately.
Yep this. Wonder if MS and the Indians gave that any thought during Tea?But just think about it. If that had stood, we could have well been heading into Ind-Aus 07/8 territory wrt relations between the two teams. I defy anyone to say we want to get anywhere near that.
Had they been in Dhoni's place I suspect they might, well the first two anywayShastri, Bhogle and Gavaskar saying they wouldn't have called him back.
Awta so so muchWish I could believe that tbh. But IMO if you hadn't, you should have some serious questions asked about your captaincy.
And so should Dhoni. It's all great and heartwarming and all that ****, but it's within the rules and it's Bell's fault. Your job is to win the ****ing series. I hate this recall, even if Bell gets out next over and India end up winning.
Other captains, Strauss included, have done the proper thing (the proper thing in my mind is to do what it takes to help their team win). This sportsman like 'making a statement' crap is just bull****.
awtaLoL mental sport.
Drinks breaks then.It only happened beacuse it was the last ball of the session, right? Both batsmen nedded uo neaar the Pavillion to get a cuppa!
