Re: India Tour of England 2011
Here were David Lloyd's logic for defending 3rd umo's decision re: Dravid:
1) Dravid's body language indicated he is out. (This is the same Lloyd who also felt Dravid's body language indicated he was out in the last test). 2) Fielder's body language indicates Dravid is out. These are the same fielders who appeal on everything - so this one does not pass the sniff test. 3) Back in our day - batsmen used to walk - this one makes me throw up. I followed that era. The English batsmen definitely did not walk until the ump gave them out. 4) The hot spot is not 100% - so because of that should we be relying on batsman and fielders body language (which of course is 100% reliable?) 5) Theh ball deviated - I looked at the replay - did not see deviation.
This was an open and shut case. There was actually no doubt Dravid was not out. This was not a bang bang call. 3rd ump had enough time to get ot correct. Unless he wanted to rely on body language....
uncle jee for god sake...the deflection was huge...ganguly declared dravid out because of deflection....

OK - chalo theekh hai. Kabool kiya!
Re: India Tour of England 2011
But Mishra was saving Sachine 
Re: India Tour of England 2011
I still cannot believe India have folded this meekly throughout! 
Gosh
But Dravid, you are a legend! :k:
Re: India Tour of England 2011
u Know the Sad part is/will be that If Sachin gets his 100th 100 here and possibly saves the test he’ll be celebrated like no other where as almost all will forget Dravid the batting carrier through-out this tour 
So for that part alone i hope Sachin has to wait til ODIs for 100th 100 
Re: India Tour of England 2011
from Cricinfo:
10.20am If you are an Indian passport holder, and are in England, go watch every match India play on this tour. Who knows they might need you to play? Two more down. Virender Sehwag and Ishant Sharma ruled out of the limited-overs leg. Two men's misery, though, is two others' opportunity. Ajinkya Rahane and Varun Aaron have been called up as replacements.
Re: India Tour of England 2011
seems like Tendulkar might get there today. He is playing very well and on 76 n o 
amit mishra hade made a half century so far and put raina to shame
Re: India Tour of England 2011
or what about ???? he gets his century but get out soon after it and India collapse ..... just imagine the headlines :D
Khair .... jokes aside both Batsmen are doing very well to fight it out and not giving up easily
Would be interessting to see how comms would rate the England seamers in this Innings as sofar they've failed to make inroads except for that Laxman Wicket
Signs of their quality when the wickets are flat ???!!!!
Re: India Tour of England 2011
from Cricinfo:
73.3
Swann to Tendulkar, no run, 86.4 kph, good grief! How is that not out! Tendulkar padded up outside off stump and the ball spun back sharply. Taufel has better eyes than I do, but replays confirm it clipping the top of off - would have stayed with the decision on DRS but Tendulkar is a lucky man! If he doesn't get his ton today, when will he!?
Re: India Tour of England 2011
Meanwhile Tendulkar in the 90s :D
Re: India Tour of England 2011
*76.1
Bresnan to Tendulkar, OUT, 129.1 kph
SR Tendulkar lbw b Bresnan 91 *
I think Tendulkar is very Unlucky to get out this way ..... Earlier he was Lucky when he padded up to Swann but now this and one can imagine the Headlines (Umpire deny Sachin 100th 100)
Re: India Tour of England 2011
Nice going so far
Re: India Tour of England 2011

Ur wish came true . ( me thinking the same ) but it seems india will loose so dravids great work will be invein sadddd

Well i was expecting to come it this way going by how he fared in the Series ..... It wasn't the tendulkar who was there and looked like never getting out ..... it looked more like he could get out to any bowler which is very unlike him
And before any one jump onto me .... no i'm no Tendulkar Hater ..... i just Love and Admire Dravid .... Being a Fan of Pakistan Team i wish we had someone of half of his ability, grit, dertermination and Temprament to stablise Pakistan Batting :(
Re: India Tour of England 2011
*269/8 India. *
Only thing of interest now is to see if India will lose this by an inning or they will make England bat again. India at the moment are 22 runs behind with 2 wickets in hand
Re: India Tour of England 2011
83.6
Broad to Sharma, no run, ooh, full away swinger zips past a dangling outside edge
Well well, it was a brave morning effort but it looks like the series will end with an embarrassment. Five wickets for seven runs now. Four slips, short leg, silly point in place.
83.5
Broad to Singh, OUT, 129.4 kph, Broad has another! India collapsing in a heap! Held outside off stump and RP prods flat-footed at it, could only manage to edge through to Prior
RP Singh c †Prior b Broad 0 (3b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
83.4
Broad to Singh, no run, 127.5 kph, bouncer gets stuck in the pitch and dribbles over RP to Prior
83.3
Broad to Singh, no run, 133.9 kph, Broad rushes in but lands it a touch too wide of off to interest RP
India have now lost four wickets for seven runs. Eeep. Here's RP Singh.
83.2
Broad to Dhoni, OUT, 131.6 kph, it's all unravelling in a rush! Dhoni gone now. Broad offers some width at a full, inviting length. Dhoni stretches to flash at it but could only outside edge to Swann at second who snaffled the sharp chance with ease
MS Dhoni c Swann b Broad 3 (19b 0x4 0x6) SR: 15.78
83.1
Broad to Dhoni, no run, 136.7 kph, strange defensive technique Dhoni has, just strolls into the shot
Re: India Tour of England 2011
It has been a procession since the fall of Mishra. How often do we see that in test cricket, a good partnership being followed by a flurry of wickets
Re: India Tour of England 2011
India has lost last 5 wickets for just 7 runs...
