England vs India | 2nd Test | Trent Bridge | Day 3 | 31/07/11

[ShaunMarshRules]

By the way, I love Athers for saying Bell should be out. The Sky commentary team is so exceptional, and so much better than Star.

I think Athers and Nasser might have surprised a lot of people by being supportive of India if they'd stuck with teh decision.

 

[SAF]

EXACTLY!

Why people are saying that he "chickened" out is beyond me!

Maybe because of the bashing he would go on to receive had he not called him back??..

I wasn't watching, but didnt he say no to the umpire before tea?

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

Lead by 243

 

[Ruri]

Bell needs to nick one and then walk without being given here.

 

[Blitz]

What a shot that was.

 

[James]

That was a mental shot!

England probably going to win now. Could bat for another 50 overs if they want!

 

[USIND]

Now,its payback time,Bell should show sportsmanship & throw away his wicket

 

[Fawad2010]

The Question is that How long does ENG need to get IND out?

 

[Blitz]

England would probably need another 100 runs. 300 can be fluked if one guy gets stuck in(Dravid).

350 should be certain.


..and what a shot that was!

It doesn't even look like India will get a wicket anytime soon.

 

[NJamal]

Morgan is playing beautifully

Bell Gone

 

[Blitz]

Bell


New ball next!

300 looking tough suddenly?

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

New ball ,new batsman

 

[12cavalry]

Very well played Ian

 

[NJamal]

Laxman took a tukka catch.

 

[Ruri]

Bell out, finally.

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

Yuvraj out bowls Harbhajan yet again .

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

Bell out, a much needed wicket for India.

 

[NJamal]

Very fine Innings by Bell.

 

[Fawad2010]

Everyone should be happy now. I am sure Indians would label his wicket as 'karma'

 

[Poison]

Belly gone now, I hope everyone can get back to focusing on the cricket now.

 

[NJamal]

England in full control of this game.

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

Prior in.

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

Prior new man in

 

[NJamal]

In comes Prior.

 

[NJamal]

Prior off the mark

 

[Fawad2010]

Prior + Morgan can still cause a lot of damage, add Broad & Bresnan to the mix and 500 is very possible IMO

 

[NJamal]

Morgan is the key now for England

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

1 run

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

Nice act by Rahul, shaking hands with Bell.

 

[NJamal]

259/4

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

Eng lead 259

 

[*sallu*]

England tail is strong, expect a target of 400+ even without Trott

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

326-4. England still in control.

 

[Fawad2010]

New Ball is due in an over, if IND don't take 2-3 wicket in the next 10-15 overs, life can become very difficult....lol

 

[Blitz]

New ball next over

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

3 runs

 

[NJamal]

2 to Prior

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

Good save.

 

[James]

What did I say last night eh. Ian Ronald Bell, the key man!

 

[NJamal]

Where is Baaji? lol

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

Yuvraj >> Harbhajan. I'm not even Indian baiting now, for once. He actually looks more dangerous.

 

[*sallu*]

New ball time, make or break for India now

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

The new ball comes in.

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

New ball taken

 

[NJamal]

Kumar back with a brand new cherry in his palm.

 

[IAJ]

Hope Bhajii comes back. He is a very important player for England.

 

[chaiwala]

It doesn't even look like India will get a wicket anytime soon.

Classic jinx

Morgan

 

[Blitz]

Morgan gone.

This new ball going to cause problems.


300 looking tough!

 

[Ruri]

Good ball, we may be bowling by the end of the day!

 

[Poison]

England are pretty safe now. Nobody has successfully chased over 280 at Trent Bridge ... ever

 

[Incognito]

What did I say last night eh. Ian Ronald Bell, the key man!

Sold on him quite yet?

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

Well played Morgan.

 

[NJamal]

India slowly creeping back into the game.

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

Hey hey, I'm Pakistani.

Got the victim mentality and all. Always involved on the side Bell was on. Always wanted neutral umpires, or DRS or court cases.


So yea, I think Dhoni did the right thing.


Now if you ask an Australia, or Indian, or West Indian, or neutral English, they would probably agree with you. Opinions.

Very fair response . The cricket takes centre stage. Another big wicket! Morgan out! Go team India!

It's fun being a neutral and supporting whichever team is winning.

 

[James]

Great delivery. Another quick 60 runs and a little bowl tonight would be way beyond my expectations this morn.

 

[shan]

Little bit of swing and Morgan is out

 

[Blitz]

Trott!!!

 

[James]

Sold on him quite yet?

I kind of have to be now, yes! Missed the first two sessions but apparently it was a beauty of an innings.

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

Looks like the new ball will cause problems.

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

Trott in

 

[NJamal]

Trott walks in

 

[velu]

I thought Bell will make a double today.
He is the most elegant player in the current English side

 

[James]

IJL Trott in the middle just extinguished those chances of England bowling tonight

 

[NJamal]

Not Out, 2 sounds

 

[chaiwala]

Looked close...

 

[James]

That should have been out.......

 

[Poison]

Plumb lol

 

[NO 1 AFRIDI FAN]

Kumar swinging the ball alot.

 

[Ruri]

Drs drs drs!

 

[NJamal]

Trott of the mark.

 

[chaiwala]

Erasmus has had an inspirational test match
