Sri Lanka v England, 2nd Test, Colombo, 9-13th Dec

Vaughan on fyaaaaaaaaaah.

STFU. I'm holding myself in until.....

He's playing very well. After a long time I see once again what the Vaugan hype was all about.

furry, stop trying to woof my man!

Not woofing.

Anyway, does he know he's your man? Might be a good time to let him know.

Cook isn't being too adventurous is he?

Anyone seeing the slow mo footage of that dismissal who still thinks the CBER doesn't chuck, is either a moron or in denial or both.

He should have played the ball along the ground, like Bradman would have.

Great players know how to keep it down.

When did Simon "The Analyst" Huges join TMS? The man's a legend! Great addition.

Yeah. Murali pulling away from Warne's old record....

Ouch!
'orrible call from Dar against KP ... chance to use the techno and the umps blew it.

Why is it a horrible call? The replays seem to be inconclusive.

Fingers pointed downward with ball in hand before his body roll momentum carried him up and over for him to flick the ball to 1st slip. Not conclusive IMO ... and, who gets the benefit of doubt??
At least they could have called for the techno replay.

But these things happen.
One incident they call for techno back-up, the next they ignore it.
This isn't a bitch ... just an observation

If the replays are inconclusive, it follows that there is doubt about the decision. If there is doubt, then KP is, by definition unlucky, as the benefit of the doubt should be given to the batsman.

The only people who still think that he does chuck are Australians.

Warne who?

Yeah, but the Umpire made a decision. Replays don't prove him wrong. Therefore the Umpire's decision stands.

I resent that.

You're just an Aussie in disguise.

I think Vaughan's knock shows just how talented he is. It's taken Cook nearly twice as many balls to get the same score as Vaughan.
