*Official* Fifth Test at the Oval

[LegionOfBrad]

I honestly didn't know this

Heh. The Beeb actually announced today they're ditching the met office next year as well.

What's the rain situation like?

 

[LegionOfBrad]

What's the rain situation like?

It's already raining.

 

[Compton]

Johnson's been poor this morning.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Yeah they're coming off soon.

 

[morgieb]

It's already raining.

How long should the rain last?

BBC forecast suggets that England could survive the Test. Would arguably be the least deserving result of all time.

 

[Cabinet96]

Does Moeen drink?

 

[Compton]

I could see Moeen opening the batting going very, very poorly.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Want Ali to get out to a big shot, just to hear a Boycott spray at some stage.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Does Moeen drink?

Negative.

 

[Compton]

And they're off.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

That'll be it until at least 4pm chaps.

 

[mr_mister]

was so close to putting money on a draw, had literally bet on one for each of the first four games ha

 

[Cabinet96]

Negative.

Can't wait for Warne to ask him if he's thirsty after the match.

There are probably dozens of similar rain draws you could draw from

Anyway. Broad and Ali were well on the way to a 300 partnership to set a tricky target

 

[Spark]

We really, really need to think very carefully before picking Johnson and Starc in the same side again.

How many lost the best part of two days and one side was poised for victory?

It does point out the difference between Alastair Cook and the Australian batsmen. If any of the Aussie lot would have put up in Cardiff, what Cook did yesterday, and if Cook would have failed to do so yesterday, the Ashes would be in Australian hands right now.

Yep. Smashed down the whole of day 5 and they would have known it to.
