International Regular
India aren't the first team to lose the toss at the Oval and fail to take a wicket in the first session.

So it turns out RP Singh wasn't just pretending to be **** when he failed to take any wickets in Indian domestic cricket for three years.

Worth a shot though eh.
So true. Selection based on hunches ftl. Brings to light Cribb's point of players being recalled despite having done nothing, once people got desperate and forgot how **** they once were to have lost their spot in the first place, i.e. Irfan Pathan.

Dying to know how they managed to bowl only 26 overs this session. It just doesn't seem possible

It is frustrating because he was steadily improving but now it is as good as back to step 1, which is to string a few domestic seasons AWAY FROM THE TEST TEAM together.

He's also much fatter than I remembered. Lots of wobbly bits when they showed the split screen of him and Aamer earlier.

Ooooh... The WS Classic at lunch tonight is that Bevan match at the SCG.

Was there that night. Had forgotten Harper's appalling claiming of the c&b off Bevan early doors.

The difference in Irfan Pathan and RP Singh being that Irfan was perfoming very well before his injury in FC while RP was ****.

Irfan also was gaining form and looking fit during the IPL and RP was **** even in that and looking out of order. Also Irfan gives a option of playing 5 bowlers to offset the loss of Zaheer with no need to ****ing bowl Raina while RP doesn't.

Ah come on now, I've been petitioning for Irfan Pathan to play (owing to the fact he's a pure sack of **** against anyone who isn't Bangladesh or Zimbabwe).
