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

[NJamal]

Will Teenda score his 100th 100 in the last innings of Test here in England?

 

[NJamal]

Strauss had enforced follow on.

 

[NJamal]

Dravid & Sehwag to open again.

 

[NJamal]

by Sehwag, slogging already

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Dravid opening again, Gambhir is such a wimp

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

Eh, Morgan misfields. I really hope Ravi takes his place in tests. *Random rant ends.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

:4 :4 sehwag on fire

 

[RWAC]

Dravid. I feel for him man. Lone guy fighting the battle. Bats throughout. And again comes out to open. And worse of all, he wouldn't be made a hero for this unlike if a certain Sehwag or Tendulkar had done that. Doing such a thankless job. Gives me the feeling of this worker who keeps his head down and does his best day in and day out and never gets noticed. You are a true champion sir. Respect.

 

[NJamal]

19/0

 

[NJamal]

Sehwag will score a quickfire 50 here and will be welcomed back home as a champion.

 

[NJamal]

23/0

 

[NJamal]

25/0

 

[IAJ]

If England can get 2-3 wickets today before close they will win tomorrow.

 

[NJamal]

Maiden by Broad- 25/0 Tea day 4.

This is actually the first real interesting test of the series sadly. India actually have a real chance to draw this. They're making England work a lot harder to pull of the win. Course that might be only due to the amount of time lost by rain, but even still. There's a lot more fight by the bowlers in this test (despite just not being very good).

 

[Sledger]

And worse of all, he wouldn't be made a hero for this unlike if a certain Sehwag or Tendulkar had done that.

This is very true, unfortunate, but I think a lot of opposition players/pundits consider him the key wicket in test cricket.

 

[Noman]

Why not extra over today`? so much time lost?? because of rain?

 

[NJamal]

The players come out

 

[Sledger]

Dravid might keep two wickets in tact all day.. (and match) lol.

 

[Sledger]

Swann to bowl! I guess he needs to rest his fast bowlers.

 

[NJamal]

Swann into attack

 

[Sledger]

Sehwag will probably try to hit him out of the attack.

 

[RWAC]

Swann to bowl! I guess he needs to rest his fast bowlers.

I think it's a gamble to get Sehwag out.

 

[Sledger]

Dravid gone but reviewed!

 

[NJamal]

Review by Dravid

 

[RWAC]

No no nooo nooo....

EDIT: YESS!!!!! Dravid is SAFE!

 

[NJamal]

Not OUT

 

[Sledger]

No edge, Dravid still keeps his wicket lol.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Not out, Rod Tucker terrible umpire. Not surprised

 

[Sledger]

Sehwag cuts for one.

 

[NJamal]

27/0

 

[Sledger]

Broad will come from the other end.

 

[Sledger]

Ball isn't carrying much this over.

 

[Sledger]

Broad down on pace, understandable.

Maiden over.

 

[Sledger]

4 byes, beats Prior and Dravid.

 

[Sledger]

Dropped! He nicked it.

 

[NJamal]

Missed by Prior

 

[Sledger]

Rod Tucker is a terrible umpire.

 

[NJamal]

31/0

 

[Sledger]

Great over. 31/0.

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Anyone remember when was india white washed last time
Or numberone test team got white washed?

 

[mithun_minhas]

I think they got white washed in NZL, Aus and SAF before. This is in the last 15yrs.

 

[Sledger]

Good play by Sehwag, much better to try and see off the first few spells. This wicket is very flat and he can cash in later.

 

[NJamal]

33/0

 

[duostyle]

I think India can save this.

 

[Sledger]

Four to Sehwag.

 

[Sledger]

Four more.

 

[NJamal]

43/0

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Prior not doing so well today

 

[Vegitto1]

Sanjay manjraker talking from his backside that shewag inspires Dravid

 

[Sledger]

43/0.

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

Sehwag crying. If you can't bat, go off the field.

 

[Sledger]

LOL @ Ganguly.

"People were telling me in my ears not to pick him"

 

[Tapori]

Sanjay manjraker talking from his backside that shewag inspires Dravid

True; Dravid could not giving a flying fig.

 

[Ashraful_Rox]

Need to pick at least 5 wickets today

 

[Sledger]

Four to Dravid, hit straight.

 

[Sledger]

48/0.

 

[NJamal]

by Dravid

 

[NJamal]

Good fielding by Broad

 

[NJamal]

Review time

 

[Sledger]

Reviewed, could be gone.

 

[NJamal]

Its OUT

 

[Sledger]

Out given!

Finally.

 

[duostyle]

Whatttttt?

 

[NJamal]

Dravid gone

 

[NJamal]

49/1

 

[Ruri]

Oh thank god. Excellent by Dravid, but now we're into the tail.

 

[Sledger]

Great player out for 13, but he's done his batting for this test. Someone else should stand up.

 

[ShaunMarshRules]

On second thought , I was seeing things. Horrible umpiring from Davies. Poor, rubbish decision. Awful. Prejudiced. Stupid. Do a Bucknor on Davies, BCCI,

 

[MRSN]

big wicket this for England.

 

[Fireworks11]

Massive wicket for England.

 

[Tapori]

Bless him - He did what he could.

Iron Man.

 

[mithun_minhas]

Third Umpire

This is the only way Wall was going to be out.... Horrendous decision

 

[talha3]

I thought it was out on first replay, but after that I was convinced it's not out. Still don't think it's out.

 

[VolcanicAsh]

Horrible decision! How you can give that out is beyond me.

 

[NJamal]

Laxman comes to bat

 

[AlizeeFan]

Was that out?

 

[James]

Argh, can't tell.

Hopefully it was the right decision or else we have been wrongly denied some more Dravid

 

[duostyle]

I could see a white flicker on hotspot.

Mmm. I need to check replays.

 

[Sledger]

Tendul... Laxman in at three.
