The Cricket Thread 2014

He also looked very guilty for someone who didn't hit it.

Can't blame the umpire for that one. Must have only missed the bat by 15 inches or so!

Great innings though. He really does look the part.

DRS raises its head yet again as far as the Indian's are concerned.

DRS raises its head yet again as far as the Indian's are concerned.

Lack of DRS doesn't excuse a woeful decision though.

ICC are weak. They should just say "It's available to both sides, India can like it or lump it"

He was miles away from it though, looked more confused than guilty for me.  Terrible decision.

Really good session though, run rate up near 4 and Bell has looked very good.

[Legion]

Dhoni is a cheat.

[Dave Cooper please]

It was a better shout for LBW than a catch! Dreadful decision.

Keep batting until we get 600 I say, grind them into the dirt!

[UK Redsox]

Dhoni is a cheat.

Why ?

Al Murray on this lunchtime's VFTB has been very interesting

Claiming that catch off Ballance for a start.

I can't listen to him, he's a bit of a diva is whatever his real name is.

[PaulWinch again]

Excellent morning and we can really push the run rate on now. Ideally we'd get a few overs at them tonight,

The umpiring in this series has been horrible.

The umpiring in this series has been horrible.

Marais Erasmus gave one decision yesterday that had all the commentators going "he's got that wrong" only for the analysis to show that he'd got it right.

I do think we really need to motor now, we're going to need as much time as possible in this match. I'm curious to see about Woakes' increased pace.
