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

Silly Point 2.0

U19 12th Man
Joe Root was the senior pro at Yorkshire when all that was going on and also England captain for a decent part of it, yet apparently knew nothing of it. What a ****ing joke.

Questions to answer.
Jason Gillespie and Aaron Finch were also there (and around far more than Root ever was with his England commitments), yet have never been questioned.
 

Hungry Llama

U19 Vice-Captain
Those 6 dropped catches allowed India to make 100 more than they could have dreamed . England unlikely to get 250 as the other India quicks all seem to bowl much better when Bumrah isnt playing and the pitch got plenty of life in it as ducky found out.
I would have liked to see Kuldeep play at some stage but how can you drop Washy when hes in such form. Amazing stuff, we need a spinner like that and its not bethel.

What is the nature of Woakes injury? Could he really not bat / run if required?
His arm is in a sling so it’s hard to see how he can actually bat.

But what if England need 2 runs to win and the ninth wicket goes down with the 6th ball of the over. Can Woakes come out and stand at the non striker’s end?

International Coach
Feels like a perfect morning for bowling, warm and cloudy with the odd shower later to give the quicks some rest (bit like Day 1 when England were too wayward).

And the rest! Jaiswal alone made 98 more after being dropped on 20…
Think England will make it close, this is probably the biggest ask of all our big chases as the pitch is doing more
Kuldeep is tremendously unlucky that Jadeja and Washington have been two of India’s best players this series, and even so possibly still should have got a go. Axar, Washington, Kuldeep and Jadeja for as long as he lasts is a frightening prospect in home conditions!
