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

[andruid]

Probably the last chance for Rohit, Pujara, Kohli, and Rahane (and possibly for Pujara and Rahane to save their test careers) to win a test series in England. Hugely important day for their careers and legacy.

Pujara seems to have rolled up his sleeves and ground his way back into form. How aRahane got picked ahead of Ashwin befuddles me.

This is where England are missing a genuine spinner in Leech

Che Pu's batting with intent and Rohit's lasted more than 150 balls wtf.

It's the hope that gets you.

Moeenalitharan's gonna nab a five-few here, India a/o with a lead around 150, and then Root hits a classy 70* to finish off the game and series. Calling it now.

Should have picked one. I wish they'd just let Moeen bat so he can try bat like he used to

Harsha apparently had the Hobbit at school. Brutal. Quit reading it recently after being about 60% way through. Just cbf with the fatty writing style.

Moeen's dismissal when England were starting to cruise yesterday looks like a big turning point in retrospect.

Feels good to see Rohit finally make something of a Test career. Easily the most talented Indian batsman since Tendulkar.

Instantly plays a semi-paddle sweep reminiscent of Sachin.

It is going to be difficult for him to get one, let alone five.

And India has to lose 9 wickets for 70 runs on a perfect batting deck for this to happen.

None of the above is going to happen. May be Root 70* in a losing cause otherwise he has to hit much more than that to chase the target.

What up with Hameed hairstyle guys

If you go by raw talent KL Rahul seems to be most gifted since Sachin.
Rohit probably a close 2nd

 

[Teja.]

Rohit getting into sicko mode.

 

[Arachnodouche]

Jesus H, that's Lara-majestic.

 

[Teja.]

I would have been elated with 100 (270) from this partnership. 100 (170) is nuts.

 

[slippy888]

Rohit Sharma is the closest thing we will see to Don Bradman

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Root back in comedy review mode today.

 

[slippy888]

pujara gloved that lol

 

[Teja.]

What a century. What a time to get it. What a player. What a moment.

 

[Spark]

That's a fine innings

 

[StephenZA]

How very Rohit. Great ton. For a man who can't play the moving ball seems to do it alright at the moment.

 

[duffer]

Beautiful, beautiful man
