Rhymes with hunt! Glad he's apologised. But goes to show that kp has a case to feel victimised!

Did anyone pick up the inappropriate comment that Strauss has just apologised for live on air?

It was on the international feed, ie fox channel in Australia. During an over change. Sky feed was on a break, so we didn't get to hear it...

Strauss called KP a CXXT  and Piers Morgan has just called for Strauss to be sacked.
Didnt KP get the chop for doing exactly the same thing?

It was an unfortunate event. It was a private comment that was accidentally picked up. He has apologised which should be enough.
Piers Morgan's opinions should have no sway as he is one of the most odious beings to walk the earth. The man is a serpent.
And lets be honest - KP isn't known for being a good egg and team player. His arrogance is dialled up to 11 .

Great atmosphere and day in general today. Finch won me £30 with that six off the last ball as well!

Gilchrist also still looked pure class in my opinion (in batting terms, nothing special keeping but never really got the chances I guess).

I think the majority of people were sitting next to Indian fans :D. Had to be roughly a 50% Indian crowd I'd have thought!

Both Warne and Finchs misses when the ball hit them looked so painful, wouldn't have liked to be them. Anyone know if Gul got injured in any way, I presume so as I noticed he was off and Tendulkar and Finch were bowling his overs. Also noticed Pollock seemed to have taken to the field in the 2nd innings!

Sachins innings was lovely to watch and he still looked in good nick, amazingly his technique hasnt changed in 20 years unlike many top pros.
The dink shot he played to get out was bizarre, I dont remember him ever playing this ever in a match.
Lara played one cut shot and cover drive that made my day, that wonderful high backlift and full flourish can not be replicated.
Gilchrist was a treat to watch with some trademark shots that rolled back the years.
Gutted for Dravid whom got bowled for a golden duck, bet that hasnt happened many times in his career.

Finchs 181 sounds amazing, might have to find some highlights of it now. Saw finch play at the Swalec stadium in Cardiff last summer but he was put to shame by Jos Butler who hit a six out of the stadium and over the river outside. It was huge!

What did Strauss say !!!!

He made a very accurate comment about KP.

KP really did make a good case for an England recall! stumped for 10 and 2 overs for 29.

Kp was made to look silly by ajmal-at one point he was going to run thru the batting with four wickets till he was taken off
Kp then fielded and bowled as if he was not interested
But he did sign autographs for lots of fans today on the boundary
Whatever the rights and wrongs of what Strauss said theres no doubt he meant it
He should apologise for using that word on commentary but thats what he thinks about kp
No love lost there obviously
