India to host England at Nagpur today 4th Test

re: India to host England at Nagpur today 4th Test

Umpire of the year 2012 :D
[TABLE="class: commsTable"]

Ashwin to Cook,OUT, makes him play this time, big appeal for caught behind and given out the finger goes up straight away but the immediate replay suggests Cook may be unlucky again. He was drawn forward just outside off stump, there was a little turn that look it away from Cook, there was a sound which drew the appeal, it was a straightforward take for Dhoni and the umpire nodded and raised his finger instantly. In fact the replay suggests that Cook missed it by a long distance, *another very poor decision from Dharmasena *

From Cricinfo:

Dhoni has had a stern word with the umpire, wholly inappropriate, Virat Kohli has waded in a well, very disrespectful...

This happened when an appeal for caught behind was turned down. Shows desperation in the Indian camp. lets see if the powers be take action against Dhoni and Kohli.

England 137/3

keep batting steadily England and bat India out of the match and series.

Mera England Mahan.

Khisyaani billi khumba nochay :D

re: India to host England at Nagpur today 4th Test

Well well. Mr. Tucker has been a star performer for them English throughout this series. His finger is constantly itching while India bats and is impressively caalm with angrez balleybaaj at the creaje.

Uncle I dont know which match are you watching so far umpires have favoured India......Cook given out wrongly in this test in both innings and Trott was given out wrongly too in the first test match when ball hit Gambhir helmet first and he claimed the catch

I was only referring to the honorable Tucker. I saw almost every ball when India hatted. Pujara not out caught off elbow! Prev test he gave anotmher batsmancaught off pad. Obese his ginger goes ho when India bats.

English have way of targetingnon western humps as incompetent.

Next ball Sharma followed through close to Trott, **who responded by blowing a little kiss(it rememring me Afridi kiss ko Kalis :)), **and tensions began to grow. At the end of the over there were heated exchanges with the umpires involving Dhoni and Virat Kohli - a likely future India captain, who did not carry himself very well. Meanwhile, a few minutes later, Snickometer (which would not be part of DRS were it in use) did not register any sound.

Nonone is a paragon of virtue in the field nowadays. Kohli is an intense cricketeer. Wish dhoni would back his players like he did now

re: India to host England at Nagpur today 4th Test

We accept your excuses for the series loss. all down to umpiring.

re: India to host England at Nagpur today 4th Test

more result of frustration and inept performance rather than backing unacceptable behaviour of players.

re: India to host England at Nagpur today 4th Test

Shoulders arms and lets delivery go safely into Kenyan wicket keepers gloves.

re: India to host England at Nagpur today 4th Test

Just relax. "We" made no such excuses. Pointing out an umpire's bias does not equate to that being the reason for the series loss, unless the " we" in question have comprehension issues.

re: India to host England at Nagpur today 4th Test

"We" think thou art too judgmental. ( you can have the last word on this exchange. Not gonna drag this).

re: India to host England at Nagpur today 4th Test

i can feel pain and agony of Inian cricket team and their fans. But having a bunch of nice batsman, losing in their home souil is some thing which can’t be excused.
Hats off for England and their spectators who travelled with them to encourge their team :k:

re: India to host England at Nagpur today 4th Test

Too many players who are not performing. Embarrassing to watch sachin. Running between wits atrocious.sehwag runout in last test inrexcusible.npujara runout ditto. 9 to 11 batting non existent. Outplsyed and outplanned in every Dept. New blood not being given a chance.

re: India to host England at Nagpur today 4th Test

Batting is fine, it is the bowling which is inept and cannot defend any total which the batsmen put up. What is required is some good bowlers. This is the first time in my 40 odd years of watching cricket that I see India without a potent spinner. Always had world class spinners, now the cupboard seems empty. Loads of mediocre spinners but no world class.

re: India to host England at Nagpur today 4th Test

I agree. Maybe too much focus on one day and 20 overs cricket. They don't flight the ball - afraid to get hit.

re: India to host England at Nagpur today 4th Test

Remind me again which side didn't want UDRS?

re: India to host England at Nagpur today 4th Test

Agree. But Sachin just playing for his records of 200 test i think. Only 7 to go and Moreover he is thinking to play next world cup which will also be a record. BUT many talented indian batsmen are waiting in line to take his place. but I'm sure with young players in ODI squad India will easily beat England.

re: India to host England at Nagpur today 4th Test

From Cricinfo:

No matter that this match ended in such downbeat fashion, this is a result fully worth the hype. **England have ended India's eight-year run without a series defeat at home and become the first touring side to come from behind and secure victory since they last did it in 84-85. Revenge is apparently a dish best served cold but it seems as if India accidently left it in the deep freeze, instead. **There will surely be recriminations and machinations for the India team but for England and Alastair Cook, in his first series as official captain, this is a moment to drink in. There's lots of hugging and fist-pumping on the team balcony, as well as handshakes for the opposition
