***Official*** 4th Test @ The Oval, London - 2nd-6th September

[Teja.]

Rohit you beautiful boy

 

[Shri]

poo's running speed no difference with or without injury

 

[Aritro]

Che, Tesh, Jar, even War.... so many single syllable nicknames were possible, and yet...

 

[Spark]

Don't think it's the running speed which is the issue tbf

 

[Spark]

That is a class shot.

 

[Teja.]

That is a class shot.

Yes, 2015 Pujara played shots like that. Great to see.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Overton about to tell Pujara to go back to India.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

Overton has been largely unimpressive

 

[Teja.]

Puji playing more fluently than I've seen him play for years. These shots.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

sehwag esque

 

[Arachnodouche]

Moeen getting some nice drift.

He's dragging Rohit out on the drive though. Expect Rohit to try something expansive soon. Might come off, might get out.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Need these two to put on 150 and then for the other losers to somehow scrape out another 200 between them. A long and improbable road.

Oh sweet Jesus, would you like Scarlett Johansson to knock on your door later also?

Won't turn her away. But at 149/1, I'm going to assume KL just got out. Job half done.

 

[GIMH]

Hmmm, might be time for a rain dance

 

[Arachnodouche]

That catcher at short mid-on is a good one for Rohit who's been very keen on driving down the ground even on the up.

 

[Teja.]

That Azhar quote from Harsha was gold.

"Why do off-spinners exist in this game? So that batsmen can score 4 an over without taking any risks."

 

[slippy888]

250 target will be enough for India

 

[duffer]

What are the odds?

"Why do off-spinners exist in this game? So that batsmen can score 4 an over without taking any risks."

Such a violent destroyer of spin.
