*Official* Fifth Test at the Oval

[LegionOfBrad]

Well at least when we're ****e we make it to day 4.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Gonna get blown away early tomorrow I suspect.

 

[Compton]

Weather won't save England, should be a full morning session tomorrow and with the new ball that should be plenty.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Be hilarious if the weather comes early and it pours for 2 days.

That or we get skittled in half an hour so a pathetic defeat is followed by lifting the urn.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah pretty hollow series this to be honest. Two bad teams.

 

[Daemon]

**** me Indian fans never cease to amaze me. They can get Team India into any discussion no matter how tenuous.

Not defending him but this simply isn't true on here. In fact I'd say NZ fans are by far the most guilty of it in recent times.

 

[BeeGee]

Siddle's figure are ridiculous

He's just poured into those whites.

 

[Cabinet96]

All I wanted was a Cook century

 

[Cabinet96]

What a man Peter Siddle is though. **** the haters.

 

[Cabinet96]

****ing hell Ian Bell struggled.

 

[91Jmay]

Not defending him but this simply isn't true on here. In fact I'd say NZ fans are by far the most guilty of it in recent times.

That might be true, the barrage from him and weldone is hard to look past though.

 

[Furball]

****ing hell Ian Bell struggled.

Because he isn't very good.

 

[Cabinet96]

Good ball to get him out tbf.

 

[Compton]

Good ball to get him out tbf.

He'd already edged to slip not long before.

 

[Cabinet96]

Improved effort from Cook against Lyon anyway. Kind of ironic to do all that then get out to Smith though.

 

[Cabinet96]

Root's got out to the hook quite a bit. When does it become a concern?

 

[Furball]

If he starts off in South Africa by throwing his wicket away (I'm assuming getting caught hooking the quicks in the UAE is rarer than a Shane Watson century.)

 

[Viscount Tom]

If he starts off in South Africa by throwing his wicket away (I'm assuming getting caught hooking the quicks in the UAE is rarer than a Shane Watson century.)

Well then lets hope his getting out on the hook doesn't become as frequent as a Shane Watson lbw then.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Because he isn't very good.

He is lucky so many others have struggled so his place is safe by default for now.

Looks a player coming to the end though.
