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

GIMH

Norwood's on Fire
I feel some English posters are gloating rather prematurely here. :)
Ha, fair point, tbf with my 2014 reference it was more in terms of India falling apart after a great win. Plenty of distance to travel yet ofc.

If we win this Test I reckon we take the series though, I'll make that call.

An interesting question on that - India V England is usually two different trophies, right? In England it is the Pataudi Trophy and in India, its the De Mel or whatever Trophy. So if the series does end 2-2, do England retain the trophy as they are technically the holders of the Pataudi Trophy, even though the actual rubber is with India?

If anything is tied we get the trophy by default.

Yeah, that was brain dead there from Pant. Its fine to try things, but you gotta understand what the field is and what the bowler is trying.

Ah crap.. even putting up 150 in a first innings seems like an effort for this lot. We get 250 here, we are in the game. Even 200 is a serviceable score but no, we have to collapse when the sun is out to 150. Damn.
