Austin 3:!6 Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) Preview: It will be the final time India and England clash in this 2 month long series. Team India went into this series with lots of expectations but only have T20 series victory to show against its name. Having lost both ODI and Test series, they would like to finish in a high. From a series perspective, this test may be a dead rubber but with test championship upcoming all tests are crucial. India having come close to victory on both Edgbaston and Southampton tests but couldn't get the job done. This was a series lost not because Eng played some brilliant cricket but rather India played poorly. It will also be Alastair Cook's last test and Eng will try their best to give cook a winning farewell. Its also the first time team India will be playing at Oval since the last year's CT debacle. India is expected to make few changes with young Prithvi Shaw may replace Dhawan and Ashwin's injury should make way for Ravi Jadeja. England expected to go unchanged. So can India salvage some pride and make it 3-2 or Cook will get a fitting farewell with 4-1 victory for Eng? Edited September 6, 2018 by Austin 3:!6 UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

UrmiSinhaRay Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 A keeper doing keeping practice. Would you believe it. I get that but if Pant is certainty , why would Dinu do keeping? Sent from my CPH1609 using Tapatalk Link to comment
zen Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 (edited) A dead rubber, so less pressure on both teams. Below are the strengths and weaknesses of Ind based on performances so far: Weaknesses: Openers Rahane - hasn't performed up to expectations esp. being a SENA specialist Spinner - Ashwin or Jadeja, in the larger scheme of things would not matter. Because If Jadeja is not playing, we think he would have done better. If Jadeja was playing, we would have thought Ashwin would have changed things WK - Karthik did poorly. Pant is new so still adjusting to the learning curve Strengths: Kohli - How consistent can be remain Pujara Pandya - Impact player. Won Ind a test Pace bowlers Questions: 6th batsmen, 5th bowler or all-rounder. Again, if 6th batsman was playing, we would have thought the 5th bowler / All-rounder would have been better. If the 5th bowler were playing, we would have thought the 6th batsman / All-rounder would have changed things Anyways, I hope that somehow someone will have an impact game to make it 2-3. And with that Shastri will have the last bark Edited September 6, 2018 by zen UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
The Realist Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Vihari for Pandya Jadeja for Ashwin Are the rumoured team changes. Kohli is due a failure sooner or later and if it happens here could be looking at a sub-200 score. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

beetle Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I hope we see atleast one more debutant in the last one. Pant getting dropped would be mindless and idiotic. Kohlifan, sandsaims and UrmiSinhaRay 2 1 Link to comment
Laaloo Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 Ugh. Pura mood off ho gaya. Was really pumped for this series. Bumrah was a huge miss the first two tests. Shami and ishant are average. We had a great chance to win this time and blew it. So disgusted. UrmiSinhaRay, Lala, sandsaims and 1 other 2 1 1 Link to comment

vvvslaxman Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 I don't care if we win or not. I want to get Sam curan out for single digit assuming cook suddenly doesn't decide o score a 100. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment

UrmiSinhaRay Posted September 6, 2018 Share Posted September 6, 2018 To be fair everyone is saying vihari is making debut. I doubt Shaw will get chance. Jadeja is surely playing for ashwin. Vihari will either replace Pandya or Shami.Everyone is saying doesn't necessarily mean he'll play. Pandya is one player Kohli Is not gonna drop off from Playing XI - Does Vihari provides a bowling option like Pandya? I see Dhawan/Rahul being dropped for Prithvi and maybe Kartik for Pant Sent from my CPH1609 using Tapatalk Link to comment
