India in England/Ireland/Scotland

[legspinner@fred]

Deservedly as well.
Two legends playing for the last time in England and at the home of Cricket in Lords.
Just because of horrid umpiring they've cut short the chances of these two to put up a show are ruined.

Booing of anyone, in any sport, any where, whatever mistake they've made, against anyone, is not deserved.

It was a disgraceful reaction, I understand that they aren't happy but it's uncalled for.

 

[Adarsh]

I reckon these two and Dhoni will get India out of trouble now.

Great hit for Yuvi. Give that out too Aleem? Because a person in the crow'd might have caught it.
And Sachin has missed that by a mile.

Lolz, Dravid was out, he got an edge, the commentators were just discussing it and they think Dravid got an edge. It wasnt horrible umpiring, if you were there, umpiring you would probably have given it out, it looked and sounded out. The noise was perfect, the appeal loud and it was fantastic bowling. I can see why the umpire gave it out. Stop moaning about the umpiring decisons, mistakes happen, it was hardly the most shocking piece of umpiring anyway. It was 1 incorrect decision, and one that wasnt an obvious mistake aswell. If he had given sachin out LBW off Panesar from over the wicket, pitching outside leg and going over the top, then have a go, but it wasnt, it looked very very close in full speed.

interesting fact i just heard..

if no one makes a century in this match for india..only Kumble will have made a 100 on the whole tour including 3 tests and 7 ODI..

would have gotten long long odds on that...

Yep, by looking at the India squad for the matches against England you would have been foolish to bet against more than one century.

On the other hand, England have made 6 centuries from 5 different batsmen over the same period:

1. Kevin Pietersen (1st Test and 3rd Test)
2. Michael Vaughan (2nd Test)
3. Alastair Cook (1st ODI)
4. Ian Bell (1st ODI)
5. Owais Shah (6th ODI)

Tendulkars was obvious.
and read this about the booing thing:

I think they're also just letting off steam for the abysmal Umpiring through this whole series. Its been horrible.
Tendulkar has got flack 3 times just in the ODI's. We're sick of it.

If people can't handle a bit of booing from the crowd they should just go home and cry to there mom's.
If people go to Australia and the spectators there can talk whatever trash they want without so much speculation here, then why can't simply 'boo' without it becoming a big controversy.
Just get over it.

These two are doing well now. Cmon India.

 

[legspinner@fred]

It's not a controversy, it's just not needed for me.

 

[Eddie]

indians have lost their composure a bit here..

they are just throwing the bat at everything..

it might work..but 9/10 it doesn't

 

[King Pietersen]

An edge there, Uthappa looked behind straight away, i thought that was out tbh. Seemed to be a noise, just as it went over the bat. Not much of an appeal though.

Who was moaning about the booing Cricketman ? :?

 

[jkartik]

hats off to the umpiring in this series !! absolutely world class !! :

sachin's was clearly not out ! EVEN AT FULL SPEED !! i'd give
dravid's though...looked out to me...

i havent lost hope yet....still have faith in the team to put up a good show.

 

[Eddie]

umpires probly can't hear the edges now cos of all the boo-ing

dimi to yuvraj..i wonder if he's out for revenge..:P

 

[zub2005]

india struggle in big games they say well tendulkar does, well this time he was playing very well untill i think he got the bad decision. it happens but its just not right and if the umpire went on noises then it was wrong for both decisions thats what holding said something like that. india need theese two to stay in for a long time and then dhoni needs to perform. min they need is 250. but poor tendulkar once again and this time england might win cause of that

couldnt agree more, some brilliant desicions on this whole tour, especially to sachin tendulkar!

[Cricketman]

100 comes up. not bad.

 

[Leggie]

100 comes up. not bad.

but still even when india are 200-4 (if they get that far) england will still be on top due to the slow run rate...

 

[King Pietersen]

Umm, seems the umpiring decisions are 1:1 now. Uthappa should have been given. If he makes 100 it will be more costly than the Sachin wicket. England should win from here though, just need to break this partnership.

edit: Lolz, its not gonna be too costly after all
