Just now, Lord said:

Why blame them? Its Dhoni who was a coward and called back

That was the right call made by Dhoni, there is no point in playing the game if you are not fair.

 

Kris Srikanth got run out just like Johnny did here  in Mumbai 1981 test.

England then easily could have withdrawn the appeal but spirit of the game applies only when either Australia or England are at receiving end.

What's unfair in following the rules? Its umpire who gave him out.

Ofcourse the convict stock show their true colours. Lmao. 

Wondering what some pajeet from cancuckland will say about all this in reference to 'sporting culture'.

As per rules he was out, as per sporting spirit of the game he was rightly recalled by Dhoni.

 

As I said both Aussies and England talk about spirit of the game only when they are at receiving end. 

 

But India does not need to follow those idiots.

Smith puts down. Australia choking loool

Stokes is like the white Yuvraj

Australia has put unwanted pressure on themselves. They are dropping catches now.

Aussies have taken the sheen out of this win by claiming the runout.

What a player ben stokes

[khadekhademaaro]

50 runs 4 wickets will make it even and that when the pressure kicks in

Stokes won at Headingly with 1 wicket when 75 odd was needed. England ahead at the moment looking at momentum.

That is a no loss situation. One will continue to take chances. 50 runs 4 wickets creates doubts. May be not with Stokes , yes but you can understand what I mean

Should bowl starc at full pace soon else this match is gone for australia.

Probably he is planning to have starc with green so one rhythm and hard to hit bowler stays later but that is really defensive tactics. 

[Nikola]

Stokes is inconsistent but when in this flow he can win any match.

[Norman]

Stokes is the anti Kohli/Rohit

 

Absolutely mediocre for 90% of the time but turns up and plays a worlde when everything is on the line.

Did Steve Smith drop the Ashes?

[aditya19]

Starc can save this with some magic yorkers ..80/20 in england's favour
