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

[Shunya]

yaar bas karo yeh Pandya pandya...kuch zyada hi ho gaya discussion ...repetitive ho raha hai ab har thread mein...

 

game dekho yaar...exciting passage coming up... Also, Cook's last inning

He need to score 50 runs in last innings to end with Career average of 45. 

Also, he needs 75 runs in his last innings to clear Sangakkara and reach TOP 5 all time scorer at 12,400.

 

Wish he breaches that. Only opener in the list to reach here. Great career

their are some days u get wkts on crap and some days when peach of deliveries keep missing the bat 

i feel ishant used to bowl similar balls in 2014-15 and used to look like might get edge now and then but used to be wicketless most of the time.

[zen]

copy and paste from another thread:

 

"Unfortunately, Rahane's inconsistency in SENA where he is supposed to be our 2nd (if not first as Kohli had a bad record in Eng before this series), put a lot of pressure on youngsters such as Pant and Pandya. Pant kept better than Karthik, while Pandya won as a match with the ball and scored a good 50. Instead of appreciating their good work in their first overseas season, we have to had to unrealistically bank of them to perform like experienced veterans and win games for India .... They could still do that in home conditions but to expect them to do that on consistent basis in SENA in their first season was always going to be difficult .... we should have realistic expectations from our youngsters. Even Tendulkar did not shoulder such burden in his first few series. The seniors and fans at time handled him relatively better "

Sangakkara

Yup, I hate Sanga.

[Nikola]

We need quick fifer from someone if we have to stay alive in this test.

[goose]

if Pandya was a better bowler, he would be called a bowler. 

[zen]

We need a spell like the one below:

 

 

[Kothili]

Three cheers to young Hanuma Vihari who showed some grit and determination. Way better than some of our superstars.

[Nikola]

Dude wtf the way kohli takes review it's like he is asking umpire if i should take review or not and i am totally confused...

[zen]

The 2000s was probably our best decade in terms of overseas performance

[Shunya]

Dumb from Pant and Jaddu...that was bad review

[express bowling]

Another very poor review ....  and review lost

[putrevus]

another poor review which was not needed at all.Kohli is useless with reviews.

[wanted_desi]

That was such a poor review. 

[Nikola]

Kohli like begs and says idk let's gamble with his body language while taking review.

[Kothili]

Bumrah, Ishant and Shami need to be sent to a batting (concentration) camp on quarter rations. They have zero contribution with the bat. I understand they are specialist bowlers but it is preposterous to defend them. They need to have decent batting skills and contribute minimum 40-50 runs consistently together.

[zen]

Is it time to make Jennings a hero?

[Shunya]

 Pant...why is he laughing?

 

Kohli almost killed Pant with his eyes...lol

Worst keeping by Pant. Kick this kid out. Horrible keeping. Give Samson a chance instead.
