We weren't going to win but that was a load of bollocks from the umpires.

Don't usually have much sympathy for England but that was a shocking decision. Really feel for Taylor.Isn't the ball dead when Taylor was originally given out. How can you be run out on a dead ball?
That was a strange ending!
I thought so too. Poor decision that probably robbed Taylor of a well-deserved 100.
According to CricInfo, since becoming ODI captain, Morgan's scores are 121-DNB-0-2-0-0. That doesn't include the duck he had against Pakistan in the warm-up game
You gotta feel for Taylor.

That’s terrible, he can’t handle the pressure of captaincy it seems.
You can be run out on a no ball. I wonder if similar laws apply...
Dead ball is different from no ball in that you can still score runs on a no ball but no runs are given on a dead ball.

Once again we succeeded in snatching total annihilation from the jaws of defeat.
Here's Graeme Swan's take...
The letter of the law, as I understand it, is that the ball is only dead after he has reviewed it so, James Anderson was right to be run out.
Basically the correct decision was made.

Then again he's probably talking bollocks.
So, it may or may not have been the correct decision.

ICC accepts it was a wrong decision.

Oh well. Tough luck Taylor.
I see Google are getting in on the act too.
What act?
I think it was wrong. Even the Aussie commentators, who tend to be a tad biased, though it was a dead ball after the LBW. Not that the result would have changed.
It would have given Taylor hundred and some additional runs for England to better their NRR eventually. If final positions come down to NRR and the difference is small, England might feel aggrieved.
England are simply light years behind in the short forms of the game.
Got old.

Brilliant article tearing into current group of channel nine commentators.
Nice article.
Clarke was a good addition to the commentary and, as the article states, he actually talked about cricket. Mark Nicholas is decent, but the others are just clowns. Although Strauss tries his best to bore me to death, I think Sky has a nice balance of some bias, actual analysis & a bit of comedy (basically Bumble doing something silly).
Ya bumble is awesome.
Here in India on Star we have got cartoons like Manjrekar shitting every time they get mic in their hand, but most of the other cartoons have been pushed into hindi commentary group. In English we have Harsha Bhogle, Akram, Dravid and Ganguly among good ones. It is a treat to hear from Dravid and Ganguly.
Tony Greig died couple of years ago and Lawry and Benaud are too old.
Christ, I said the likes of... meaning commentors of the same ilk. Sadly they've got clowns like Warne, Slater et al.
I'm just glad I don't have to listen to Ravi Shashtri.
I'm glad star got in Mark Nicholas.
A Cricket World Cup themed home page yesterday.
I was not sure at first what he meant. I thought he was referring to Anderson run out which was being discussed. The above logo might be for .co.in specifically I guess though. UK might be having different.
Yup you're right, they must have had a different one
ICC have apologised for the decision.
Just seen the Steve a Smith catch. Wow!! 
Dead, old/half retired and sick - in that order (as you probably know) and they have taken the obvious route of replacing them on the basis of who is good a matey cricket banter down the pub. They are probably fine for 20/20 or as a pre/post game act for other forms of the game but rubbish for real commentary.
