It has to be admitted, Kumar's bowling jaffas, swinging it like waqar younis with the pace of danish kaneria!
 
England shouldn't panic here. They have still 5 wickets in hand!
 
IJL Trott in the middle just extinguished those chances of England bowling tonight ;-)

Almost perfect jinx there, Whippy. Erasmus bailed you out, and India's own refusal to use DRS. For mine, I think Hawkeye is actually more reliable than Hotspot - neither is perfect.
 
BBC weather.

Monday -> White cloud :)
Tuesday -> Light rain :(

More than enough time for a result. Trott is injured and Prior/the tail are there for a laugh. England will be bowling most of tomorrow.

Yaar with that pace the new ball will swing. I am sure if Umar Amin or Younis Khan take the new ball they will also swing it big.
 
That's what you get for refusing to have reviews of LBWs. Not every umpire can have an exceptional series like Rauf is having.

So people did not blame umpires for wrong decisions before DRS!! its 3rd wrong decision by erasmus ..pathetic stuff!!!

With or with out DRS umpires should give correct decisions..just because somebody did not take DRS..umpires cannot get away with wrong decisions.
 
Pitch playing some tricks here with the new ball, brute to get rid of Trott.
 
No loss there, counted him out from the start, he ate up two overs, worth it.
 
This Praveen Kumar bloke is a monster with the new ball. Absolute tank. I know Morgan is strictly a middle-order LOI player and Trott is injured but they were two pretty much unplayable deliveries. The Pakistani-style swinger was unplayable too, and deserved a wicket

To chase anything above 250 on this pitch is next to impossible. If Kumar's spin bowling can cause such damage then imagine what will English bowlers do?

He scored two in a partnership of a few which is better than zero, worth it every time.
 
82.6


Kumar to Bresnan, no run, 129.5 kph, another lbw appeal, another refusal from umpire Erasmus.


Thats a bit extra by cricinfo, no?

If your board sabotages technology to make umpires lives harder, don't expect any sympathy. No-one's denying it was plumb, but why should we castigate the umpires overly much when they've been denied tools?

That said, Asad Rauf leading the way. Never knew he was this good before this series.
 
Underrated a lot. Got a better test match batting average than Strauss, Collingwood and Morgan.
 
Lol at Gavaskar: "that is out, that should be out"! Umpire unmoved.

What is wrong with this guy?

Come on mate...1 decision...yes!! But 4 wrong decisions already..and its been 3 days only and criticism towards the umpire???? I remember billy gave one decision in our favor in the first test..and everybody was criticising him..the BCCI..including commies in sky... I totally agree that we are wrong in not taking DRS..but its no excuse for so many wrong decisions!!I am not complaining..coz I have no right to because we did not take DRS..but I am just saying Erasmus has been pathetic and should be right fully criticized..
