England V India

[Gandalf]

That was really fucking stupid

Very. I'm kind of anxious now. We have a decent lead and 6 wickets, but it's all too easy to lose them. I'm just hoping for a score of 400 now.

Have India allowed Bell to come back out? It was a confusing incident but Bell WAS out, very gracious of them I think.

It's very weird, I was sure we were four down and then we've come out only 3 down. I've been listening with sound off because my stream isn't great and I'm listening to music, so not sure what the deal is really.

Im watching on crictime and the commentary team are all Indians so its a bit dour to say the least.

Had a look on bbc and it appears Strauss went to India at tea and asked them to rethink their appeal. They did and Bell bats on.

Apparently the bodylanguage of the fielder on the boundary indicated to Bell and Morgan that it was a four.

So, I'm up to 500 all out again. Morgan is hitting like a madman!

This is set up perfectly for Morgan (who already is) Broad, Prior, Swan and Bresnan to have a picnic. They'll be clumping India all over the shop. Going to get ugly for India if they dont take quick wickets.

Totally, there is no reason not to have a swing whilst everything is holding up like this. Just do what we didn't do in the first innings. Then as they have a mountain to chase, the pitch will be dying.

Just read that Vaughn has been accusing Laxxman of putting Vasaline on the edge of his bat to dupe hotspot

Its all getting a bit fiesty.

He now says it was a joke, I have no idea.

All I realyl know is that we are two wickets down, still saw a boundary being hit there, maybe the positive attitude remains.

Any sport where 2 of the biggest factors in determining the winning team can be a.) the toss of a coin at the start of the game, and b.) the weather - just aint a sport in my book.

The number of times I've listened to Jack Bannister on Talk Sport, when asked who will win a match, say "It depends on the toss at the start, whomever gets to bat first should win."

What a load of bollox!
