Absolutely no reason to be quiet. As I said, Australia should have batted sensibly but didn't. How ridiculous is this DRS nonsense? The "Umpire's call" has to be removed. Watson and Haddin would have been not out had the umpire given them not out. Anderson again had a very poor game. England have bowled fairly well throughout the series, but boy have the Aussies made it a walk in the park for them with some dismal batting displays. The Aussie bowling attack is perfectly fine. They need to sort out the middle order and bring in a number 3 who won't throw his wicket away and invite further pressure on Clarke etc. I guess we have the ODI's to look forward to now. The test at the Oval is meaningless, although a win for the Aussies may give them a slight boost going into this winter's tour. -

Another cracking game in a fascinating series. Australia need 299 to win and England have already wasted a review (Maybe Clarke can handover the "DRS book for dummies" to Cook). Australia need to bat in intervals - set themselves targets each session and more importantly, bat sensibly. Let's hope cheating doesn't ruin another fascinating run chase. -

What a disaster this DRS is. Nobody has a clue what the rules are. Way too much controversy and as I said earlier in the thread, the DRS is getting more attention than the actual Ashes series. Scrap it. -

Once again Jim, I ask you, how many of them in the current India squad? Also, Broad, Root etc not walking, would you say that is fair play or cheating? Finally, Swann accused the Sri Lanka lad for not walking, yet says it is perfectly fine when Broad didn't walk, do you not think that is hypocritical? Pitch is moving a lot today. Australia will have to be patient and bat very well to get close to England's target. 12-2 at the moment and Australia in all sorts of trouble. -

No, I am not mocking this country's tolerance and decency, so do not accuse me of that. I am stating the faults of the England cricket team, which consists of their management and players, whom I believe are cheats and hypocrites. I have seen enough of them in this series alone to justify my beliefs. I didn't move to England, I was born here. If you want to go on an Indian messageboard then feel free, nobody is stopping you. -

Looks as though the England bowlers will have to bail the batsmen out again. How the media have portrayed this mediocre England side to be the greatest of all time, is beyond me. Oh and noticed today that Swann is sponsored by The S*n. My hatred increases. -

How many in the current India squad? -

Another example of a cheat amongst the England ranks. Joe Root. Clear edge, heard in all 4 corners of the world yet remained at his crease. Should have walked. Cheating scumbag. -

How many of them currently play for the India team? In the past 20 years, only one player, Azharuddin, was convicted but later overturned. Majority of those players have never played a single game for the India team. Do continue... -

Possibly just covered the outside edge? Who knows? You wouldn't put it past Pietersen though. Please do. -

More reports coming out in today's news that Pietersen has been cheating. Reports claim that he has been using special silicone tape around his bat so that HotSpot cannot detect any contact. Would not surprise me at all. After all, he is surrounded by cheats. -

I don't do "second teams". I support India and that is it. I have no obligation to give any support to England, and I do not wish to either. Maybe I would be inclined to support them if they had the correct morals and ethics, however a team full of cheats and hypocrites just doesn't do it for me. Reading the news today, it seems that one of your players Panesar, has been urinating on bouncers. These are the kind of morons that the ECB wish to give central contracts to. The 952 was not painful at all. In fact I still remember the fantastic innings from Jayasuriya. Over 300+ if I remember correctly. The match ended in a draw, therefore not disappointed at all. Talking about painful, how did it feel watching Stuart Broad getting smashed all around the ground for 6 sixes from Yuvraj? Surely nothing can be more humiliating than that? -

The same approach the party took when it came to Hillsborough, yet you continue to back them. Jim, with regards to not watching the opposition. How did you rate Lara when he annihilated you to reach a record breaking 400*? Or was that just poor bowling? You cannot compare football to cricket. Completely different sport and both played at a completely different pace. If you are not paying attention to the opposition, then as somersetrover said, you're not a proper fan of the game. -

Strauss would never have got into the South African side, nor Pietersen at the time, hence they chose the easier option of England. If you would have Broad instead of Siddle, then you need to give your head a wobble. -

In the current series, Siddle, Harris, Starc and Pattinson who all have more wickets than Broad. He has an average of 52, and from all the full time bowlers, only Finn has a worse average. In the Test Bowling Rankings, Siddle is ahead of Swann and Anderson, arguably your 2 best bowlers. Broad is currently 14th, behind both Siddle and Harris. Blimey Jim, you were having a go at Theno for not knowing sweet FA about cricket, you seem equally clueless. -

They made their choice because they weren't good enough for South Africa/India. I didn't make my choice based on which team was better at the time. I supported India because my parents did. Same reason I support Blackburn Rovers. Big difference. -

Another hypocrite amongst the England camp it seems. You have a go at me for not supporting England despite being from England. Yet it's okay for the likes of Pietersen, Trott and the majority of your South African born squad, to play for England? -

Why was Broad shaking his head for? What does he want Pietersen to do? Not move from the crease like he did, cheating scumbag. -

To an extent. Yesterday that Dingle and the rest of the England cricket team were an embarrassment to the sport. 2 down now. Weather holds up then Aussies should wrap this up. Correct. Chasing 332 to win from 98 overs is not that difficult (under 4 an over). Have a go at the Aussies. If wickets tumble quickly then go on the defensive. However, they have been defensive from the start. -

India may have been fined for slow over-rate, but the reasoning was due to field changes etc from Dhoni as he is a very active captain. Cook on the other hand was deliberately slowing the game down in order to force the draw. -

Big difference between an ODI and Test match, Jim. The game was completed regardless of the slow over rate, they weren't delaying in order to change the outcome of the result, whereas Cook was scared. Hence used disgusting tactics in order to delay a cracking performance by the Aussies. Shameful. -

Daft review. Daft system in place and MUST be removed. DRS has been the talk of the series and has taken the attention away from the games greatest contests. Also, Cook should be banned for his ridiculous over-rate yesterday. Around 12 overs per hour with Swann bowling majority of the time. Disgusting. Fans have paid good money for them tickets for them to be cheated out of a full game due to idiotic tactics by the England team. An embarrassment for cricket and should be dealt with by the ICC.
