Kinda like us giving up our 2 goal leads at the beginning of the season, no?

Flat deck...poor bowling attack. Simples really.
Brilliantly done by Strauss...
I can't imagine the reaction of Indian Crowd, there will be loads of effigies burned.
Especially if Bell is still there at the end.
More on the line of stoning to death...
The spinners have bowled some rubbish.
Yeah...well, it's not like it's only a game.
I fecking love Straussy.
His batting has gotten better since he's taken charge unlike a lot of players who've become captain.
England will still probably lose though

Or Strauss, remember that catch early on in the innings?
I didn't see the incident... what happened? And batsmen should get the benefit, it's always been the case.
Zaheer looks out of shape.
The whole issue of doubt is taken out with UDRS.
LBW rule state you're out if it's going to hit stumps *
*Unless it pitches outside leg.
Ball his Bell's pad, BB gave not out, India referred an it showed it was hitting middle stump half way up, however the ball hit Bells pad more than 2.5 metres from the wicket, making the refferal entirely pointless.
Nasser says it was poor judgement giving Bell not out...
Wasn't it India who asked for the >2.5m rule? It's no different to the hitting in line rule. Sure it was hitting the stumps, but if he's got far enough forward or far enough outside, it's not out.
What was that noise then?
No such rule exists in cricket Mike...
Cheers.
It's in the referral regulations being used for the World Cup.
Why? Common sense dictates that it's hitting the stumps. The idea is to eliminate uncertainity in hawkeye because in bouncier pitches it might go over the stumps. This is a sub-continental pitch with a slow bowler bowling.
Ridiculos decision.
And we're bowling some right fecking shit.
Twice Strauss has nicked and they haven't appealed. Is the noise so loud? Loud and clearo n TV.
Fair enough if it's the rules.
Why do the commentators/we don't not know these regulations?
Sure? If it is...then the umpires were well within their rights, otherwise a huge mistake on their part.
a massive six!
Who needs Sachin when you have Straussy?
They do. They keep saying 'the umpires have been told to not change their decision if it's over 2.5m... but I still think it should have been out.'
Why do you think they even have the >2.5m graphic on the TV?
We can hear the mic on the stumps, they can't.
I think Nasser made the point of although it is the regulations that one was as plum as you get, and even with deviation it was still likely to hit the wickets.

It's not what I'm hearing.
Anyway let's enjoy the match. This could be a record in the making.
Big old 6 from Bell! Nice way to get your 50.
Beautiful shot for Bells 50.
Cheers.
They got rid of the best part of this Australia advert, that random guy in the background who just says,
"That's not a bear."
"That's not a bear."
Woke up and saw India had scored 338, thought England would lose by 70-80 runs. Watched from start of England innings - they've done brilliantly.
Huge slices of luck for Strauss (twice) & Bell, but you need to cash in when you get the breaks and they have done.

Thanks for the info...
Rules rule!
Rules rule!
Now we will have a generation think that a koala is a bear, rather than knowing it's a marsupial!
I'm sure a kid in that advert says 'pedophile'.
Been watching footie on the other channel, so just tuned into this. What a supremely shit bowling performance this must have been from the Indians.
Strauss has batted marvelously but yes our bowling has been dreadful.
