Ian Bell's run out against India - Dhoni calls him back | India vs England 2nd Test 2011

http://www.facebook.com/cricketindian - Ian Bell's Controversial Run Out vs India - Dhoni calls him back withdrawing the appeal - 2nd Test, India vs England 2011 at Trentbridge

Ian Bell was reprieved and allowed to bat on in the second Test against India at Trent Bridge after initially being controversially run out.

The incident happened off the last ball before tea when fielder Praveen Kumar incorrectly thought Eoin Morgan's effort off Ishant Sharma was going for four, but it failed to reach the rope.


Bell believed it was tea and walked towards the dressing room but the ball was returned and the bails removed with the Indians appealing for a run-out.

After a long discussion between umpires Marais Erasmus, Asad Rauf and the third umpire Billy Bowden, a furious Bell was dismissed on 137.

Dhoni is an example for sportsmen around the world.

He has so much of pressure (look at his grey hair) yet he doesnt give away his character. If I were to choose one person from the modern era to represent India to a world summit... it would be my captain MAHENDRA SINGH DHONI

First off, ask yourself, is it worth it for India to win these test matches? I am assuming they are purposely playing lazy, because they have the world cup which by far will be the greatest victory in these four years. I dont even watch these minor matches, and theres many people like me who only wait for the major matches like world cup matches, so you tell me whats the point of India beating these series?

@vixter1980 ...what war - it was a cricket match. Yep India beat Australia and went on to beat SriLanka in the final. Australia were never good enough to win and India where the best team in the competition. Their test side however is an absolute joke. They have had their arse handed to them by England and Australia at time when they were meant to be the no.1 and no.2 test side in the world. They will go home with heads hanging with shame.

[vixter1980]

@tgmcrad have you forgotten how India whipped Australia in the world cup match? Or were u blind? World Cup was the real match and India conquered that war, so now these petty test matches or ODIs do not make a big difference. So do not get so happy, remember, India owns the world cup for the next four years.

[vixter1980]

@tgmcrad these matches are not important so I guess that is why India is not putting effort into the play. The real deal was the world cup, which they conquered and which is the major and biggest acheivement in world cricket.

Yeah but it was not 4, so it was foolish from the batsmen should have been out. How was that unfair?

[jimmywrangles]

Great sportsmanship, absolutely fantastic.

@vixter1980 ... india's the performance in test cricket has been a complete and utter joke. they worked hard to earn their no1 ranking and are now playing like they don't even care. they have no spirit, no courage and no pride. in short they have become the laughing stock of world cricket. you have your head in the sand if you think otherwise.

[tgmcrad]

@vixter1980 ...India just had the ass handed to them by the Australian cricket team. Keep hanging your hat on the world cup as you are the laughing stock of world cricket. How the tide has turned.

look at attapattu's calling back of symonds in 2004,that was sportsmanship, this isnt, look how many times dhoni had to be asked, and the cunt still refused, then sachin grabs him by the balls and finally he gives on
