Crookbond Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Bell saved by the law after bizarre helmet reprieve Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/cricket/article-2121271/Top-Spin-Test-Bell-saved-law-bizarre-helmet-reprieve.html#ixzz1qOVGLm41 Ian Bell was granted a bizarre reprieve when he swept off-spinner Suraj Randiv straight at short leg. The ball ricocheted off the fielderÃÔ shins and up on to his helmet, before wicketkeeper Prasanna Jayawardene claimed the rebound. But Law 32.3(e) states that a catch is no longer fair if it has touched a ÃÑrotective helmet?
CSK Fan Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/cricket/article-2121271/Top-Spin-Test-Bell-saved-law-bizarre-helmet-reprieve.html#ixzz1qOVGLm41 Well the law seems fair enough. The helmet is there to protect the fielder. However, if the helmet was not there, the ball wouldnt have bounced to the keeper most likely. so helmet is for protection but not for unfair advantage

I cant recall the game but i have definitely seen someone getting out in that fashion. Could it be new law?
cameron_black Posted March 28, 2012 Posted March 28, 2012 Wow.. I cant recall the game but i have definitely seen someone getting out in that fashion. Could it be new law? during the 2008 IND tour of SL that happened twice, both times to indian batsmen but the umpires/fielders weren't aware of the rule i think. commentators kept on saying those weren't out.

Square Drive Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 your only business in this forum is to curse sri lankans it seems. got ass raped by one by any chance? Lol very ignorant user account.. :haha: What happened to your broadband connections? The bandwidth is getting too crowded and they are applying various restrictions. So we have to keep changing the providers based on theirs current service.. Just after the test win I changed to a new provider. It's so faaaaaaaaaaaaaat now.. :aha: wires got destroyed in the war. I'm using a wireless connection.. :P
Cricket Tragic Posted March 29, 2012 Author Posted March 29, 2012 So has the road construction begun for the 2nd test? :hmmm:
mishra Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 English need Bopara In, either Kp or Bell out... Bopara in at the expense of Motu Patel wouldnt be right decision but thats what gonna happen next game
Cricket Tragic Posted March 29, 2012 Author Posted March 29, 2012 Doesn't take long for people to want KP out, does it?
mishra Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 ^ Wanted Bell out.... Was forced to put KP in there because of Bells first inning performance
Cricket Tragic Posted March 29, 2012 Author Posted March 29, 2012 Not just you but most English fans that I know can't wait for KP to be dropped.
mishra Posted March 29, 2012 Posted March 29, 2012 Yeah, I know what you are saying.....I think Bopara is better batsman on Asian conditions and should be in playing eleven. But I am really disappointed by this Ghochu Patel... Both the innings he gave away his wicket..... Make me think what the point of him being there if he will keep getting out in odi fashion...
Cricket Tragic Posted March 29, 2012 Author Posted March 29, 2012 Bopara was an embarrassment on his last tour of SL.
Emperor2kings Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Also I remember those days we enjoyed great broadband connections, very fast and reliable, unlike now.. :facepalm: Speed has quadrupled last time I checked.
Cricket Tragic Posted March 30, 2012 Author Posted March 30, 2012 Broad out for the next test. Atleast that's 1 less review that England will waste when they're batting. I hope that they bring Finn in.
Sid Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Broad out for the next test. Atleast that's 1 less review that England will waste when they're batting. I hope that they bring Finn in. :cantstop: Ya I also hope they play Finn,I m his big fan ,he will definately trouble the lankans.
The Outsider Posted March 30, 2012 Posted March 30, 2012 Broad out for the next test. Atleast that's 1 less review that England will waste when they're batting. I hope that they bring Finn in. With Broad out they will also be forced to drop Patel and play Bopara - they won't risk going with 5 bowlers (not sure what Patel is to be honest, but am assuming he was playing as a bowler since he batted below Prior) without Broad's batting. I feel Sri Lanka are going to serve up a patta and Jaya, Sangakkara, and Samarweera are going to bat and bat till tears start running down the eyes of the English players.

[b']I feel Sri Lanka are going to serve up a patta and Jaya, Sangakkara, and Samarweera are going to bat and bat till tears start running down the eyes of the English players. the p.sara oval generally offers a result oriented pitch. i don't expect any difference this time around either. if anything, it will offer some assistance to the fast bowlers unlike galle. i'd say they'll play bresnan and finn in place of patel and broad.
India-KXIP fan Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 Nice to see Lankans make themselves useful and knock Eng of No.1 ranking.
Crookbond Posted March 31, 2012 Posted March 31, 2012 As a captain, you love to be challenged - Jayawardene I thought we won the crucial moments. We managed to get a decent score on the board in the first innings and then bowled them out cheaply while the pitch was still good. When we collapsed again in the second innings, we managed to get some good partnerships from the lower order, which proved vital. The extra 60-70 runs we had was the difference. http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/content/story/559305.html
