Southie, take it easy with the excuses. Umpiring decisions will always go one way or another. That’s part of the game. The what iffs are a waste of time.

Suggesting that certain umpires might be intentionally giving bad decisions to India because the BCCI is not pro DRS, is absolutely wrong. As long as I am on umpires, it must be said that Asad Rauf is now the best umpire in the world IMO.

Fact is that England has played much better than India in THIS series and deserve to have the chance to become #1 in tests if this form continues from both sides for the remainder of the series.

Regarding some folks jumping up and down with joy dissing India every chance they get.. Enjoy yourselves.. these moments don’t come very often these days

I think its a close contest between Aleem Dar and Asad Rauf but Asad Rauf is on his way to win Umpire of the year award :k:

btw, easy sharabi bhayee. I wanted to watch a close series and your team didnt provide that

isn’t that part of the game (some would even say the best part)- the post match analysis of what ifs. Dont take that from me!!

Suggesting that certain umpires might be intentionally giving bad decisions to India because the BCCI is not pro DRS, is absolutely wrong.

It is not wrong if they actually do it. One can only go by instincts. At least Harper was bordering on ridiculous, IMO

Also see my post 231. I have acknoledged the obvious - that England is the better team by far.

Finally, when all other arguments fail, I will channel Amitabh from Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham - “Kah diya na, bas, kah diya”.

Anyway, I am pumped up about the next test. Your Virat Kohli is in - hope he is in the 11.

If I may use your phrase - jiskee lathee uski bhais.

Last 2 tests, the lathee will be India’s.

Please drink lots of fluids this weekend - England will be on the field for a looooong time. Cheers

hahah yes Virat is one of those well rounded young batsmen that I hope make it big on the international stage. He is more technically sound than Raina. But he had a horirble WI tour which is why he wasnt picked earlier.

Re: India Tour of England 2011

there goes India’s chance of coming back in the series.. provided there was one.

Re: India Tour of England 2011

This is a relief - better than bowling 2-3 overs and then finding out muscle pull has not gone away. Better to have 4 fit bowlers.

His record - batting ave 39.43, SR 71.17, not bad for someone who is mainly there to steady the ship - speaks for itself. The 50-over game is not all about hitting boundaries. You do need consolidators like Dravid in the middle overs

Im not saying this that he is bad he was never bad at ODI’s But i think India should give youngsters are chance instead of bringing Dravid back
