What is it with Laxman and stumps going for a walk? Keep seeing it again and again.
 
The ball isn't even that amazing, it just looks it because of how the batsmen misses the line, same was the case last time with Laxman.
 
It was the wobbleseam again actually, a good ball, Jimmy pulls them out even in the sun and on flat pitches nowadays.
 
Right on target, very well played by Mishra for a quick single.
 
Look on Laxman's face after being bowled is best sight in cricket, today he atleast smiled otherwise he always express shock, but eyes were lit up even today.
 
Trent Bridge ball was slightly better, neither were 'beauties' though. Laxman played all over the line on both equations.
 
No rain tommorow.

England should wrap it up, with time to spare.
 
Laxman is massively overrated batsman with a very ordinary technique.
 
Jimmy has crossed 20 wickets in his past 3 full series now. 21 atm. Brilliantly consistent bowling nowadays. He was highest wickettaker against Pakistan, and against Aussies, and has not gotten a MotM since Pakistan's first match. Just very good, very consistent.
 
Hawkeye showing it was pretty much exactly straight. Played ALL around it. :))) :)))
 
On second thought is it also something about the way laxman plays because we have seen him getting out this way more than a few times

Literally the photo copy of this dismissal

Sometimes the delivery is not as good as the way he gets bowled and makes it look

:)) So true. Always gives the impression as if the bowlers are not worthy of going through his defense.
 
Once again, the match is dead a buried for India....and he's risen to take advanatge.


Mr 'I'm too cowardly to ever bat at no.3' Sachin Tendulker.

I must correct you, sir. Pakistani quickies are generally 85+ mph, so they must be called FAST bowlers. All bowlers that bowls below 75 mph and STILL call themselves quickies are associated with PHAAST bowling. I.E Parveen Kumar, Ishant Sharma and rondmoon (Sree)
 
Strauss is missing a trick. No need to have people deep on the offside, it will be a big risk driving against the spin so late in the day.
 
Superb batting against a quality spinner on a turning,bouncing track on the 4th day!
 
"They should have sent Raina as the nightwatchman in order to protect Mishra," snipes Devang.

Except 34 out of his 48 ODI hundreds coming when india won

and only 40 out of his 51 test hundreds result in india win/draw

the rest 99 are useless !!!!
 
Tendulkar was out stumped! No Appeal from England hahaha. Fail. :))
 
England can only blame themselves, they didn't appeal.

and in test cricket the only match winning 100 sachin made was when chasing 387 in 2008 but even that was thanks 2 sehwag 82 of 67 balls. name any other decent test 100? in 1998 sachin made 100s vs aussie no mcgrath

in 2003/04 sachin made runs vs aussie no mcgrath no warne

Nasser Hussain: Sachin Tendulkar, arguably the great batsman of all time..

Cornerd tiger (great expert) : Sachin is useless

Jealousy is astounding :(
 
Problem with India is that they're still stuck in T20 mode. I mean look at the RR! 3.75 and that's when they've been told to follow-on :facepalm:

Oh no, I'm going to have to eat a humble pie when, by some miracle, India save this match, and end up losing a respectable 3-0.


Get over yourself.

This is the most cowardly team I have seen in a while, and Sachin personifies it.


How demotivating, when he forces a guy like Laxman to change positions. The same man who won all those matches against Australia from the dead.
 
Alirght Botham, stop crying, we all know it was out. Can't review if there's no appeal so forget about it already. :facepalm:
 
Mishra looks more solid than some of their top 7 batsman
