Because this is my first post..and because i don't want you to be turned off by the very first post.. here goes a disclaimer.
"If 'Bells Bizarre run-out' rings any bell.. please read on. If you are thinking how did a bell run when it is supposed to ring..apologies..but this ain't for you ! " But because you took the pain to get here..i can tell you is that this is about the 'Gentleman's game' - Cricket.
And just in case you love Cricket but missed out on Bells controversial run out..here goes the brief.
Then i came across this article and i thought it would be nice take on the different side of the story ! But Nah.. just turned out Andy Flower defending him n his captain knocking the door of the Indian dressing room.
Then i thgt i could pen that different take that i expected to read..n here we are :)
What if Sachin were run out like Bell?
- England would have had champagne, instead of tea.
- India wouldn go knock on the doors of the English dressing room. We are too nice for that and not so desperate to win ;)
- Everyone would hail England's presence of mind and advocate No.1 status for them.

- Dhoni would have slammed umpiring in the post match press conference and forced Asad Rauf into an early retirement.
- Spirit of cricket would have been damned..not cos of England claiming SRT's wicket..but cos Dhoni marked his disappointment.
- English Media would bash Dhoni for his lack of sportsman spirit. Indian media would hail the goodwill of SRT for not making a fuss about it.
- BCCI would have arm twisted and had ECB to confess that they timed the tea break incorrectly.
- Ravi Shastri and Naseer Hussain can go have a go at each other with something more controversial than DRS.
- Die hard Sachin fans would shout to out England supporters "How dare you..No one but God decided when to break for tea.." !

- Lastly, Dhoni would have had another, more genuine excuse for the loss !
Cheers !
Cheers !
If we hadnt reversed the decision Dhoni's sportsman spirit wouldve been condemned by Cricketing Gurus and media. Anyway dont think the result wouldve changed even with Bell gone.
