Or possibly not. Could be the evasive action thing.

not applicable if he didnt ground his bat before avoiding the throw. school-boy stuff

Aye, I said it real time though... I hadn't had the benefit of the replay. His bat was probably 5 inches off the ground when he lifted it up again Very Happy

by The One Fri 07 Dec 2012, 07:48

as close as he could be

reminds me of the tendulkar dismissal on this ground 13 years ago. though that was wrongly given out by the third umpire

by lardbucket Fri 07 Dec 2012, 07:48

Why didn't he just hit it to the boundary?

At least the Indians have found a way of getting him out. Bowl from 35 yards ...

That is hands down the gayest way to get out in cricket - run out shying away from a ball as it's thrown in. Sad way to end a top notch innings.

by lardbucket Fri 07 Dec 2012, 07:51

Reminiscent of Chris Read?

Would not have been out even if the ball had hit the bat, surely?

by skully Fri 07 Dec 2012, 07:53

Aye and a few guys I played cricket with and against. Excellent sledge fodder.

nope. considering he didnt change direction to get in the way of the throw

That's the way I would see it. Bloody fool

That's Cook's first run out in tests, and in FC cricket as far as I can see.

by Basil Fri 07 Dec 2012, 08:13

58 ahead at tea. I think we can rule out a lead of 200 by close of play.

by lardbucket Fri 07 Dec 2012, 08:14

>>>

32.2
Sharma to Bell, no run, bashed into this tired surface and this leaps well over Bell's head (though he's only a little lad)

<<<

Dello must be bored

by tricycle Fri 07 Dec 2012, 08:35

Pietersen's taking the piss now.

by tricycle Fri 07 Dec 2012, 08:42

Sharma gets Belf's wicket.

Pretty much the only one he could.

by taipan Fri 07 Dec 2012, 08:45

Another top knock from Bell

by Brass Monkey Fri 07 Dec 2012, 08:48

Little Ronnie Knickers, knickering along. He's the form of his life, although I could be wrong.

by skully Fri 07 Dec 2012, 08:53

So the Malteser Balls melted in the hot Kolkata sunshine.

by taipan Fri 07 Dec 2012, 08:55

KP's average back up to 50

by tricycle Fri 07 Dec 2012, 08:56

Fat Sam's smashing us. We're shite.

by tricycle Fri 07 Dec 2012, 09:09

And now Pietersen's fifty. Another hundred and innings win comfortably.

by tricycle Fri 07 Dec 2012, 09:13

Pietersen gone. Clear enough.

by skully Fri 07 Dec 2012, 09:15

KP doesn't make a double. Wheels falling off. 100 lead is not enough.

Creditable work. Cool

by tricycle Fri 07 Dec 2012, 09:19

Still going to be a ten wicket wallumping though.

In 2001 we had Laxman and Dravid, now we have Yuvraj and Dhoni.
