India shows sportsman spirit but England cheats : says Dhoni


Indian cricket team captain, Mahendra Singh Dhoni is very sad after the humiliating 319 runs loss against England, which has now put them on the verge of losing their world number one title. He is not feeling bad because of the team's bad performance but due to the face that the English team didn't show any trace of sportsman spirit.

After the match, he said "We did our best calling Ian Bell from the pavallion but it seems as though English team was not worth it. Their batsmen stay at the crease even if they know they are out. Is this their spirit of the game??"

On the question that India is not playing according to the number one title, he said "Yes, I agree. As we are talking of this series, we have been playing bad. We were missing so many things in our game." He also said that the team will fight back and the issue of their concern is the team's batting, which has been very wobbly this tournament.

Biggest Cricket controversy - VVS Laxman accused for using Vaseline on bat to trick review!!!



Nottingham. One of the biggest controversies of the cricketing history has aroused in the current India vs England test series. Team India's star batsman VVS Laxman is the main center of this controversy. Laxman has been accused with the allegation that he applied Vaseline on his bat so that he is not caught in the review by the hot-spot technique. This dispute started when former British captain Michael Vaughan wrote on Twitter ‘Has Vaseline on the outside edge saved the day for Laxman?’


In the first session of the day two, Laxman was given not out by the third umpire. Laxamn was taken by surprise by a sparking delivery from James and Jimmy and the wicket keeper Matt Prior appealed hard for a caught behind decision against Laxman. But the umpire declared Laxamn as not out. Then the England captain Andrew Strauss asked the umpire for using the Decision Review System (DRS). But by using this technique also, third umpire declared Laxman as not out.
