Tuffers making the point that he'd already tapped in and was just walking up the pitch.
He's not out, basically.

Cricket:India's tour of England 2011
- Thread starter The Taurean
- Start date
Hussain just said that England would've done the same.
If India want to play that kind of game then fair enough. It's what I expect from them.
Did you see Morgan puts his bat down in his crease right at the end of that last clip?
I'm in!
I'm in!
Don't be a twat.
Plain and simple
Poor form from India
Poor form from India
This will add some spice to the series.
Actually Bell ran with his head down. I can't understand him now saying umpire called "over".
WTF there's no whistle in cricket, if you hadn't noticed. Don't know why you're comparing cricket with football. No one goes around saying, 'That's not football'
This is embarassing. Imagine if someone did this to India or even worse Tendulkar, there'd be riots
Hugely against the spirit of the game, now we will have the bit between our teeth though.
You should be saying that to Dhoni.
...
TBF the Indian team and management have shown themselves to be "twats" as you put it on a number of occasions.
Umm what's happening guys?
The point is umpire didn't signal for a four. Bell acted stupidly but I can see why England are peeved.
If the Umpire called for an over, then it's not out.
That's not cricket, I wouldn't have maintained that appeal. There was never a wicket to be had there for India.
See the above youtube video with New Zealand runout. Was that fair play cricket?
Should I say that from now on I should expect cheating from the English team.
You keep repeating that
Noone disagrees with that
I can't believe you refuse to accept that it was incredibly poor form from India. Let's just give them the Spirit of Cricket award now shall we??
Again there's always a huge discussion between "rules" and "spirit" of the game.
Its so arbitrary. I must say the runout "feels" wrong, but how can you quantify this.

It's poor Spirit of Cricket, it's not right. However it's not fair to call them cheaters on the basis of this.
I'd rather Dhoni withdraw the appeal.
Me too.
Of course, because you value fair play and integrity.
Here's Bell!?!?
Bell is back!! Well done India. Fair play!! I take it all back.
Schoolboy error, however it was against the spirit of the game. Bell's fault but....
Obviously it's out, no one's disputing that. What's up for debate is the twattish behaviour of the Indians and specifically Dhoni.
Retarded from Bell, but not in the spirit of the game that.
Let's keep our heads and get this fecking number 1 spot now.

Bell is back, hmm..
Lets carry on then, fair play and what not

They have withdrawn the appeal. So you can all feck off.
Fair play to Dhoni, eventually made the correct decision.
A change of opinion in order from a lot here. I guess an apology is due in spirit of the Caf rules.
MS Dhoni - what a legend. Deserves the spirit of cricket award.
Hopefully Bell learns from this as his own carelessness was at fault really.

Well done Dhoni. Bell will probably get out for obstructing the field now.
They did the right thing.
Fair play to them, took them quite a while though, 20 minutes in fact
Good decision, fair play to Dhoni and India
Probably get Bell this over or something now
I think India have shown alot of class in the decision to remove the appeal and it upholds the sportsmanship of Cricket.
Everyone thought it was over.
Everyone thought it was over.
Well done Dhoni.
Just seen Bell. Fair play, good ol' spirit of the game hey!
Still want that number 1 spot though
