5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

[King Kane]

That was a shocking run out from Gill, not sure what he was thinking, there was never a run there

 

[GIMH]

Damn we’ve missed Atkinson.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Gill disrupted the bowlers tempo with that attempted quick single though so it's worth it.

Nair should do it as well imo.

 

[SkyBlue]

What a gift of a wicket

That's the game for us. Needed a big innings from Gill.

 

[Chin Music]

Damn we’ve missed Atkinson.

It seemed to have been forgotten that he actually bowled pretty well away from home on the two tours last winter, let alone getting to fill his boots last summer v Windies.

 

[ImpatientLime]

mother nature took control of proceedings there and decided nobody needed to see anymore of overton

Is the game ever on for you lol

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

That was pathetic. I switch on the TV and find Gill's gone, figure it's the usual way he's liable on a green top. A ****ing run-out?

 

[Paranoid Kendroid]

Is the game ever on for you lol

abd fan. guess he's used never being "on" for any important game

 

[King Kane]

Gill should be even more filthy with himself for running himself out just before another rain break.

He shouldn't have listened to Molehill.

What ails Jaiswal? Is he simply not as good as we thought? Looks becalmed and out of sorts in his movements and "intent" at the crease.

He did get some good fortune on those seamier decks in Australia, but showed a lot of mental resilience there. Seems to have gotten worse and worse as the series has gone on, don't think he knows where his stumps are, bit of a mess atm.

Gavaskar for the time being breathes a sigh of relief..

Gill needs 32 runs in the 2nd dig to eclipse him.... if the weather holds up & he gets another chance,that is.

Bradman's series record of course probably lives for another decade or so & Walcott will still probably stand alone as the only batsman hitting 5 centuries in a series.

As for the day... very truncated & it might get messier in regards to other affairs as the match wears on.

Rain saving India here

Could be partially due to the drop catches from the first test affecting his confidence

 

[Arachnödouche2.0]

Yeah, doesn't seem like a technical issue even though the lack of footwork may suggest it. Just seems caught in a mental haze and making bad decisions as a result... or no real decision at all as seen today.

 

[ashley bach]

He's struggling with the English food imo
