England vs India (fourth test) The Oval


Isn't that more because India has decent seamers these days?

That's right. India have got a pretty adaptable squad for most conditions now - I think if we’d had more of our first choice attack available we would have shaded it on these pitches though. Overton has looked seriously found out at the Oval. He’s nowhere near the Aussie tour. And less said about our top and middle order the better.
 
India got
Draw 2-2 and get humped 4 or 5 nowt again off Australia. Get in.

My team's Durham, England always a bit too associated with FTECB to be relatable.

What’s this got to do with Australia?

I want England to win
God knows what it will look like at Old Trafford. Anderson and Robinson need a rest, Wood can obviously play and then maybe Mahmood? Unless we play 2 spinners

mahmood and Carse not fit I don’t think

who else?

wood n Curran fit

Parkinson or leach?

genuinely can’t think

we’ve missed some top players
Lost this in the 1st innings 400-450 was the minimum we should have got, India batted properly 2nd time around and then today is another example of Batsman not being good enough and Bumrah taking the pitch out of the equation

Defs first innings cost us

Wood definitely plays but I wish we could find some decent batsman for Root

If they don’t fancy Leach I’d give Parkinson a game. Not sure it was a great choice making Ali vice captain, I can’t really see him playing much more test cricket for England

yeah

he’s not gonna play much red ball cricket in prep and he’s looked short, understandably

they missed a trick not giving leach the summer
 
Btw they added 140 for their last 4 wickets

that looks the difference

India winning both games in London no surprise

we don’t help ourselves
