5th Test at The Oval, London

[GoodAreasShane]

This is bloody awful. I need a drink

 

[quincywagstaff]

Last couple of overs from Cummins first time this session Oz bringing back the usual intensity as well.

 

[mr_mister]

Concussion sub him off

Would've been a big mental effort to regroup after Headingley so after they reached their main target, perhaps understandable they've mentally slackened off.

It feels like a bit of a mountain to climb by winning the series, especially given the England side haven't let up. I'd have taken 2-2 at the start of the series but it feels nowhere near as good as say 3-1 (even 2-1 - obviously this Test is far from over given it's literally not even lunch on Day 1 yet)

 

[aussie tragic]

Concussion sub him off

Can't. Has to be like for like bowler so there's no one crap enough to replace him

 

[social]

**** off Gower

“Looking good” does not involve being set up and someone dropping a sitter

That’s awful

 

[Alex0paul]

Oh wow

 

[morgieb]

What the ****. That was 100% Warner's catch.

 

[Spikey]

was paine trying to kill warner there

root could make 90 here if we're not careful

 

[GIMH]

It's Joe's lucky day

 

[aussie tragic]

Piss off Paine

 

[Burgey]

Is there any chance of Siddle pitching the ball up ffs? He’s been ****ing awful.

Such a typically Victorian performance. Harris playing too. We’re screwed

Even at his peak Siddle was only ever any good when he pitched it up.

This has been woeful from the guy who has got as many tests as Starc and Pattinson combined.

I was telling my wife about the two Victorians rule when Harris misfielded. She thought I was kidding...

Indeed

And now that from Paine. Worst session of the series for us

 

[quincywagstaff]

30 minutes of the Sky comms drooling over Root's mindset and technique and Cummins should have got him in consecutive overs.

Forgotten the last session at Headingley already?

 

[trundler]

Those 2 drops... Simply horrible.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Make that drink bleach. Or Avgas.

 

[GIMH]

When we win this match we can rightly feel aggrieved that the rain at Lord's robbed us of a 3-2 victory
