England v Sri Lanka - 3rd Test (Official thread)

[Titanic]

This may help to explain my displeasure at it all.

TITANIC, this is what I mean. I know the laws allow his bowling, but I ask you, was it right to set the rules as they did?

Bowling Actions

Yes, and that was 18 months ago. For heavens SAKE man, GET OVER IT

I make no secret of the fact, I'm a BAD LOSER. When we win, I'm over it, when we lose, I'm not.

18 months to get over an injustice? Blimey, you haven't met me. I'm still fuming about the hand of God, and I'm not too pleased about Whiteside'[s challenge on Ramsey in 1983, and come to think of it I was fuming only last night about Holland not winning the 1974 World Cup when they were clearly the best. If truth be told, I felt rather gutted for Hungary (1954) when I was watching World Cup stories last night.

18 months? Not even close matey.

... and I'm not too pleased about Whiteside'[s challenge on Ramsey in 1983,

That one will NEVER be forgiven or forgotten

 

[Gritt23]

That one will NEVER be forgiven or forgotten

AGREED!

no illusion arry its a chuck.....

Blimey, I doubt there's a player in the world who's been examined, tested, photographed and assessed more than Murali. He's had umpires and officials from the entire world poking at his action and everyone (bar one Aussie) is happy with his action.

Just let it go...

with a bent arm?

 

[Pavilionaire]

You make it sound like it's a new phenomenon?!

I know his action has been the subject of debate for years, but my point is it is not a valid excuse for losing this test match.

[Uncle Buck]

Thats his 7th wicket....

 

[Mr Blobby]

He has just taken wicket number 7.

132-7

 

[Pavilionaire]

Could today be the most shit day at a test for an England fan for years?

Did you read my link? Just in case you can't be arsed to look,

Chucking

In short, yes they did examine his action in great detail, and they found it to be illegal, so they changed the rules!!!!

 

[Gazwag]

We will lose by 180 runs with our in ability to hold catches in the first match giving us a series draw

Not going to be far out am I

 

[Marshy]

yep

 

[humpy]

nice one hoggy stopped the 10 for........

 

[Mr Blobby]

If I was Pakistan I would have Mushy in my test team. He is another bowler players "fear" to bat against and help get themselves out. From a Sussexand England point of view I hope they dont!

 

[Gritt23]

I've said all along, we've been outplayed, and I am a bad loser. I won't argue either of those things.
