*Official* Fourth Test at The Oval

[Zinzan]

Hey Scaly, I've been meaning to ask you, do you still reckon Jimmy's a prank bowler that's only any good in perfect bowling conditions?

 

[Flem274*]

India should give Atul Sharma a call up.

 

[Zinzan]

Wasn't there some freakish young Indian left-armer who bowled close to 150 clicks & got a 9-fer on his FC debut a year or so ago?

Deepak Chahar? He's a right arm medium pacer.

Complete h4x on ICC 2011 as well.

 

[MW1304]

Got into Leicester and the cricket's on. Not a bad day so far.

 

[Cevno]

Still young and developing @ Deepak Chahar.

Can swing it really big though.

 

[Cevno]

Is that Vinay Kumar in the India A side any good?

Has a pretty good FC record but is more reliant on his nous and cleverness rather than any particular menacing attributes to take wickets.

Reckon he'll be a solid bowler but not one who will blow batting lineup apart in Tests.

 

[Manee]

I think he is excellent, but he is not rated by many because he bowls at 125kph.

 

[Jayzamann]

Nicely cut.

 

[Manee]

On Cricinfo, people are moaning about the lack of 90mph bowlers. That is not the issue. We got into this mess by selecting people like Sreesanth who have the ability to bowl quick. The key is to pick bowlers who are GOOD.

India could do with some solid if unspectacular bowlers instead of what they usually pick.

 

[Spark]

This is some fairly friendly stuff being served up here...

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

Non-diplomatic translation: what a load of ****e from India

 

[Zinzan]

Would it be stretching it to suggest Strauss & Cook would face tougher bowling in most of the games they play for their respective County sides?

Well...

...yeah.

I'm struggling to recall a start to a Test in bowler-friendly conditions having such a low intensity.

Hey, that's something!

 

[_Ed_]

Haha, that was spectacular.

 

[turnstyle]

Looks a bit like Katman with that new lid.

 

[GIMH]

Whoa, where did that come from? Good stuff from Ishant

 

[Z-Man]

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