*Official* Fifth Test at The Oval

[Prince EWS]

Swann coming on now will ruin any slim chance I had of collecting $700 I'd say. Devastating.

 

[Spikey]

good shot selection imo. unlucky starceh

 

[NUFAN]

Swann comes on to bowl to the left handed batsman and gets him out straight away. Surprise, surprise.

Haha what's the bet?

 

[Prince EWS]

What was the bet?

$20 on Ryan Harris to for most series wickets at 34:1, after the first Test was over.

 

[GIMH]

Is today a 7pm cut off or 7pm close so can go until 7.30?

Kids will be chuffed if the latter. Unlucky.

The latter.

5, and I can just tell Swann will take the last two.

But yeah it could still definitely happen, was obviously just hoping Swann wouldn't bowl again this innings though.

 

[Furball]

Pretty sure in the last Ashes England had a policy of not wasting reviews on Smith because he was crap.

Now he's got everyone on the fence.

Whoever thought England would employ 10 sweepers against Smith on an overcast day of a Test at the Oval? Not me. #ashes

i did

 

[GIMH]

This field is depressing

 

[NUFAN]

Madness captaincy. Why would you keep all 9 fielders back on the last ball of the over to Smith.

 

[91Jmay]

So we got 1 hour 40 left with the innings change over. If Australia give Lyon a few they could get 25 overs in?

 

[Furball]

This field is depressing

If I was the bowler I'd throw the ball back to the captain and tell him to get someone else to bowl to that field.
