True but same could be said of Pankaj Singh. Singh is statically the worst debutant of all time...

Luck isn't on Woakes' or Singh's side in this match.

For once I agree with you on something.

Delighted for Moeen, he'll only get better.

[AverageCricketer]

Who would have thought that Moeen would have got 6 wickets?

[Kal]

Well that ended quickly. Good on Ali. Looks like jimmy going on a long holiday now

Well done England, fantastic effort and pleased to be watching some decent cricket again. Really pleased for Moeen. He may have been gifted a few wickets over the series so far but so what. To take wickets against India on placid wickets in England should do wonders for his confidence!

I wouldn't be so certain. Given Jadeja seems to be able to appeal on losing his match fee when it wasn't possible, I wouldn't be surprised if Jimmy's offence is downgraded. All these countries bring lawyers into it and I imagine England having 11 guys who swear blind nothing happened will make it difficult to stick. I doubt we will ever know without CCTV. Even if he was found guilty, I imagine Jimmy could appeal it and delay things another test or two.

Dhoni says Ishant is not playing at Manchester...Seems like the 'tightness is his leg' was actually a pulled/torn hamstring/calf...

We've got to give him a run now, he'll be properly good in a few years

Just watch Clubman Anderson's MoM interview. Atherton asked was he confident and Anderson's body language gave the game away.

Bye bye clubman.

[Sam]

Anderson will be banned. Maybe he'll learn to keep his uneducated mouth shut next time...

We can't forget guys that Gerry was clearly next to them at the time so already knows the final verdict.

[uknsaunders]

India where granted the right to appeal after they provided a video of whatever happened in the Nottingham pavilion.

Anderson will be banned. Maybe he'll learn to keep his uneducated mouth shut next time...

You seem very sure Gerry. In the real world, outside the "I hate Jimmy Anderson" club, many things are shades of grey and lawyers are pretty good at getting clients off. Not saying Jimmy did or didn't say or do those things, but it might well boil down to hearsay. Both in Rugby and Football in the UK the offending parties bring lawyers to such hearings just to make sure the process is robust. Any doubt and the offence gets downgraded or thrown out.

You're behaving like Anderson is public enemy number one. Just aswell there has never been any wrong-doing or controversy in SA cricket.....oh wait.

An ICC level 1(Jadeja's charge) can't be appealed under any case.

That was until BCCI submitted this 'video'.

David Boon, who issued Jadeja's sanction, after hearing of this new evidence agreed to reevaluating the sanction.

Boon isn't a mug. So no smoke no fire.

[petehosk]

No smoke without fire?
Probably right but time will tell.
Talking of no smoke without fire... A certain troll who worships Dale and Michell, and even calls Broad World Class!
Dale is SA and undeniably the best on the planet! Mitchell and Broad are very tall and athletic. So maybe this troller has a rather big crush on Mitch and Broad? Hold on....this is making sense now!
The Clubman doesn't hold the same attraction to our little SA friend!

[uknsaunders]

We'd be winning Test matches papi...

Not beating up opposition players...

No you'd rather be cheating by tampering with cricket balls - twice
