India have won the toss and will bowl.

Should be a cracker. I shall be watching in between snippets of the Lions match. How marvellous to be able to watch sport from your desk at work.

So what do people think of the Ramdin ban then?
It was pretty blatant and it looks awful, but batsmen don't walk when they edge a ball, is it that much worse?

I don't have much sympathy for him. He cheated and deceived the umpire. And I think there is the difference. A batsman should of course walk if he edges it, but at least the fielding team can refer it if they are convinced that he has.

Oh, and I'm sticking with the cricket, where sadly, Chris Gayle has departed.

However the Lions match looks like it is a complete farce, they lead 26-0 after barely a quarter of the game. Another total waste of time then.
