*Official* Fifth Test at The Oval

Yes, Watto! More of that 'playing with the spin' stuff. Much, much better than playing straight/technically perfect. Sometimes you have to play ugly.

Any of the bowlers going to bother turning up today?

Swann back to his normal mode of bowling a rank **** ball each over.

Chill mate, you guys are on the verge of winning back the Ashes and you still bitter!!

 

[pup11]

Jeez Watto, get outside the line of off-stump or something.

My views on Katich = disgusting and wrong.

Watto's problem against the ball moving back in strongly resembles the way Vaughan used to get sometimes i.e. playing slightly across the line. When he plays towards mid-off instead of mid-on, looks far far better.

One slip?

Australia odds of a win 4-1.

Not many people have the courage to be honest about their views like that. Kudos.

Maybe they know something that we don't....

It suggests that the long suffering England fans have placed quite large bets at better odds which has forced the odds down. It's a ridiculous price by any standards. I'll give anyone on the board 1000-1.

I'll take a 10'er on that lol

Swann on at the other end, promptly starts with yet another ****ing pie.

One dollar please.

So how many other England fans are fearing the worst yet? I'm not enjoying this at all.

 

[aussie tragic]

I'm thinking there are 3 Test cricketers we'll not see again after this match

Freddie (retired)
Hussey (dire form for 20 tests)
Clark (aging 4th seamer)

Deffo, sorry, just struggling to see us take 10, considering we look a little insipid and tight. Ponting and Clarke will kill us if we carry on bowling like this

 

[pup11]

Those were pretty close shaves for Kateeshh, should try to play Swann off the backfoot by coming outside the line of off-stump, the wicket is slow enough to allow to do so.

 

[Pizzorno]

I genuinely think Australia will chase them down.It's just typical England to build a nation's hopes up only to throw it away when in a position of complete dominance.

Must be that this is going to be a carbon copy of the crims first dig
