England vs India | 4th Test | The Oval | Aug 18-22 | Day 4

[velu]

cricbuzz guys too pissed off

Swann to Tendulkar, 1 run, a useless stat, if you are a stats buff: Sachin Tendulkar has reached 33,000 runs in International Cricket with a tuck off the pads.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Bhogle turned into a whiner like Shastri and Sunil

 

[SID_ZONE]

Man I feel sorry for Dravid, he got a bad decision in the last match as well

Tha was fully his fault, should have reviewed when he wasn't 100% sure of nicking.

 

[Sledger]

Enough of Bresnan already.

4.

 

[JibranAnsari]

this is gona be 250 runs partnership

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

four

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

england needs to get atleast one more wicket today

 

[IAJ]

The wicket is really flat now! Will be tough for England seamers, Swann needs to take the 5-6 wickets in this innings.

 

[Sledger]

81/2.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Tha was fully his fault, should have reviewed when he wasn't 100% sure of nicking.

Can't blame him, he asked and his partner said he hit it, he trusted his partner. I blame the umpire and his partner.

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

81/2

 

[Sledger]

Laxman drives for four.

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

:4

 

[Sledger]

Beautiful ball! Inside edged to fine leg for four.

 

[MRSN]

how did that miss the stumps?

 

[SID_ZONE]

The wicket is really flat now! Will be tough for England seamers, Swann needs to take the 5-6 wickets in this innings.

Plenty of purchase for spinner, still bouncy..not that easy to bat as you say.

 

[IAJ]

Boundaries are coming in a hurry here, though lucky ones

 

[Sledger]

He's hitting the inside edge 2-3 balls per over.

 

[MRSN]

Laxman is lucky to be out there.

 

[Sledger]

Shorter length, easily defended. 93/2.

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

93/2

 

[Sledger]

Anderson on.

 

[Sledger]

Single to Tendulkar.

 

[SID_ZONE]

Can't blame him, he asked and his partner said he hit it, he trusted his partner. I blame the umpire and his partner.

His partner told him "heard a loud noise", apparently those at the ground and watching on TV felt the same way (few here at PP may differ since Dravid's partner was well..)

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

Anderson on

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

single

 

[SID_ZONE]

Dropped

 

[Sledger]

Dropped at slip!

 

[shahidafridi123]

 

[MRSN]

poor fielding

 

[SID_ZONE]

Laxman living dangerously..

 

[rajan70]

Strauss is the worst slip fielder.

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

england have dropped too many catches in this series.

 

[Sledger]

96/2..

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

Strauss has had one of the worst fielding series I've ever seen. He's dropped almost everything that's come his way. :

 

[SID_ZONE]

I can sense a biggie coming from Laxman and Harsha saying "he started off scratchily"

 

[Sledger]

Tendulkar trying to get off strike.

 

[Sledger]

To short, put away for four.

 

[SID_ZONE]

Well manufactured shot Sach!

 

[Sledger]

A leg-spinner would have been good to watch on here.. to bad neither team has one.

 

[Sledger]

Good drive for two, got to the pitch.

 

[SID_ZONE]

I like it! play like the great batsman you're..runs will flow automatically.

 

[Sledger]

Setting him up for the outswinger, it seems.

 

[Sledger]

Maiden. 102/2.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Strauss has dropped more than 3 slip catches this series if i remember correctly :kami

 

[SID_ZONE]

Shot Sachin!

 

[Sledger]

Cut for three.

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

only 189 more needed to avoid inning defeat

a wicket is needed quickly before close of play

 

[Sledger]

Leg-byes given. England thought it was bat.

 

[Sledger]

107/2, another good over.

 

[SID_ZONE]

I don't care how many runs paddle sweeps brings for Sachin, I hate seeing him play far too often.

 

[NJamal]

107/2

 

[NJamal]

Andreson back into attack

 

[NJamal]

by Teenda

 

[SID_ZONE]

Beautifully glided by Sachin..four

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

 

[Sledger]

Guided through third man for four. Tendulkar looking very fluent now.

 

[Sledger]

Outside the line?

 

[SID_ZONE]

These bloddy poms appealing for all and sundry!

 

[Sledger]

Too high anyway.

 

[Sledger]

Great shot! Four.

 

[SID_ZONE]

Shot! Master at work!!

 

[NJamal]

through covers by Teenda

 

[NJamal]

115/2

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

four

 

[ShahidAfridi_rulez]

115/2

 

[SID_ZONE]

haha Nasser over excited there

 

[Fireworks11]

Should be a good day tomorrow.

 

[SID_ZONE]

SHut up Sunny

 

[Sledger]

118/2.

 

[Fireworks11]

England will want to snare a wicket now.

 

[Ruri]

Rain not forecast till halfway through post tea. Enough time left in the game. One more before close would be nice.

 

[SID_ZONE]

Sachin now easily negotiating Swann threat..getting to pitch off the ball most of the time.

 

[Sledger]

6 overs to go. Try Pietersen.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

SHut up Sunny

Trying his best to jinx

Don't worry only Ganguly can get him out

 

[Sledger]

Laxman cleaned up. )

 

[Ruri]

6 overs to go. Try Pietersen.

Not when Jimmy is on song!

 

[SID_ZONE]

Well bowled

 

[NJamal]

Laxman Clean bowled

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Laxman gone ball

hahahahahhahaha
