*Official* Fifth Test at The Oval

[Furball]

Incredible that Australia got to lunch at 112/1 considering the first hour.

 

[91Jmay]

Great morning for Australia. Looking like a 3 man attack at the moment.

 

[MW1304]

**** this is vintage watson, just when you think he might get dropped he comes out with something like this to sure up his spot in the team for the next series where he will no doubt be complete **** for the entirety

and kerrigan = doherty in 3rd gear

Do you remember Doh's first few overs in Tests? Was pretty good iirc.

Kerrigan makes Imran Tahir look like Shane Warne.

 

[Maximas]

awesome from Aus there, am expecting a situation similar to OT by the end of day 1 now

 

[Top_Cat]

Have no idea why anyone is surprised by Boofer's comments.

 

[91Jmay]

Nothing wrong with Boofs comments really, although they do sound a little bit like a drunken rant which wouldn't surprise me.

I dunno, calling someone a blatant cheat is harsh. Your own house better be spotless and it ain't in his case.

 

[Son Of Coco]

I like the bit where he says "I hope he cries and goes home". Especially as it's a grown man talking about another (medically verified) grown man.

Wasn't Lehmann the one who racially abused a Sri Lankan player?

Anyway, do grown men really talk like that if they're sober?

Kerrigan makes Dawson and Schofield look good, that says it all.

Pigeon - made for Lords.

He's bowled 2 overs for **** sake.

 

[Burgey]

Remember watching the 89 Ashes. The whole England line up was like Watson, the way they went lbw. I think Alderman got 21 lbws that series.

I loved Gooch's answering machine message that year when he stood himself down mid-series

"Hi, you've reached Graham Gooch. I'm out at the moment - probably lbw bowled Terry Alderman. Leave a message and I'll get back to you".

 

[Top_Cat]

Nah, he didn't abuse any player directly. He got out, stormed back into the dressing room and swore using a racial epithet which was loud enough the SL players in the other dressing room heard. Dunno exactly who complained but was fair enough.

Yessss Channel 9 throwing Darryl Kerrigan a bait

[dermo]

i fully expect watson to get run out in the 90s

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Oh come on, they were arguably the worst 2 overs from a specialist England bowler this century. It may have been nerves but there were no revs on the ball at all. I hope and pray he does better in his second spell but that was total plop.

ok this is going a bit far
