*Official* Fifth Test at The Oval

[tooextracool]

Big No-ball on the Strauss wicket, another piece of poor umpiring to add to the series tally.

 

[pup11]

Clarke's been spineless for no real fault of his. Ball is just dying off the pitch.

What..?

 

[Pratters]

What..?

He hasn't been a threat at all as balls have died after pitching.

 

[Woodster]

It was a huge no-ball for Strauss' wicket, amazed that was not detected.

 

[tooextracool]

Need to stop with the constant correcting of the mis-spelling of Clark/Clarke. It certainly gets annoying after a while, especially when everyone knows what he was referring to.

 

[Woodster]

You missed out the inexplicably missing/wafting at a nothing delivery. Ones that just shave past the stumps and ones wide outside off.

Inexplicably ? It was a loose shot, seemingly one he lost through the air, should have put it away and was very close to being bowled. Think they call it a mis-judgement, it is not entirely unheard of tbh.

He hasn't bowled yet.

Sorry!

 

[Top_Cat]

Still feel like Bell isn't safe, like a bad shot could come at any moment.

 

[Jakester1288]

Johnson will turn to rubbish now after that.

 

[Top_Cat]

Far out, the outfield has been lightning today. So many pushed drives for 4.

 

[tooextracool]

Johnson will turn to rubbish now after that.

Its hardly like he' been brilliant before that tbf. Johnson without swing is a very ordinary bowler, we've seen it time and time again.

 

[Athlai]

Bell for MOTM.

 

[Pratters]

Hilfenhaus to get Bell this over.

 

[tooextracool]

Bell for MOTM.

If Bell doesn't get at least 100 here, it will be worse than any of his other failures this series.

I think it was a reference to the confusing wording rather than the spelling of Clark's name tbh

 

[Pratters]

Hilfenhaus to get Bell this over.

Meh.

 

[pup11]

This is what I love about Hilf, can string together a lot of overs in a spell and still bowl accurately at a good pace, and unlike other genuine swing bowlers, he doesn't completely rely on the ball to swing in order to be effective.

Why would using spineless be wrong? I clearly did mention for no fault of his own.

 

[Jakester1288]

I'm tired as. Bloody sleeping patterns.

Now I go England will be bundled out and Australia will be batting, no more than 2 wickets down at stumps.
