England vs India (fourth test) The Oval

[The Rat]

I think he actually looks capable if he just sticks in and bats properly. Easily has the technique to hang around and support woakes. Not just Chuck his wicket away.

keeps getting out for nothing

I’m just venting

just frustrated mate

Robinson wants flogging for that shot.

even more when you see woakes bat like this

Yeah it’s more frustrating when you can see he can clearly do better. Some of the tail are no hopers but he appears as if he could do more.

He got 40 odd recently

 

[scotch]

Class from Woakes

 

[cooky]

Wouldn’t wish injury on anyone but wouldn’t mind a little tweak for a few days so he couldn’t bowl 2nd innings

I’m quite canny with the cricket rules but not sure re. New Ball

In today’s game India took the new ball after 80.2 overs.

Does that 81st over now count as the first (full) over with the new ball even though only 4 deliveries with that new ball?

 

[Arkle]

Important runs from Woakes here. Lead into the 90s.

 

[Jack Torrance]

Woakes is brilliant

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Class placement , bout time England's lower order irritated someone

 

[dixonsafc]

Kohlis dish after that single

 

[The Rat]

I’m actually more annoyed at the others now seeing woakes do this

we should have the game won

top orders fault to be fair

 

[Jack Torrance]

Brand new ball and they have the fielders on the boundary for Woakes. Root would be slated for it

 

[scotch]

Class from Woakes

He has been for a while now

I'd have snapped your hand off for near enough 100 lead at the start of the day.

But you are right, we could have this as good as sewn up by now if Ali + Robinson had simmered down a bit.

Root, Bairstow, Pope no blame
Ali and malan both did a job in difficult conditions
Burns, hameed, robinson, Overton can be blamed
