Curran's just saved England. Again.

Curran's just saved England. Again.

Not if they rack up anything over 400 he hasn’t

 

[Spurs_Bear]

Just got back from the Oval.

Stoneman scored 144. England could give him a go.

Ian Bell is 200*. Never heard of him.

It's not working out for the cod-faced captain.

 

[Nav420]

Looks like that pitch has got a lot easier to bat on as well... Doesn't bode well for tomorrow! Credit to the India seamers for a fine display of bowling today but Root just has to give the captaincy up, the whole top order needs to be reevaluated and changed!

Just finished watching the Cricket Debate and Dominic Cork admitted there is absolutely no upcoming talent that is ready to take these guys places in the team!

 

[Archibald&Crooks]

This tinkering with the field every single ball needs to be stopped, it’s getting beyond ridiculous now and it’s slowing the game down way too much.

Why was Cooky wearing Root’s shirt?

 

[Arnoldtoo]

Why was Cooky wearing Root’s shirt?

So that the Indian bowlers would think they were bowling to Root, and stray down the leg side, where Cook is at his best.

What odds England are at least 4 down at lunch?

 

[Arnoldtoo]

Keaton you dozy ****.

More charitably; unlucky mate. But 36 won't be enough to save you.

 

[dondo]

Curran looks a proper batsman is wasted at 8. England could field a whole team of bowlers and score more run than we do recently ?

 

[Anurag Jo]

Another exciting day of test cricket awaits!

 

[Nav420]

I can't see India chasing a target of 240 plus tomorrow but what a great series its been so far! Credit to India who have always been known as a poor travelling side they've really stood up especially as a blowing attack.

Burns has to come in for Jennings for the final test and I would even go as far as dropping Cook.

 

[Buggsy61]

We are still in with a really good shout. Anything around 275 will be difficult to chase and Moen amd Adil must be looking forward to bowling on that surface.
I think we have been fortunate in that Ashwin does not look nearly enough fit and its obviously affected his bowling.

My team for the final test.
Plenty of bowling options and on par batting wise with this team ?

 

[Arnoldtoo]

My first prediction of the day: stand between Broad & Curren 3 balls, 0 runs.

Please make me look ridiculously pessimistic.

 

[dondo]

Well done broad ?
He used to be decent with the bat, he is a walking wicket now days

My first prediction of the day: stand between Broad & Curren 3 balls, 0 runs.

1 ball

Fuck me sideways.
