Losing 1-0/ 2-0 in a 3 test series can't be compared with losing 1-0/4-0 in a football match, IMO.
Having said that, we can win this now.
5 wickets left. Another 1.5 hrs of play to go.
Third Test. England Vs India

He's still a Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime.
Yes it can.
In this case, losing 1-0 is virtually a drawn series. The first test match was England's.
So, if you don't win 2-0, the result will always be tainted. And remember, it's against a reserve England side.
Prior not out for a duck. Miracles do happen.
Hmm, Footy league review has come on, and the cricket doesn't appear to have switched channels. Have Sky just given up on the game?!
EDIT they have switched channels, just carried on saying it was Triathlon when it wasn't. Wicket falls as I switch, should be safe now though

We need 4 wickets from 28 balls
Too late.
1-0
We win the series.
Too bad we didn't go for the 2-0, though. Leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

Is the match a draw?
Yes Amit. It was a draw.
Well it should have been 1-1 but thats how it goes bring on the ODI.
I was at the Cricket today. Really suprised by the enjoyable atmosphere. Great innings by K.P.
1-1.
Great draw.
Great draw.
Spoony in denial.
I'm just honest.
DENIAL
Denial brings much confusion to the abused woman, an enervation of mind greater than any fatigue. It is an extremely misunderstood time and is the most criticized phase of her abuse. Denial is an act of self-betrayal. Denial lulls it's victim into a false security while the hard truth is like a slap in the face. Denial ensures her day to day survival.
Her dilemma is common. If she is honest with herself, she will recognize that she already knows the truth about her situation. Soon, she will come to realize and acknowledge that deep down, she knows what is best for her and her children. But instead of facing reality, she chooses to hide the truth from herself and others. The very truth that would set her free. It is safer that way. Or, at least, that is exactly what she has come to believe. An abused woman becomes very good at fooling herself. She minimizes the abuse and makes excuses for her abuser's behavior. It is best described as survival. As victims, we believe that bringing attention to this dysfunction, would only bring about more abuse. This fear engulfs us. It becomes the major player in this game of power and control. It is this fear, which causes us to stay. Denial feeds on this! If a victim of domestic violence can bring herself to finally face, recognize and admit the truth, she would give herself the gift of courage which will in turn enable change.
An Englishman claiming some sort of hollow victory....draw actually, from a loss. Who would have thought eh..?
The British weather has done us again though, Spoony is right. Both teams have had some rancid umpire decisions, however only Monty's against Santh for the 10th wicket at Lords changed the course of a game; he was plum out, any regional umpire would have given it. England were the best team and deserved to win the first test, India were the best team and deserved to win the second test (though the toss was much more important), India were the best team for most of the second test (when the toss was absolutely crucial), yet the decision from Dravid to not follow on was so idiotic, they deserved not to win it. So Spoony is in fact correct, a draw was the genuine result. A combination of luck and favour means the result stands otherwise. Much like my Fiorentina season on Pro Evo, I've scored more than anybody else, conceeded less than anyone else, yet somehow I'm 4th in the table

UNWORTHY
He beats her down, in more ways than one. His words, his tone of voice, his demeanor. Manipulation. Control. Mind games. These all play a part in devaluing her self worth. His looks, actions and gestures. He makes her feel bad about herself. He calls her names and thrives on making her believe she’s unworthy. He tells her that it is her fault that he loses his temper. He humiliates her, and attempts to make her feel guilty for not being what he wants her to be. He controls what she does, who she sees, all avenues of communicating, what she reads and where she goes. He may use jealousy to justify his actions. He may even express remorse and sorrow for his actions after, only to repeat his abusive behavior all too soon. The cycle continues.
thought india were shameful and should be embarrassed. how they didnt go for a win earlier is a joke. i am in agreement with spoony on this.
one thing i will say is what is michael vaughan doing anymore?
