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

    I'm normally okay - it is just this series (India Vs England, in England) that brings these emotions in me.

    Great - a nice hard ball for Woakes to hit for fours and sixes.

    Plays beyond his ability. Has already won us a Test with bat and ball.

    Nah they were all outplayed. Even Pant's dismissal was because he is incapable of defending the moving ball - as shown by the drop.

    Still is, tbh.

    In all seriousness, there are so many reasons in which I should never gamble. Poor judgement not even being the strongest.

    Feels that England's batsmen are gifting the wickets (Pope, Moeen, Hameed, Burns) whereas India just aren't good enough. The former feels like it can be resolved on the right day, the latter is more long-term.

    Massive disagree. They just find a way to edge anything that moves. Just incapable against any decent seam bowling. People will come in and say England had good bowling conditions but it is just incompetent batting from a team that don't know where is their off stump or how to score at more than...

    Assuming I had some to begin with. C'mon though - you know the chances of India responding to this by scoring 400 are close to 0.

    Pitch-wise, they worked out the importance of preparing a flat pitch. Because India's ability to get themselves into a mess on a flat pitch is far more than England's.

    100 deficit is as much optimism as you will get from me - just as much chance England will go to 400+.

    This is it - some fight from England and also making the most of things when conditions are good. Pujara and Rahane would make 30 runs in 15 overs in ideal conditions whereas England made 80-odd.

    But this Test is 100% over. England will get a c. 100 lead and run through India - that much is borderline predetermined given how excellent Jimmy, Robinson and Woakes are and how awful India's middle and lower order are.

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

    Yes, this. It just feels unlikely that someone like Vihari or Agarwal or Shaw or SKY would have got runs in that first innings.

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

    This is crazy. England cut through our batting like a knife, time and time again.

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

    Yes agreed most of them shouldn't be here.

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

    This is true but more of a problem with squad selection and abandoning all FC cricket last year.

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

    The bowling makes up for the batting - all the pacers have taken important wickets this series. And also, there is no evidence that any of the new batsmen will out bat Jadeja.

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

    Yes - or at least consider that this is something one could do.

    Is filth.
