Yet another bad decision to get rid of Ganguly. But India cruising ahead.

Of course, England supporters will bleat that "it's all part of the game" for the poor decisions of Tendulkar & Ganguly. But had it been the other way around, we would be hearing about it till the cows came home and for several years afterwards.

Well, the two bad decisions have definitely changed the course of the game. What was heading towards a declaration is probably now heading towards an all-out with a lead less than what would make Dravid happy.

It will be interesting to see if Taufel will be sporting a new convertible in a few days. After all, he is a good umpire.

Good umpire is an understatement Nostromo, he has been winning all these awards of late. He sure deserves a new convertible.

But then, that probably was the only way to bring some competition back into the game. Now English bowlers have to remove the tail and depend on KP and co to put up a brave fight.

Make that convertible a Merc or Aston Martin and KP & Co will be helped to put up a brave fight.

I think this is unfair. You are talking about a small minority of supporters. Certainly the majority of England fans I meet may have some small complaints but do accept bad decisions. Strauss for example in the winter got a few bad decisions but after a few complaints like everyone else they get on with it.

You asked for a bleat boys so here it comes!!

Firstly ganguly was dead against Sidebottom in the first 20 minutes before he got to 15 this morning and subsequently should have been given against Monty also. As you guys are so interetsed in pointing out umpiring errors a bit surprised you didn't mention those two or indeed when Monty had your opener dead again yesterday only to be denied. Surely the reason you neglected to mention them can't be because they were in your favour can it? Just me being a one eyed irrational Englishman I guess unlike you famously unbiased Indian supporters who don't care if your team wins or loses as long as its a good fair game right?

These decisions will not in all probability effect the result of the game, UNLIKE the abhoration by Bucknor at the end of the game at Lords. If the umpires were on form for this series sure Tendulkar might still be batting with a hundred to his name but Laxman would have been in considerably earlier and your crucial opening stand would not have been of such stature after the poor decision yesterday.

Also you would be 1-0 down in the series!!

That bleat good enough for you boys?

Garbage and you know it,we both had bad ones at Lords but got on with it.What i complain about is when an umpire who constantly gives bad ones like Koertzen gives them,if it is Taufel who does it at least you know it is a rare mistake.

Still at least we aren't like Pakistan who end an umpires career with claims of racism.

India well on top and should cruise to victory here.
