Wow Gower and Botham have been debating for almost the last 15 minutes as to why Morgan walked off.
Cricket:India's tour of England 2011
- Thread starter The Taurean
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss Amad saving our blushes in a win against Southampton as well as our now annual loss at home to Brighton. They discuss Amorim's post-match comments, revisit how mid-table we may or may not be, and discuss some transfer news.
Botham? That's Harsha Bhogle..
I am watching Sky Sports. Sorry that is David Gower and Ian Botham. My bad!
Poor from England. We pretty much have only 1 bowler. Should've scored much faster.
This is the first time I have ever seen Dhoni bowl. It is pretty funny.
Praveen has bowled some very good deliveries at times but he seems to be jogging up to bowl everytime, wonder if he could give an extra 10% and put in more effort?
If only we had Zaheer fit now. *Sigh*
I stopped watching. Wicket imminent.
It'll be amusing if Morgan comes out and says he nicked it.
Right on cue, from cricinfo.
It now emerges that Morgan revealed that he thought he had edged it. So there you go, technology could not spot it.
How ridiculous is that?

I thought this Indian side was supposed to be good 
Heads dropping out there.

Getting caned again.
500 ish from us, and with alot of overs to be made up on the sunny days to come the Indians need 350+ or they are in trouble .
.Nice to see KP building an innings and a big hundred without trying to be a hero and getting out, haven't been able to watch, but has it been a great innings?
Started slowly, gone aggressive since lunch (as has the rest of the side tbh), they realise they were going too slowly to have a strong lead with enough time to worry India.
We're in a very good position ATM.

Battering them. Pleasing.
Has anyone noticed the Indians go quiet in this thread?
Pleasing.
Pleasing.
Spanked. Bhajji's figures indicate he's been really poor. Not watching the game myself so not sure exactly how bad he's been. If India lose this one I wouldnt mind seeing him being replaced for the next one.
Strauss starting to contemplate declaring, he should wait for KP to get dismissed IMO.
That said at this point he might as well stick with it and get them to spank it whenever possible.

474-8D, 202 NO for KP.
Made sense to declare then, gives us some overs tonight.

I am overly worried. We always start poorly in away series. But now it is upto our batting to play our something like 1.5 days and then we can draw this test.
If it stays sunny tomorrow then no excuse if india dont get close to the target but its all about the overhead conditions
This drs ruling is pretty confusing, when dhoni got kp, i am pretty sure there has to be proof to overturn the decision and i dont think there was so how could it be overturned. Correct me if am wrong.
Then hotspot picked up nothing for morgan wicket, but he was pretty sure he hit it, is hotspot 100% right. BTW botham has pissed me off with his commentating today.

You just have to wait till we start batting. We are all waiting for the great one to step out onto the field. Once he starts going, we will all be in song.
Not been on today. LOL, but i can understand why we would be quiet lol
Hardly. We've been getting battered all day and generally all of them has been posting in this thread. Amusing to see the English getting cocky after the second day though.
The banter here i would love if it was on the field.
End of an excellent day for England, very good innings from KP & Prior played well. England will have to bowl well to get India out, think this might end in a draw unless there is a SL type collapse.
England are the best team in the world, not bad for a nation that's interested in other sports such as football and darts.
Kabaddi>Darts
Darts requires greater sporting prowess.
It is pretty bad for a nation that started the sport in the first place.
Regarding the first incident, KP appealed the decision because he believed he hadn't touched the ball. This was borne out by the absence of a "hotspot" on the replay.
On the Morgan one, I suspect he claims he thought he'd hit the ball out of sheer embarrassment because he realises he should have appealed!
Seriously. We're all right here.
We'll draw this. I don't think they'll bowl us out twice in 2 days.
Kabbadi needs more stamina and strength.
You've clearly not seen Phil 'The Power' Taylor.
We should draw. Tremlett looked more threatening than Anderson so far.
England are not number one in the test rankings. Hence clearly not the best.
England are not the world champions in one day cricket. Hence clearly not the best.
I wonder which team is both of those things.
If you want to go down that route then we started the majority of sports going, so it's not really a fair claim, if we spent all our time getting to the top of our invented sports then we would have no time to do anything else.
In other news I had a drink with James Wade last week, true story.

But..but they won the T20 World Cup
