London England fast bowler Stuart Meaker decided to call off his morning dip after sighting a snake in their hotel's swimming pool in Kochi.

However, according to an eyewitness the snake was not even close to being as large and frightening, as Meaker was keen to make out, the Daily Mail reports. The reptile turned out to be a harmless water snake, which was swiftly and calmly removed by hotel staff.

England will play India in the second one-day international in Kochi on Tuesday, leading the five-match series 1-0 after winning the first ODI in Rajkot by 9 runs.

This is the only way India stands a chance of winning matches. More snake bites and fewer English players to contend with... :-)

Snake in the swimming pool by Udaya Bose on 14 Jan 2013

Whether it was small or harmless is quite besides the point. Why was it there at all? How does anyone know on spotting it that it is "harmless"? Bad show by hotel. Bad publicity for Kerala and India

Personal by Shariq on 14 Jan 2013

The question is not whether it was big/small or harmful/harmless...The presence itself of a reptile or any foriegn object in a swimming pool of a 5 star hotel is unacceptable and unheard of. Is this the standard of a 5 star hotel in India??
