*Official* Fourth Test at The Oval

[centurymaker]

is this a test match or a low-class first class match. can't tell

 

[Jayzamann]

So is that a new Gray Nicholls helmet or something else? Strauss' helmet that got shashed a moment ago must have lasted a long time if they don't make that design any more.

 

[centurymaker]

I hope Cook doesnt go on to make a double-hundred because I do not want this to happen.

fmd hilarious ****

mishra wanted to be part of it too....

 

[Jayzamann]

Nom nom nom off drives.

 

[GotSpin]

Why have India bothered getting off the bus today.

 

[Prince EWS]

Their 3 best bowlers? Presumably you're referring to Zaheer, Harby & Kumar, if so;

Whilst Kumar has been revelation with his honest medium pace swing & seam on this tour, surely he's not one of the three Best bowlers in India. While Harbhajan is a shadow of the bowler he was 5-10 years ago, I mean even Vettori out-bowled him in the NZ/Ind test series in India late last year. Only Zaheer is one of the 3 best for mine.

Well you've seen their other bowlers. Definitely the best three for me.

 

[centurymaker]

**** bowlers killing test cricket!

 

[Manee]

Sreesanth's more like 80-85mph isn't he? And there's a significant difference between that and 90+mph

That is just the thing. If he charged in and went full tilt, he could bowl 90mph as in the WC Final, but that is so fantastically irrelevant that it shouldn't, (but does) figure in selectors minds.

Sreesanth is also incredibly **** and the fact he is playing is a ridiculous joke.

 

[Uppercut]

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.

 

[Spark]

Raina?

Raina?

But he picked up 2 or 3 wickets on the 2007 tour!!!

Raina before lunch on day one.

[Burgey]

Right, get in now. England first dig sweepstakes. Closest to but not higher.

7-625 is my bet

Wickets don't count but feel free to add them in of you wish.

Think I'll hit the hay. It's like watching centre wicket practice.

 

[_Ed_]

Haha, fantastic footage of Alec Stewart.

 

[Spikey]

1201

for 4

 

[GIMH]

Think we might declare around 550, weather permitting

That's 550-2 FTR. Ravi doesn't bat.

 

[Burgey]

1201

for 4

That was the Magna Carta signing wasn't it?

 

[four_or_six]

Why, at least, is Mishra not bowling?

 

[Spikey]

For a South African Strauss is very passionate about English History. I for one think it would be a nice touch

 

[Cevno]

Why, at least, is Mishra not bowling?

This.

Raina FFS? And Sehwag still looks unable to ball and not fully fit to me.
