Dr Gloom 21288 Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 good knock from broad. just need jimmy to revamp his role from cardiff last year and stay with him for a bit longer. after that nightmare lunch session we could be on the verge of a semi competitive score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 42611 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Class start. Wicket first ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21288 Posted July 29, 2011 Author Share Posted July 29, 2011 Fascinating days play. Nice to a good old fashioned test match wicket with plenty in it for bowlers. It'll be interesting to see if it swings as much tomorrow if the sun shines. This has got a result written all over it. Could go either way.

Kid Dynamite 6817 Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 Durham match was good today too. Needed 120 runs with 3 wickets left to beat Sri Lanka A. 8th wicket partnership of 114 sorted that out! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaddockLad 16511 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 Blowers nearly had a heart attack on TMS Â Boycott just saying before Broad's first wicket in that spell : "I saw the lad's fatha this morning and told him the lad should be pitching it oop a bit" Â He eventually go 4 wickets for no runs in 3 overs. Class stuff...and he's just got them all out for 288. Broad 6-46 in that innings, his best test figures. India lead by 67 and they reckon it will be easier to bat the longer the match goes on.

snakehips 0 Posted July 30, 2011 Share Posted July 30, 2011 One wonders if Trott and Swann are going to be able to bat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21288 Posted July 31, 2011 Author Share Posted July 31, 2011 very well done by ms dhoni to withdraw that appeal. letter of the law said bell should have walked but wasn't really keeping with the spirit of the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papa Lazaru 0 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) Top class from the indians changing the decision as whilst totally legal it would have been a sad way to get a wicket in the spirit of the game and a further show of class when Bell was finally out they were over shaking his hand. Would have been one hell of a fiery last session if the decision had stood, crowd angry, players all fired up and bad tempered, could have been good in a way! Â England looking every bit a team who could be world number 1 soon if they keep going like this, 11 players all of whom can contribute at any given time and the likes of Finn and Bresnan (when Tremlett is fit) can't even get into the team!

PaddockLad 16511 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Morgan out to the 2nd Indian delivery of a new ball......70 untroubled runs beforehand against part time spinners and other rubbish. then the first time the ball moved he's out. That lad isnt good enough at the top level. Â Jonathon Trott comes out...as mentioned above that is a bit of a surprise.....and very nearly gets caught lbw first ball.

CleeToonFan 1 Posted July 31, 2011 Share Posted July 31, 2011 Well done India, top class with the whole Bell situation, bless them getting booed before the fans realised they'd allowed him to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21288 Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 interesting to hear some of the commentary today. lots of ex pros seem to think bell made a school boy error and the decision should have stood. i agree to a point. but it would still be a pretty crap way to get someone out.

Guest alex Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Dravid was spot on talking about Bell. Basically said he wasn't attempting a run therefore it wouldn't have been in the spirit of the game to uphold the appeal, even if it was well within the rules. I was half disappointed when the Indians changed their mind though (even though I think it was the right thing to do) because I was looking forward to the ensuing needle it would have produced. Absolutely great test series so far btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21288 Posted August 1, 2011 Author Share Posted August 1, 2011 agree; great series. it will almost be a shame to see an england win as it will probably lose its spice after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alex Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 India were probably thankful for the Bell incident as it took away some of the focus on how abysmal they were yesterday. They more or less gave up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you know he insists on the rest of the commentary team referring to him as Sir? These are his mates ffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
