***Official*** India in England 2014

That's a weak looking dismissal. Through the shot far too early.

 

[GIMH]

It's not tea on the second day, weather is fine. No real advantages in an early declaration that I can see. Pitch looks good, hope as time goes by it will spin, which is traditional at the Oval.

Moeen to spin 'em out for a nice innings win.

Mind you things can change....

haha I just want it to end tomorrow so I can watch us wrap things up

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Wow that was a gift.

 

[harsh.ag]

If MoTS to be defines as the player who had the maximum impact on the series, Virat Kohli takes it by a mile. No-show impact.

 

[Furball]

Not to sound like Shane Warne but part of me would like to see the RR upped so we can declare tonight or early tomorrow

I'm not a fan of declaring when it's unneccesary. And leading a series 2-1 in the final Test definitely falls into this category*

*I'm not advocating batting until the end of day 5, but if the opportunity's there to cash in and fill your boots then go for it.

 

[Howe_zat]

WHEN DO WE DECLARE HEY >.>

z

 

[GIMH]

We won't need to declare at this rate

 

[91Jmay]

Cracking ball from Ishant but poor from Ballance before, need another partnership now.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Nice collapse this, just when we were thinking the game was almost safe and getting ****y we get sloppy.

 

[harsh.ag]

Nice delivery

 

[andmark]

Hopefully England collapse to actually make this game competitive.

 

[Adders]

WTF was that??

 

[G.I.Joe]

MOTS?

England- Anderson or Ballance but as coach fat man gets to pick and he's a vindictive piece of **** then my money is on Ballance

India - Dhoni?

Yeah, barring a Bhuvi/Ishant miracle it has to be Dhoni for his batting and his captaincy in the Lords Test.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

WTF was that?

 

[harsh.ag]

Ishant

 

[Furball]

Am I seeing things or is Ishant swinging it?

 

[GIMH]

WTF was that?

That was Ishant Sharma

 

[GIMH]

Would love to see Moeen get a big score here

 

[BoyBrumby]

Huh. I go for a work out and a shower and we lose three wickets. What gives?

Hmm, Moeen looking discomforted by a short-ish one again. Needs to learn how to duck and/or sway, the beard.

 

[91Jmay]

Good pace to this partnership so far, wrenching the momentum back quickly.
