LOL Poms angry and upset cause they wanted to call it a game with an hour left of play and Indian bats on 80 and 89

They got their tons after another 15min - hahahahahahahahahaha

I like the last sentence of the article I posted LOL




Ben Duckett asked sarcastically how much of the last hour Ravindra Jadeja, 89 not out, and Washington Sundar, on 80, would need for their centuries. Zak Crawley, cutting right to the chase, called it "embarrassing".

It turns out all they needed was about 15 minutes. Ben Stokes, eventually, had his offer to shake hands on his first non-rain-affected draw accepted. And though those 15 minutes made this formality much colder, neither Jadeja nor Sundar cared. Likewise the crowd, now predominantly Indian, who had stuck around for the cherry on top of this impressively composed rearguard from their heroes.

India cannot win this series now, but Gill could offer a similar view of the sour attitude displayed by England in the dregs of day five. They fought hard and ended up rattling an opponent who had hitherto dominated this Test match. As understandably frustrated the hosts were at being kept on the field for - eventually - 143 overs, India may well view those frayed tempers, which exacerbate the tired bodies, as an extra advantage going into the final Test. Getting out of the series with a 2-2 scoreline would make this a successful tour.

If England were irked by Jadeja's milestone hunting, they could have just dismissed him first ball. Jofra Archer got one to lift and take the left-hander's edge, but Joe Root missed two attempts to claim it at first slip.

You know you've made a fool of yourself when the rest of the cricket world takes India's side on something. This current England team seems incapable of going even one test without talking or acting like arrogant tossers.

Imagine carrying on like a pack of dickheads because the other cricket team wants to play cricket. India should have batted the whole hour out.

Ben Stokes is a special kind of unlikeable. Managed to get India, Pakistan and Australia to unite in mocking him. Wonder if they’ll offer up their usual surrender down here.

India should have f***king declared with 15 mins left and made the pricks come out and face 2 overs.

I doubt they’d have bothered. I think at that stage the umpire calls the game. But getting Brook and co on to toss up slop was embarrassing. As the grade cricketer boys said, don’t order a road and get mad when others want to go for a drive.

I’d imagine the Oval will be one of the biggest highways in test cricket history.
