*Official* Fifth Test at The Oval

[LegionOfBrad]

No shame getting out to that as a nightwatchman

 

[Spark]

Still, having Siddle take off 7 overs of the new ball is a decent result

 

[LegionOfBrad]

That's an amusingly high quality ball to a night watchman

He played all round it but you want to save them for top 6 batsmen.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Jimmy starting to hoop it.

 

[Riggins]

Yeah Benchy's reaction will be great if Siddle manages to make a debut hundred batting in the top 6 when he wanted him batting 11 earlier in the series when we had the long tail.

yeah. maybe next time.

 

[NUFAN]

Yep Siddle did his job for sure. Its good conditions for bowling today, I hope it remains that way for England's innings.

 

[Spark]

He played all round it but you want to save them for top 6 batsmen.

Yeah it's just not worth worrying about what shot Siddle plays. He's getting bowled by that every single time.

 

[91Jmay]

Broad needs to pitch it up. Ball moving now though, conditions better for bowling. Watson's knock could end up being the difference here.

 

[Cabinet96]

Massive day for Woakes this. Much more his type of bowling conditions.

 

[91Jmay]

Broad off after this over unless he pitches it up. Wasting the new ball.

 

[91Jmay]

Some swing there for Woakes.

 

[Spark]

clarke'd

 

[91Jmay]

The nip backer nad trapper. Woakes needs to get a few to hold there line now and the slips could be in business.

 

[Spark]

that's a nonsensically good ball

 

[King Pietersen]

How do you play that? Broad seriously unlucky again. Deserves a haul today.

 

[Spark]

played it well, tbf. covered the stumps as best he could, didn't push with his hands.

 

[Spikey]

How do you play that? Broad seriously unlucky again. Deserves a haul today.

it's like you guys have never heard of the slog sweep

 

[91Jmay]

Why does Broad bowl anything thats not full with the occasional short one. Back of a length stuff is useless.

Nice shot, poor fielding from Pietersen though.

 

[Cabinet96]

Why does Broad bowl anything thats not full with the occasional short one. Back of a length stuff is useless.

Because being Glenn McGrath is hard.

 

[Daemon]

Has Haddin been good behind the wickets or is Warne talking ****?
