Poor Ian Bell, always taking blows for the team in the field. That alone should earn him a place in the test side.

 

[aussie]

it seems as if that blow has rattled Dhoni.

 

[adharcric]

That looked a little like it missed his helmet.

 

[aussie]

well if he was that was a smoking cover drive

 

[adharcric]

Way to go Dhoni! Blast Freddie, retaliation now.

 

[Jono]

Lol, this is a great battle.

And yeah that blow missed the helmet I reckon.

 

[aussie]

i'd give Panesar a break their most people would have dropped that gunshot..

 

[superkingdave]

you cannot drop Dravid!!!!! Matt Prior!

 

[aussie]

now that was unacceptable

 

[jack_sparrow]

holy crap....dhone and dravid dropped collectively twice in teh over! o lord. Poor anderson. First panesar and then flinty. ch ch ch. dam shame.

dhoni dropped twice already.

 

[adharcric]

Phew! 7 more dropped catches to go till things are even!

 

[superkingdave]

what a muppet, he supposed to be a decent fielder, he's now dropped 2 absolute dolly's this series, and that last one could be a series losing one.

 

[chalky]

Just hurled my coffee across the room after that drop by Prior. The trend of English wicketkeepers who can't catch continues.

dhoni dropped twice already.

what was the other dhoni drop?

 

[Jono]

England doing their best to even the scores with dropped catches it seems.

 

[superkingdave]

ha ha that's how to catch Prior!

 

[adharcric]

bloody hell

 

[aussie]

Anderson, Jonesu what a catch what a game he is having. Big up the Lancastrain

 

[superkingdave]

It wasn't a good ball that got the wicket, but i think Anderson has bowled a good spell here.

 

[chalky]

Watching this series it has confirmed to me that India will still struggle to win a series in Soth Africa, England or Australia. Apart from Dravid the batsmen's technique against the short or moving ball is very poor. Sehwag in particular seems to have gone backwards since he scored centuries in England, Australia and South Africa.
