*Official* Fifth Test at the Oval

[TheJediBrah]

And Marsh's bowling is so much better than I thought it was before this series

Everyone was happy with him as a batsman but worried about his bowling a few games ago. Funny how things change.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

nobody in this thread would have taken that

That is about the worst argument that can be made for a dropped catch by a test player.

 

[TheJediBrah]

Confident in saying I would have taken it 9 times out of 10

Though I've rarely fielded more than 90 overs in a row so not sure how I'd go concentration-wise for that period of time. May fall asleep.

i would have listened to Nev and stood further back, increasing my chances

argument what no just a fact

 

[Gnske]

nobody in this thread would have taken that

I would have 110% guarantee.

 

[Compton]

I'm pretty sure I'd have taken the catch.

 

[Jono]

deadset put in a third man to Bell. Nothing worse than seeing him guide balls to third man.

 

[mr_mister]

drop rogers imo

 

[Gnske]

Now the blind ginger drops one.

I'm glad he's retiring too

 

[mr_mister]

bell has gone back from the terminator to the sherminator

 

[Spikey]

broken ****ing thumb

 

[Compton]

Finally.

Mitch Marsh has been all over him since he came into the attack

 

[Jono]

Yes. **** off Bell

 

[mr_mister]

i dont think ill ever have to watch bell bat again

 

[OverratedSanity]

What a **** batsman

 

[Son Of Coco]

Generous from Clarke here putting Starc on so Root can get himself in without having to play at a ball.

 

[mr_mister]

**** yeah hawkie. seems hes only known for skulling beers these days

 

[Compton]

Interesting tactics from Starc.

Everyone is familiar with the old outswinger-outswinger-inswinger. Starc goes with the slightly less conventional method of setting up the batsman.

Cook will be getting out soon. Although he doesn't actually look well set compared to how he's been getting to 30 in the rest of the series.
