5th Test at The Oval, London

[Spark]

I don't think that one is out

I guess I'm just a bit dirty in how Wade and Warner were dismissed in this Test.

Not sure about Warner.

Wade was out, the ball was knocking the leg stump out of the ground.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

According to Ponting Warner has said he hit it.

 

[ajdude]

surprised paine didn't review the **** out of that with 0.5 seconds left

 

[andmark]

How long before we can make jokes about how Australia won the Ashes but not the series?

 

[Spark]

Wrong end.

 

[zaremba]

Game's well set up for Bairstow and Buttler. First time in the series.

Did the non review definitely miss the front pad? On the replay I thought it looked like it was heading for the front pad,( and possibly down the leg side?) only for the next moment to show the point of impact being the back leg.

 

[zaremba]

Wrong end.

Always a pleasure to watch Wade fail. Seems to have the worst of the old-style Aussie approach to the game, but without the ability.



Edit: just looked him up and seen that he overcame the big C as a lad. More mixed feelings about him now.

 

[Spark]

Anyway this session has probably killed off any realistic hopes we could have had of staying in the game. Have to take your chances and we haven't at all since, well, before the game started.

 

[Spark]

Aaaand another chance missed.

 

[vcs]

England look well set for 400+ here.

 

[Groundking]

Aaaand another chance missed.

I'm watching footy, what happened?

Missed run out. Direct hit and Stokes is out by two feet.

Hit more boundaries though so win on count back.

 

[morgieb]

Australia losing the plot here.

 

[zaremba]

Siddle's back on for his 3rd spell, his first two each lasting 2 overs. Most baffling selection for many years.

 

[Groundking]

Missed run out. Direct hit and Stokes is out by two feet.

The run never on then I assume? There has been some seriously silly cricket played in this series.

Yeah completely suicidal. Very similar to the one two overs before that also probably should have been run out in very similar circumstances but Wade threw to the wrong end.
