*Official* Fifth Test at The Oval

[Naumaan]

Our bowlers might want to take note of what Stuart Broad said yesterday, i.e he bowled at the top of off-stump. Probably worth a try And preferably not a right-hander's off-stump when a left-hander is facing.

lol, that's what we say about pakistani bowlers :d

 

[Naumaan]

finally a boundry, although it's a leg bye

Clark on. Bowling for his test career you'd reckon.

Interesting position for someone averaging 23 to be in.

 

[GIMH]

niiiiiiice

True, it does seem harsh on the face of it, but 33 and looking 4th/4 seamers on display. Well, 4th/5 if one counts Watson, but I don't.

 

[Jamee999]

I think if we didn't score another run, we'll still be favourites.

 

[kingkallis]

Lead 250 over now...

100 more runs and that will be it!

 

[Burgey]

if eng can manage 150 in 2nd innings game over
on the other hand australia need to bowl eng out inside 150 to have a chance

So if England make 150 it's game over, but if they make 150 Australia have a chance?

probably u r rite but still it's cricket

TBF "inside 150" implies less than 150 to my reading. So we get 150 and we win, but 149 and it's fasten those seatbelts.

Should declare then.

lol

 

[kingkallis]

So far so good...

If Strauss and Trott can take England around 300 then Freddie, Prior, Broad, Swann can go for some quick runs...350+ will be safe I guess!

 

[BoyBrumby]

Trott's cut not the best, is it? Seems to under-edge a heck of a lot of them.

 

[Jamee999]

I wonder how much the value of those flats will drop once their view of the ground is taken away

 

[Top_Cat]

Yep, Strauss killing the game by not declaring right now with only 3 days left to win the match. Bad for Test cricket.

Like Stuart Clark's bowling right now. If the ball does something out of the footmarks, he might get a wicket. If not, they still can't get him away and he might bore them into a loose shot.

 

[Burgey]

oops 250*

cheers.

God, what about the bloke in the spacesuit? How hot would that be? Helmet looks like Tony Greig's circa 1978.

I'm not really into that sorta thing, mate, but, you know - whatever floats your boat...

Just realised who Trott reminds me of; a combo of Graeme Thorpe and Steve Waugh. Especially Waugh.
