5th Test at The Oval, London

[Groundking]

It's set up perfectly for Root to down hill ski a ton and get his series average above 40 again...

Won't happen now.

Oh ffs

 

[Spark]

That's a lot better.

Good couple of balls there from Lyon - targeted foot-marks which were very wide

 

[Lillian Thomson]

A successful 350 chase is not out of question I'd think.

Why the obsession with whether the ball is turning. It’s still only before lunch on day 3.

Best over he's bowled for a few games tbh

Lol just enquired to have an idea if Australia will find it difficult on this pitch later. Don't get triggered so easily for nothing.

Never been triggered in my life. It was a simple question.

I remember being surprised to find that Bradman did have a lot more failures then people think.

Amazing conversion from 50 to 100, plus 0 dismissals in the nervous 90s plus an ability to turn half his 100s into 200s all big reasons why he averaged so high.

But it was common for him to follow a ton with a score under 20

In the 1936/37 Ashes, Bradman made two consecutive ducks and yet still scored more runs than Steve Smith has made in this series.

Was triggered this morning by an ump for 12 after smoking 3 back to back boundaries. Still furious.

I’ve been there. I’ve also been bowled first ball by a nun. Just not triggered by a silly Internet troll.

David Gower just used the F word live on Sky?!?!

I didn’t hear it. But Sky have binned him and he’s not happy, so he’s probably planning an exit.

Cummins still getting it through. He's developed a very repeatable action. Everything feels well grooved and geared towards maximum efficiency.

If I was 62 and as financially secure as him, I would be looking forward to a happy retirement, not bitter about my axing from a job I don't need!

Need isn't always financial
