PS2 The law decsion against Ishant Sharma zinnias premiere number 9 batsman was the turning point.
Thank you. We appreciate it.

Anytime bhoomipataka sahib. Salam alaaikum
lol. you are blaming on umpire? That too against ishant sharma?
blame Kohli for asking for a ridiculous review, that was a total waste
“India’s premiere number nine batsman Ishant Sharma.” That was supposed to be sarcasm.
Having said that, Bruce Oxenford was in a hurry to get the game over. Both decisions against Sharma and Ashwin showed ball to miss the stumps! In Sharma’s case, it was so obvious. He was on his back foot. Ball rising. Hits top of his thigh. And he is a tall person. Ball went sailing comfortably over. And also missed leg stump.
Indidnt watch the replay of Ashwin dismissal. It looked to miss leg stump comfortably. Confirmed by write up by Andrew Miller
I agree. But I don’t understand why that excuses a blatantly poor decision by an umpire. Followed by another blatantly poor decision against Ashwin. When the umpire knows there are no reviews left, it is as if he is using that as an excuse to give the decision he wants to give. Maybe because the umpires record is judged onky by number of successful reviews on decisions he has given. So if no review left, his decisions do not get judged on their merit.
I’ve never understood the selection of Ishant Sharma. He is no more than what we call ’ 2 paisay ka bowler’. Overall the better team won.
Mera England mahan. Looking forward to 4-1 next week.

Yes, England deserved to win the series.
I think Ishant Sharma did his job. The openers were missing in action. And the bottom order waved the white handkerchief far too soon.
Moeen Ali got the ball to turn while Ashwin could not get any purchase. That was the difference at the end.
Allah is great.
Well if he got 2 wickets, probably that could have sufficed the expectations. Usually he is below par.
Same goes for your current expert commentator Ajit Agarkar. Never saw him yielding any concrete results. Very ordinary bowling.
But I guess thats what happens after seeing Pakistani pacers achieving above-average speed and swing. 
The current crop of bowlers are not the past. It was not the Indian pacers that were responsible for the loss. They more than held their own.
Inbekieve India would crush Pakistan head to head now. I truly believe that.
Even in this series, two matches were close that India lost. Yes, the better team won. But the GAO is not that much.
correct. The rsult lines doesnt make justie with the fight shwon by indian team. But the same goes for PK team of the past. Many times they were very close for win in Aus or England but than they lost.
At the moment I beleive only Kohli is the difference else both teams are very much same…
