When did Haydos become an Indian ? fair bit of arse kissing in the commentary box.

Gotta laugh at Sunny " this pitch is much better for the batsmen than in South Africa or Australia where you take your life in your hands when the ball is zipping around and past your head, at least on spin friendly pitches it is safe for the batsmen"

Safe for Indian batsmen is what he meant.

As much as I am a big fan of Oozie, I would have played Head over him, he plays way too much off the back foot, or from the crease and reaches out with his hands, he's a walking wicket on these pitches, although that's not how he got out last night. We're probably going to miss Head's bowling as much as his batting.

oh, and congrats to Harry Potter, already looks better than the BOAT.

I give the benefit of the doubt. But surely international cricketers know they need to either give the ball to the umpire or show the umpire what they are doing.

Jadeja and Rohit met with match-referee Pycroft to clarify visuals of spinner rubbing a substance on his bowling finger

I use relief cream with my hands all the time FFs!!

 

[Bazal]

Soooooo one year bam for Jadeja then?

 

[mozza91]

Typical boorish behaviour from India. National disgrace, life bans etc.

Couldn't think of a worse start to the series here. Got the team selection wrong and then followed up with some pretty poor shot selection by most of the top 7 in the best of the batting conditions. Far too loose with the ball too. They panicked in just about all areas.

should have blamed it on his mum

 

[yobbo84]

When I want pain relief cream, I always get it applied to the hand of a teammate first, screw squeezing it directly out of the tube, that's the stuff right there!

If it’s not a mint or sandpaper, it’s play on.

Pain relief is generally Panadol or the like, seriously, I'm no doctor but who uses local pain relief cream if they have a sore finger

and yes, the BCCI obviously doesn't have an issue with it

first the pitches and now this, some things just never change

 

[Fangs]

Its obviously not for his finger.

Storm is a tea cup though. No amount of vaseline will help our bowlers. We were trash in the final session, particularly Patrick Cummins. We need him at his best in the first session today otherwise we are toast.

I mean I'm not taking Panadol for a blister?

I think it's funny and dumb but it's far too blatant for it to have been an actual attempt at ball tampering.
