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

[silentstriker]

Need another 40

What in the world for?

 

[Burner]

India huge favourites obviously but there's very little in the pitch for the bowlers. If Root fires and England find someone else to not leave him stranded, this is not impossible.

What in the world for?

Ind scored 345 last time here in 4th innings

 

[silentstriker]

Kohli choosing the ball? 50:50 he overrules Bumrah and picks a poor one.

80:20. “Let me tell you why you need to bowl with this one”.

 

[Jack1]

wtf are you on about

Think he’s right. England could easily collapse on anything, but it’s offering nothing. New ball should do something for a bit, India need to make the most of it

Stop.

look at the number of successful 350+ chases in Test cricket. please stop.

it’a pretty rare even with world class batting lineups.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

After the Ben Stokes Act of 2019 when I said England had zero chance of winning before the chase started, I'll put this at 2%.

 

[GIMH]

Man what I would give for Stokes about now

 

[grecian]

We have little chance, but hate all these stats about what has happened before, in the end pitches hold up much better than they used too, so these statistics are from a bygone age, but we have a **** batting, apart from Root, line-up and India have a good bowling line-up so we won't get close, nowt to do with precedent though.

 

[Shri]

not that burns will focus anyway given how he looks at bowlers

this was in poor taste

didn't know he had vision problems as a kid

i just learned about it through commentary

What does Yadav have against MPL Sports?

I have NFI what they are (broadcaster or sportswear makers the obvious guesses) but he has some white tape over their logo on his shirt.

There might be some number printed for the player but SKY has not debuted yet, so he has taped it, perhaps?

 

[Aritro]

Haseeb Hameed's forearms are astonishing. They're significantly bigger than his biceps.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

The thing with these chases is you can get to 100 for no loss and still get nowhere near it.

 

[Niall]

ominous start by the England openers this. Kohli looks worried understandably.

Sounds like an episode of Ted Lasso that I watched the other night.

[Burner]

Haseeb looks like Popeye the sailor man

 

[sledger]

Feeling pretty confident here tbh

It would need to be the tenth highest 4th innings chase ever or whatever it is

But none of those other teams had a magisterial batsman like Johnny Pie Man Bairstow

More like Olive I reckon
