*Official* Fourth Test at The Oval

[hazsa19]

wtf happened there!

 

[Neil Pickup]

Good job Sehwag caught that, as Dhoni was off down the leg side again...

 

[GIMH]

Broad needs to bat or bowl well or Pietersen might steal MOTS from him

You can see we're in a right battle when I'm thinking about that on day two of the last Test

I don't think I've ever seen us make any team look so hapless as this one. Gone to the summit in style, whatever happens from here.

 

[Sam Handwich]

Good job Sehwag caught that, as Dhoni was off down the leg side again...

Yeah, in the context of the match it was pretty significant.

 

[marc71178]

I reckon we should just aim to bat for the whole match for a laugh

Definitely not, I've £150 on 4-0.

 

[Themer]

Definitely not, I've £150 on 4-0.

I've got £70 on an England win as well so I don't want them to take the piss just yet.

 

[hazsa19]

Best shot in cricket that

 

[four_or_six]

Definitely not, I've £150 on 4-0.

I didn't lay the 3-1 I had from the beginning of the aeries when I could have because I was sure India would come good in one match. So annoying.

 

[Themer]

This is too good from KP. Mishra can't keep him quiet even with that legside line now, shackles off completely. Is it a 7pm finish?

If so I want 450 by then.

 

[Jacknife]

KP feasting on some leg spin, hammering Mishra.

 

[Themer]

India have completely lost it again, what was that Laxman? Seriously kids stuff, I'd even be annoyed at a kids team to be honest.

 

[GIMH]

It is a 7pm close but cut-off is 7.30 so they should get all the overs in

 

[Jacknife]

150 up for KP,he's absolutely smashed it this last hour or so, similarities to 2005 Ashes in the way he's played his shots.

And now it's Belly's turn 150 up.

 

[grecian]

Gatting-Fowler, all over again here.

 

[salman85]

Just wondering.England are 3-0 up.Have put 350 on the board.Why not declare now,and have a go at India before the end of the day?

Right now they're probably going for a big ass 500 plus score to bat India completely out of the game,but because of the loss of play on the 1st day,declaring right now would be a good bold move.England have nothing to lose anyway,so some testicular fortitude would be nice.

 

[four_or_six]

Nah, bat now in the sun, may as well take the runs now and stick them in once we've got 600.

Great to see Bell get the number 3 monkey off his back this summer. An unexpected plus.

 

[Howe_zat]

What's the most runs KP has scored in a series since 05? Is he close to beating it? IIRC. he always used to only come good in a match or two every series at his peak.

 

[Jacknife]

Nah, bat once, bat big and try to bowl the Indians out twice.

Switch hit by KP, he hit that very very hard, top shot.

 

[Themer]

It is a 7pm close but cut-off is 7.30 so they should get all the overs in

Might want 475 by close then the way its going at the moment.

That's a helluva switch hit.
