[Tom Halsey]

Just imagine the freezing forecast for tomorrow in England.

sehwag's contribution will be always a bonus for India and nobody really cares if he goes for a duck.

And if you believe that, you'll believe anything...

 

[Tom Halsey]

...including Alan Smith's own goal today

Very funny.

 

[luckyeddie]

That was another fearful bonk on the noggin Ganguly suffered.

Time to get rid of those stupid pith helmets and go back to the old style?

 

[luckyeddie]

Anyone care to comment on that absolutely superb decision by Shepherd to give Dravid not out?

No?

I thought not.

Hypocrites.

 

[NikhilN]

I would...It was great!

to be frank, I didn't see it (too cold over here to wake up before 7'o clock)and I don't have a prblm to comment on good side of things

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

to be frank

Interesting turn of phrase really. Anyone know the origins?

 

[NikhilN]

CDAK... how cold is it there?

I'm not an English expert and probably many "non-orthodox" usage may come from me.Kinly bear with me.

 

[CDAK]

CDAK... how cold is it there?

feeling cold is relative(varies from person to person.) and I feel quite uncomfortable in 7degree here(the normal temp is 30-40 degree)

Face it - the umpiring is ALWAYS sub-standard as far as some people are concerned.

*V keeps his mouth shut to please Eddie *:saint:

 

[V Reddy]

Pretty good first session for India but they need to carry this for atleast 3 sessions.

 

[CDAK]

.

India needs such high standard umpiring(which was lacking till now) for the rest of the game and series.

 

[NikhilN]

Finally Tendulkar plays a good inning

 

[Adamc]

Finally Tendulkar plays a good inning

Then gets out just as he was looking in good touch.

 

[NikhilN]

A big hand to dravid for the 50

 

[rajat]

Not a 'bit' of an exaggeration - a 'lot' of an exaggeration.

Possible LBW's

I can remember one from AA to Langer which looked close but a little high, one to Hayden which was most definitely worth a shout but could easily have been missing leg, one from Kumble (may have been to Hayden) which looked very close, one from Kumble to Hayden sweeping which was optimistic in the extreme

Possible Catch

Khan(?) to Ponting - everyone went up for a catch behind the wicket, ball clearly hit the top of the pad.

Out of the 4 or 5 detailed above, NONE were plumb, a couple looked 50:50 (hawk-eye indicated extreme top of leg stump on one, off bail on another) and the others were rubbish shouts.

Mr. Luckyeddie "duck" , now i know y r u always trying to please the australians. Beleive me, it wont be of any avail. The australians are not going to do any favours on you(neither in the cricket field, nor on this forum) when the ashes starts next year.

But keep on Trying. That's what the england team always does.
They always try try and try to lose

The fact that you have to resort to slagging off England to push your point home is telling...

 

[NikhilN]

no question that aussies will win this now unless india can really pull something which is not impossible but very very hard at this point
