*Official* Fifth Test (The Oval, London) 27-31 July

[Jfry]

I don't think Crawley has played a controlled shot in his last 10 balls here

Batting and bowling stats in this series are weird. England by and large have the better averages in both disciplines. Four of the first six batters, and the five best bowling averages.

 

[Starfighter]

Really funny that we spent the first four tests not bowling there to Crawley.

 

[Spark]

Crawley just has no idea when the ball is just outside off on a good length. You just bang away there all day, Australia bowled far too straight at him in the last game.

The last game? The whole damn series

Yeah fair

Tremlett looks like an absolute tank

 

[Starfighter]

Which is very odd. You'd more expect that from a side losing 3-0 going into the final match.

I think they've outthought themselves as much as anything. Hence why we have the obviously planned stupid bowling.

Lol right? He was scary enough when he was human-shaped.

He’s a bodybuilder these days

 

[Gnske]

Our team is like Ruth Bader Ginsburg right before her deserved end

is Haze done as a first XI player? Obviously he got 5 last innings he bowled but it was a pretty fluky/ordinary 5 piece. He just looks like he has so much less nip now than he had in the past. He averages 30 under Cummins looking at it

First one on leg stump goes for four.

How he's played four games of this series at this standard I'll never know. It's not like we don't have alternatives.

 

[Starfighter]

Don't bowl there Mitchell please.

His nickname was chassis at Hampshire I believe even back then.

 

[halba]

** selection. where is Neser?

 

[loterry1994]

Aussies been cooked since the 2nd game

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Good toss to lose.

Bad drops though, one was a sitter, other was tough but needs taking.

Pecking order.

Now burning another review.
