This series is more like a war, look like there wont be any player fit by the end of this series.
 
So.

Can Prior-Bresnan-Broad-Swann to follow push the score up 120 or so runs to set 300 as the target?

It will depend on when they come out to bat. If these two can bat another 30+ overs it will give England a great chance of a hitting the bowlers around the park for a big lead. If they lose a wicket before the new ball India could come back into the match.
 
Not good sportsmanship by India.

This will not bode well for rest of the series now.
 
Very unsporting really if India don't call Bell back.
 
No sportsmanship questions for me. If you're stupid enough to loiter out of your crease before the umpire calls tea, you deserve to be run out like a tool.
 
Warne is talking about spirit of the game....

Warne... buddy, we are talking about INDIANs here!
 
We can just imagine the collective heart attacks across India if Sachin was out like this.

A run out is a run out....when a batsman is attempting a run and fails to make his ground. To run someone out when they and everyone else thought it was tea and they'd started walking off....that's not the spirit of fair competition to me. Very sad to see it happen and what goes round comes round....India will get their comeuppance.
 
Well, obviously since they can't get anyone out based on bowling performance alone, then what did we really expect? :))

I probably would have done the same though tbh. Cheap tactics indeed.
 
I wont be surprised if Javagal Srinath is the match refferee.

If you are not attempting a run at all you should not at all be given out run out. Very poor by Dhoni tbh, if you look at the replay even the players were beginning to walk off carrying the helmets.
 
This decision may cost England this match!
 
Can't blame Indian's...the batsmen were careless!

the way Bell got run out you have to ignore the technicalities of cricket to question the sportmanship and spirit of the game.
 
How the hell is that cheating...batsmen duty to be in the crease until umpire has called over or tea. The ball was not dead. Good presence of mind.

What are these :))) :))) ?

I can't just walk out of my crease and assume it is time whenever I want. If the umpires didn't call tea, the batsmen should take the blame. If I'm England, do I really expect the Indian team to not take every advantage they can? For all the moaning of 2008 Sydney, this team plays to win just as much as any other throughout history.

Does anyone really think Warne wouldn't have done the same, for all his preaching? Or that Steve Waugh and Ponting would have called the batsman back? Gilchrist wouldn't have done it, maybe.

By the way, Indian fans may realize now why their team isn't really all that well liked :P.
 
According to Bumble, Dhoni can call the batsman before the next delivery is bowled.
 
Seriously guys can you for once put those anti-indian glasses off?
