England vs India, 5th Test, 7th-11th Sept - The Oval

[zen]

"Jadeja to Cook, FOUR runs, crunched through point! This is what Cook does so well, Jadeja could be heard cursing before the ball had even reached him. He knew he'd dragged it down, and he paid the price"

[Lannister]

I can't believe we are letting Cook score 100 in his farewell match.

May be after Cook gets out, things will change for Ind

That 5fer was fluke which he proved the very next test much like his 93.I have all patience for youngsters but not for bits and pieces players who will never get better.

yea let ur batsman 1st get those fluke of 93 and then ill see coz other were even struggling to make 50 runs 

oh so u expect him to take 5fer every game or he cnt have an off game 

Pandya bowled well in 2nd n 3rd test so dnt tell me he was fluke

Even ishant was offcolor in 2nd test

Vijay is done thats why he regressed, captaincy has got nothing with it.

ofcourse it is when u keep players like vijay , rahane on edge for player like rohit n dhawan after minnow bashing it plays a role and yes they themselves are also resposible 

no wonder now complains are coming

And if Ashwin were playing here, Jadeja would have been better 

Jadeja is doing just fine here.Jadeja is doing what  he does best and he has done all thru his career.He becomes redudant on unhelpful pitch not that Ashwin would have done wonders here.Ashwin has more variety that was my point and that variety hurt him last test.

So Jadeja is doing fine by becoming redundant

We should look to play with Bumrah, Ishant & Shami along with Bhuvi as all rounder for aus tour. One spinner Jaddu or Ashwin.

3-1 ahead .... Eng araam se khelo

Yes, if 3 main seamers can't pick wickets, 4th one will be useless. With a specialist bat, we can bat big and at least keep it at 3-1.

thats to give ur bowlers rest 

now bumrah is bowling long spells and in few days he has to go for asia cup 

in 2013-14 we have done the same mistake n broke down Zak for ever and shami pace dropped down in 4 test

No wickets but horrible run rate this

We need to give proper rest to bowler. Aus pitches will be good for batsman so have bowlers who can bowl 18 - 20 overs in day or just go with 4 pacers + one part timer.

Let's play 7 batsmen in that case

 

And Eng can bat for 2 1/2 days .... Curren ki bhi 100 karwe de .... Chances of a draw will increase

Yes, 4-1 looks far worse than 3-1

Does Eng cares about run rate? Would not be better off by batting for 2 or more days when a draw is still a good result for them? .... It is Ind that needs to win to salvage something
