Don't forget to go into your newsagent's tomorrow morning and let him know how lucky he has been that you didn't shake!

It was nearly an unpleasant episode but was rescued by the sanity and good sportsmanship of the Indian captain. There was never any question of 'cheating'.

Ignoring your slight against noble arrow chuckers I cite the (allbeit fictitious) well know gentleman and all round good egg Bertie Wooster, vis- "The beefy ?Stilton? Cheesewright has drawn Bertie Wooster as red-hot favourite in the Drones club annual darts tournament ?" - from 'Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit'. http://www.wodehouse.co.uk/bookprofile.php?rnd=eaKBqO3Z%2FbrkpCb3FbRIdrJsW9KL32kErqrzNl7OOab80hWTKwcS%2BalOBneXdJi2

Such talk in this heat - now I just feel all itchy.

Any and every sport where gentlemen are present. Cheap shot and the fact so many Indian fielders stepped forward to shake his hand seems to indicate you're alone in thinking it.

Does SpagSue know she's not allowed to bring her net?

Step it up if you like but you will be playing into my hands, you can, after all and ultimately, only go to one level of security - MAXXIMUM (and she tells me everythingB))

Not my OH now that's for sure. After steadfastly roasting herself in the sun's rays at every possible opportunity she has gone a deep and even (very) light tan.

Sanity prevails. ETA: I never accused anyone of cheating doc, a lack of sportsmanship is not cheating - it is something that the heat of battle provokes but which can always - as in this case - be resolved by the players themselves and India deserve full credit for accepting the reality of the situation and acting accordingly.

Very pretty graphics Huge - like some of the stuff Scientologists used to hand out in Tottenham Court Rd., Left wing!? What fucking left wing? I don't remember seeing a left wing government here or in the US for over 30 years.

Just popping in to say that I am leaving an 'open' second for any proposal against doc in here (valid for 24 hours) and to tell Frankie that the tunnel has been completed but comes out far to close to the lake for safety - suggest rethink.

I understand your Caledonian infatuation with the sun Frankie, my OH is a blue-white celt from the land of Riverdance and is in sunbathing mode the moment it pops its head out from behind a cloud (usually some time in May), but you can't be serious. What is there not to love?? Suffocating heat, the way pollution just seems to sit around, sweat, other peoples' sweat, public transport, #*&$s with loud music in cars, little swine on scooter/mopeds nyiing-nyiinging their way up and down interminably, pubs that don't know how to keep beer properly cold, midges-mosquitoes and flies, children being off school, the smell of ambre solaire, the smell that emanates from dried up drains, sunburn, caravans on the roads, no football, adults dressed as 10 year olds, dirt and dust accumulating with no rain to wash it away, flying ants, tourists, summer tv schedules, misanthropists moaning about how they wish it would rain.

Tuffers is right - the gloves are off. Any time an Indian batsman wants to walk out of his crease to do a bit of 'gardening' now England should whip the bails off and appeal.

That's ridiculous - a run out when everyone's heading for tea!?? Letter of the law versus sportsmanship or lack of concentration by Bell? Tut!

I nominate LM... *waits for seconder.......*

Two obvious ones that are missing: 1. Whole Lotta Love - Led Zep (Perhaps the best known rock intro of all for anyone of the TOTP generation) 2. Smoke On The Water - Deep Purple (Particularly when the bass riff kicks in) ETA : propper spwe3lling

On TMS they said his hat-trick was the first ever against India - forecast tomorrow is for good batting weather so if England can get a patient 300-350 they'll have two days to bowl the Indians out. Trott needs to dig in and KP needs to score big.
