***Official*** India in West Indies

[Jono]

I was more referring to India leaving with nothing, but you're right. India could be skittled and WI could be in the driver's seat. A road isn't always a road for the whole test, but from what I saw it does seem like it will be.

I am sure MODs wouldnt mind as youtube and google videos are being allowed

The question was:

"I want to know if there's ever been a case where a batsman has left the ball (from a fast bowler) and the ball ends up hitting the middle or even leg stump."

12.6 Mohammad Asif to Samaraweera, OUT: what a delivery! pitched outside
off and nipped back in, Samaraweera offers no shot and the ball
crashes on the middle and leg! Sri Lanka in deep trouble!

jeez, 207/1... I predict Lara not doing well and Windies getting more than 400 in the first dig.

Or the West Indies could collapse today and India would be in the driver's seat. [/knock on wood]

The umpires have been very consistent: consistently wrong.

First test it was the Indian bowlers ineptitude. The second test it was the weather. Today its the umpires?

The umpiring hasn't exactly been superb in this series for the West Indies either. It's part of cricket. Get over it.

Yes, so is rain. Doesn't mean I have to like it.

It also doesn't make it any less annoying that you're making excuses on the second day of a Test match.

Regardless of whether you find it annoying, the umpiring has been ****** and all the decisions so far have been against the Indians. WI had bad umpiring against them in games past, and I admit that too. You can call out players if they're doing bad, but you can't call out umpires?

Preferably not in such overawed frustration.

New Ball taken, as ganga is on 99...

Why not? There were about three or four times that I thought it was clearly out, and hawkeye confirmed that. So yea, I'm frustrated. As no doubt you were when a couple people were given out at the end of the first test when they shouldn't have been.

 

[aussie]

haha, fantastic batting from Sarwan

 

[silentstriker]

6 fours in one over.


Didn't I say they can't keep bowling well consistently adharcric? He bowled well yesterday, and Munaf's back to crap today.

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Wow...

 

[Mr Mxyzptlk]

Why not?

Because it seems a tad immature.

But let's not pursue this any further. Proceed.

[alternative]
