True..all reasons do make me to watch cricket on net at least. You didn't mention anything about Sri Lanka and New Zealand match which is also going for a sitter with New Zealand losing its charm in its own paradise.(Which they hardly face such a situation except when they face aussies)

janak: kyo.n? it's up and running :-)

yogesh: didn't see any of that nz-sl match, so hence no mention of it.

You saw that bit when Chapell was talking about that incident with Murali being runout by McCullum and how it was unsporting? Chapell pointed out that KP was out gardening on the pitch and that Gilly would have done nothing wrong or against 'the spirit of the game' by running KP out. He went on out professionalism and stuff and how 'spirit of the game' should not be taken in conflict.

Then Tony Greig just grunts and says in his queer voice, "Yeah, I had a similar incident with Kalicharan a long time ago", trying to defend his apalling run out attempt.

That was just about the best situational comedy can get :)

Nikhil: missed that little bit.
Indeed, Tony Greig made a career out of shoving his foot into the ethics book, so that was funny. Something about the Antipode teams.

I think Chappel(IAN) was supporting McCullum.

He said if he himself was the captain, and McCullum didn't run out Murli, he would have kicked Keeper's backside.

There is some confusion out there.

No confusion :)

I meant the same, implying that when Ian mentioned about that thing, Greig pitched in and tried to prove that he was an angel 'cos already according to Ian he had done nothing wrong.

And of course after that he said, "The crowds would have burnt the stadium if Kalicharan wasn't reinstated."

We all know that Ian or any of kins are no angels either :D
