***Official*** India in England 2014

Blimey that's a poor decision.

I only started watching today, was confused as to why Vijay wasn't reviewing. I assumed they used them all up yesterday, totally forgot about India's primitive views on DRS.

Why are people saying this? The first test was absolutely awful bar the final two sessions. Second test though, was genuinely great all the way through.
Kind of annoys me when **** tests have a great ending with a side batting for a draw. Makes people forget the rest was ****. I still here people tell me England's last series in NZ was great.

If only there was a system to sort out crap umpiring decisions.
Predictable but fair.

Maybe the umpire had got bored and wanted to exercise his primary digit. Or maybe he just couldn't imagine the ball passing over the stumps on this track.

Either way, well done Anderson getting 3 on this.

Yeah that first test was dreadful. Only barely became interesting when Sangakkara got out.

That Eden Park test was good the whole way through. Agree about the others though.

Sport does not have to be good all the way through to be great.

As it happens I don't think it was awful by any means on the first 4 days.

Anyway, I concur that this pitch is awful. If Dhoni gets a hundred here, I hope cricinfo classify it as a hundred in Asia. Hardly even qualifies as overseas conditions.
You use awful the way I use strange

To each his own, I guess. But the first four days weren't really good to watch at all for me.

And Jadeja well on his way to the first of many test triples, here.

I love it when bad umpiring decisions go against India.. The umpires should band together and fk them over repeatedly till their cricket board relents.. I so genuinely hope both kohli and pujara get out to absolutely shockers in the 2nd innings while Cook is given multiple lives on his way to an unwatchable 100...
