England vs India

[Spy Bee]

If England get a result out of this I don't know how they will select a Man of The Match!

[VladimirIlyich]

I would never rate india as the best team in the world,not just now but in general,due to their abysmal form outside india. The same maybe could apply to South Africa too.

England are as good as any at present but its very competitive in world cricket at present.

Turning out to be a great test match this. Bell has batted brilliantly and is looking for his first century at number 3.

[Joe Le Taxi]

Ended up getting shitfaced and cheering like a lunatic when Broad got that hat-trick.

[Spy Bee]

What a knock by Bell. How many do England need though? The way the wicket is playing now I think you have to be looking for 350.

England will want a lead of 350 at least. Time will not be a problem for India to get the runs.

[Spy Bee]

This is bizarre, looks like Bell has been run out in the strangest circumstances.

 

Chasing over 350 hardly ever happens in the fourth innings.

Cunts trick from India there.

Cunts trick from India there.

Game could change on that. But if they need it that badly they can have it.

[Pidge]

Fucking hell, so much for the spirit of the game.

 

The pundits are wrong here, Bell took his cue from the clueless fielder ambling around trying to look for where the ball was. India were not acting like the ball was live until the fielder found the ball again. By that time Bell was wandering off. Stupid for all involved.

[Spy Bee]

Bell claims that over was called. In which case he should not be given out.

[Pidge]

It's the appeal which is annoying here. Twattish way to get a wicket.

 

Maybe I'm just pissed off because I felt he might have been pushing for a double century by the time the new ball came.

[longballs]

Shocking by India that and almost as bad to hear Gower and Nasser trying to defend it. Bell grounded his bat in the crease, waited and then walked over to Morgan. He wasn't looking for run and it was clear that he and most of the players thought that was tea.

 

Yes, technically it should be out, but shit like that is not what cricket is about, it's not in the spirit of the game and it should not have happened.

[Spy Bee]

The crowd are right here, the analysts and commentators are wrong.

[Spy Bee]

Oh here you go, India have withdrawn their appeal.

[Yozzer]

Hahahaha, boss. Fair play there.

[King Emlyn]

Fair play to India.

[Spy Bee]

Good decision from Dhoni. He should be congratulated for seeing the light there.

[lifetime fan]

India withdraw the appeal.

[longballs]

The right decision there and as I touched on above; that's what makes cricket great.

 

Fair play to India/Dhoni. No matter how the pundits tried to dress it up, it wasn't right and I`d say that pressure must have been applied to the India team there. Well done all the same though.

[Indian Red]

Bollocks that is. Bell knew he was gone and should have gone. TWas his own fault. Dhoni should have stuck to his appeal. And dont even get me started on the spirit of the game and all that crap.

[Spy Bee]

Negged for being unsporting.

During tea the England coach and captain approached the Indian coach and captain and asked them to withdraw their appeal.

[Jairzinho]

The wrong decision has been made, thankfully.

[Indian Red]

Haha sporting. Get off yer fucking snooty high horse. Cricket to us is very similar to f00tb@11 to you. And spirit of cricket is utter bollocks imo. Its a tough game and there are two sides trying to win it. Bell was gone and he knew it. You dont blame anyone for being an idiot on the pitch. Should have accepted it and walked.
