***Official*** England in India

It was plum, but you usually dont see umpires give them out. I think i remember the same umpire giving an almost identicle decision when Giles was bowling to Gibbs not too long ago (someone help me out here!).

 

[Jono]

The stream cuts off, gets back on, and Sachin is out. That happens a hell of a lot actually.

 

[pskov]

So, should Freddie enforce the follow on?

 

[Sanz]

Thoughts on your prediction of 550?

And where did I predict that India will make 550 ??

I think I remember which one you're referring to.

Anyway a lot rests on Kaif here. Come on son!

 

[Neil Pickup]

He gave two in SA this time last year. De Villiers on 92 was another.

I may have just woken up half my house as that last wicket fell. Great ball and great decision!

 

[adharcric]

On this pitch I expect India to make atleast 550 runs. Jaffer and Dravid still batting with Tendulkar, Laxman, Pathan, Dhoni, Kaif to come..India's position looks pretty good to me unless we screw it up in the morning.

here, sanz

 

[adharcric]

was that really such a great ball from panesar? to me it seemed ordinary and tendulkar fell asleep or something. did i miss something?

 

[maxpower]

Dhoni dropped(can you call it a drop?) Bell second ball

yes thats a drop alright.

 

[Pratters]

When did I say India will get 550?

No dont digress that expect and get would be different because if India would have got around 550 you would go blah blah saying I said you did regarding England in the first Inning.

Dhoni bangs Flintoff straight down the ground

 

[superkingdave]

another Dhonie goes, Flintoff strikes!

 

[SpaceMonkey]

Horrible shot by Dhoni in ANY situation, yet alone when India need to rebuild.

 

[superkingdave]

What a session for England, although you could see that wicket coming

 

[chalky]

Terrible shot by Dhoni gifts England another wicket.

 

[pskov]

Well, looks like Dhoni decided to attack then....

Oh yes, I would never had dreamed of such a start by England today.

 

[Neil Pickup]

That's a daft shot, really off balance and result is a sitter for GoJo.

Eight down! It's dreamland!

 

[adharcric]

oh my

 

[Jono]

Argh Mahendra what was that?

Good bowling by Freddy. England are on absolute fire.

it cut back a little i think, sachin looked annoyed at the decision, but he should rather be annoyed at himself for playing such bad definsive shot...as i type dhoni gone to another rash shot..
