England In India - October 2011/12

[ZoraxDoom]

Standing ovation from the crowd too. Good stuff.

And to extend the generosity, Raina to start after Tea. Lol.

 

[SaiSrini]

No need to do that, but I guess the team wanted to act in gentlemanly fashion. Anyways good that they have pressed down the controversy.

 

[MasterBlaster76]

Yep.

It's the equivalent of the ball not being thrown back to the opposition, after they put it out for an injury on the opposition team - which then leads to a goal being scored.

 

[Gurjot95]

Now fearsome tweak off everyone, India are not cheaters unlike some. Had it be any other team, they wouldn't have withdrawn it.

 

[WubbaLubbaDubDub]

Now some respect? Or still Indians will be called Cheaters? Did you all do the same thing when Aussies did 2 years back?

 

[lewissaffin]

Bell will be out soon

Arrogance of certain Indian fans shines through as moral high-horses are saddled and ridden.

 

[MasterBlaster76]

I want to know what the law says if the Umpire has called over - can anyone clarify?

'Bell was of course trying to run the 4th.' Shastri, you can get out of there. Take Harsha with you too please.

 

[blazerix]

India are finished....

 

[Themer]

Lets see if english fan can take the abuse back or not

Kudos to them. India have gone up alot. I mean alot in my estimations.

 

[darthlewis1]

Lol at the stupid English fans ... India bullying umpires to withdraw the appeal

What and Indian fans would accept a decision like that in a civilised manner? They would be doing more than booing.

 

[SaiSrini]

Would Dhoni have done it if England had a lead of around 300? That was clearly Bell's mistake. I am not going to go here praising Dhoni for his sportsman conduct. That was a big wicket that we needed.

Thanks for calling Indian fans stupid. Blaming/booing Indian fans for a mistake that England did. WOW! Indian fans called fickle minded, but the crowd at Trent Bridge changed from boos to applause within 5 seconds. And we are fickle minded fans right? Excellent, my foot!

Ha ha!

If that was running, then a snail's going to win the 100m at the 2012 Olympics.

That's the truth.

Dhoni deserves alot of praise, especially as it was a big wicket.

Also, I called it.

Time for Bell to return the favor. A sportsman like runout would be awesome
