Cricket:India's tour of England 2011

It would've been out if he'd claimed it. Good session for us apart from Harbhajan's bowling. Match will be a draw as England are scoring pretty slow, IMO.

By good session, I mean that England didn't totally take it away from us.
 
This would've been a very good session if Harbhajan had bowled well. 46 runs in the first 18 overs and 44 from the next 10.

His control for a guy who has been playing cricket for so long is terrible. How many free runs did he give down the leg side?

He's very overrated. Doesn't actually threaten batsman consistently like the very best do. Seems to focus mainly on containment and the pitch giving him lots of assistence. He's got heart though, ill give him that.
 
It's about the only thing he's got these days. Never seen anyone live off past glories like this guy does.

Lord's is his kind of wicket. He'll get a 50 and dine out on that for another 18 months. We have so much depth in spinners but it's still a given that Harbhajan will start every match regardless of how shit he bowls.
 
Ball wasn't in his hand, it was on the ground with his hand partially touching it. Not out.

Our secret weapon today. Not so much slow from Praveen Kumar either!

Great delivery. Top celebration.

He'll bowl, I think. Vaughan tweeted saying Dravid was wearing the gloves earlier today.

I think it's out if the fingers are underneath it even if there's a bit being grassed between the fingers.

Apparently Michael Atherton on the Sky team said it's out as well?

Fingers weren't underneath it though, the camera clearly shows the ball on the ground, with the fingers around the side of it, within the second or so he'd picked the ball off the ground.
 
Be a bit disappointed if England don't win this series. India's bowling attack is poor.
 
This should be fun. Although I suspect he won't bowl too much.
 
That should've been out actually. Hussain has got it spot on.

Why should it, he didn't hit it!

The hotspot wasn't conclusive enough. There wasn't any spot when the bat hit the pads. There wasn't any conclusive evidence to over-rule it.
 
No conclusive evidence of a nick either.. "should stay with on field call" seems a very arbitrary rule.
 
Actually having seen the replay again. I raise my hands up and say I was wrong. Got a little carried away at that moment, I guess.
 
We are getting caned right now. Anyways well done to KP. Good innings.
 
I watched for so long, switched off and next ball Bell's gone..
 
Erm, did the hotspot replay of Morgan's wicket just now not show an edge?
 
David Lloyd saying Morgan might've thought he was out LBW :lol:
 
Yea, I'll get to it. Just switched on and it's Ishant bowling like shit.
