Highlights 103.2 M Morkel to BA Stokes, out, slogged up into the air and taken by long-off running in!

Morkel gets this third, he has bowled well, though this was a simple slap into the air, well taken by Rabada on the move | Jul 28, 2017

3rd Test: ENG vs SA at The Oval, Jul 27-31, 2017
90.3 M Morkel to MM Ali, out
Highlights 90.3 M Morkel to MM Ali, out, big appeal for caught behind (or maybe lbw as well) given not out and Faf eventually reviews. Third umpire says the review is for lbw. Good length, angling in at Moeen, and there's an inside edge here...he will be caught behind because de Kock held the catch. Very similar to Alastair Cook at Trent Bridge | Jul 28, 2017

"Our country is a unique problem." -Babulal Gaur, Regional minister in charge of relief and rehabilitation
True, very true.
Very sad and very disturbing.
we spend so much time seeking our own advancement & entertainment that we sometimes forget that there are real issues out there that need addressing. sometimes they are not so far out there but right in our backyard slowly feeding off the suffering of those we take no notice of because they do not seem 2 matter to us, because we are not the ones suffering directly. @ times we should take a step back & ask how can we contribute to making the life of another better? without seeking our own benefit or the benefit of persons we know because after all suffering is similar 2 cancer it can be hiding latent in a certain sector of the body for years b4 metastasizing & spreading all over b4 u know it.
US government is supporting the guilty (Anderson) and Indian government is not at all worried about the innocents
is it the difference between India and US?
I'm speechless
The question is:"what can we do now?" and "What should we do now?"
thanks cricinfo
This is in response to one of the viewer's comments "...Watch the videos feel bad get angry get inspired put a comment share with your friends and then forget about it."
NO, you can actually do more than that. Visit Student For Bhopal (http://www.studentsforbhopal.org/) or International Campaign for Justice in Bhopal (ICJB) (http://bhopal.net/) to find out how every individual's participation can make a difference.
I am speechless, seeing this video has made the horror come alive, once again. Not just because I have spent my childhood at Bhopal, and the city is very close to my heart. But also because of the state in which the politicians, on whom we trust, have abandoned the city and it's residents. It's a shame seeing Babulal Gaur say that the 'Gas' has nothing to do with the people being in such a state, a senior minister who was also the Chief Minister of the state for 2 years! Pathetic. This video however, is brilliantly made, it goes deep inside the wounds of the real sufferers of the horrible incident. I wish more people see this video, good effort E-60/ESPN-CricInfo, I salute you.
Highly touching video! One of the best I have seen on Cricinfo..
dow has no relation to the tragedy or its aftermath? you bought the damn company so you bought the responsibility of the tragedy and its continuing effects on its residents. on the flipside, experts and professionals should have been flown in to clean up the area and put it off-limits (obviously with everyone relocated conviniently) INSTEAD of giving money to the government which never trickles down to solve the issues.
Thoughtful video..... Thx cricinfo
