This. It's just a shame that 95% of the chat about today will be about the run out incident.Brilliant innings by Bell, no matter what anyone says about the controversy it was a sublime innings.
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 futureBad joke.
Indeed. Milking mediocre "spin" is what he does. Would be interesting to know the proportion of his ODI runs against part-time tweakers.Morgan playing a blinder here after tea.
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.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.
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."
Oh!! Don't worry.Strauss will cry & ask Dhoni to let Cook bat again,in place of Trott.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.
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.Don't people get bored of writing messages on internet forums?
Demoralizes the oppo IMHO, and the game never stands still. Anyway Trott in now, so that'll stem it a bit.Quick runs pretty much not relevant, it's only day three.
