*Official* Second Test at Trent Bridge

[Anku31]

From Cricinfo:
"Where is the spirit of cricket? Bell was initially intended to play straight and then suddenly he changed mind and it flew to slips. It shoudn't be given out as it was not intended to play to slip."

 

[smash84]

that Bell decision probably would not have proved decisive to the outcome of the match since England already seem to have the match in the bag

 

[Sutts]

Brilliant innings by Bell, no matter what anyone says about the controversy it was a sublime innings.

This. It's just a shame that 95% of the chat about today will be about the run out incident.

 

[grecian]

Bad joke.

Oh, I liked it, that's why I used the laughing smiley, something I normally hate because it's been over-used by some shocking posters in the past, Present, and no doubt future

Anyway, back tp the match, the great thing about our line-up in this situation is they all score runs so quickly, wouldn't mind if Trott didn't get a bat, TBH.

Morgan playing a blinder here after tea.

Indeed. Milking mediocre "spin" is what he does. Would be interesting to know the proportion of his ODI runs against part-time tweakers.

Anyway, a very classy act from MS Dhoni to recall Bell. Personally I wouldn't have held it against him if he hadn't withdrawn the appeal because it was dozy stuff from Bell, I think it was the mark of a gentleman.

God I wish people would stop bringing up the Colly captained England v NZ incident. There's no comparison whatsoever. On that occasion there was a very real chance of a run out and then the collision happened because the Kiwi batsman got in the path of the fielder coming in and the run out became a certainty. Whatever you think of that there's no similarity at all.

Wow... massive apologies. In my very limited time of watching cricket, that was the most similar incident I could think of, and indeed there are similarities. I also pointed out the differences I saw at the time. If you're gonna forcefully order me not to then I guess I should just shut my big mouth.

Yeah, he was just being stupid

Quick runs pretty much not relevant, it's only day three.

 

[Contra]

Gone!

Oh!! Don't worry.Strauss will cry & ask Dhoni to let Cook bat again,in place of Trott.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Ha, new ball does for Morgan. Lovely nut from Kumar.

 

[Contra]

So what's up with Trott? Is he gonna bat or what?

 

[Prince EWS]

Don't people get bored of writing messages on internet forums?

Eventually. I don't think I've posted on the incident yet, for example. It does take about 25,000 posts for it start happening, though.

 

[Daemon]

Someone PM me when this Bell run out **** discussion is over (or when Cevno logs out) kthxbai

 

[Anku31]

Out is Morgan!! I think i did smell the collapse right.

 

[Contra]

Well there he comes, gotta get em early surely with his injury

 

[superkingdave]

Trott eh?

 

[grecian]

Quick runs pretty much not relevant, it's only day three.

Demoralizes the oppo IMHO, and the game never stands still. Anyway Trott in now, so that'll stem it a bit.

 

[Howe_zat]

Two wickets changes the lot. Come on, 400 please, please.

 

[Sutts]

Good ball from Kumar that.
