[Amjid Javed]

W.I 398/5

Should avoid the follow on here just depends how close they get to englands total.

Sarwan and ramdin playing well here...

 

[Amjid Javed]

Thats close day 3

Harpers two referral decisions were a joke! what happened to benefit of the doubt!

 

[Boi]

Harper Messed the whole day up!!

 

[Taurus]

Bore draw or England loss are the only results possible now. Apart from Swann, the whole England attack has looked poor. I suppose flat pitches do that to people, but we really need better bowlers than Anderson and Sidebottom. Broad and Swann look like two reliable players for the next few years especially as they are both multi-dimensional cricketers.

Those with TVN subscriptions can watch highlights of the day now

Day 4 about to begin - yet all the talk is about that Chanderpaul decision.

This sort of thing brings cricket into disrepute.

Its easy to fine/ban players for over-zealous appealing or slow overrates, but what about the umpires/administrators who made cricket look like a joke yesterday?

What is the point of technology - if you wont use it fully???

Not bias - just desperation really.

Windian pitches are more subcontinental these days. A travesty...
