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

[CartyDurham]

Cheeky and four more

 

[RightArmMystery]

What happened?

He started talking.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Cheeky ****

 

[CartyDurham]

Unbelievably bad cricket since Root got out

But superb batting ? Come on, this is a fantastic watch

 

[Molehill]

Beware the injured Moeen....

 

[Daemon]

here come the short ball tactics again

 

[91Jmay]

I swear he was leaving that all the way then just decided at last second to poke it. Big spell of the game this with Murphy

 

[morgieb]

England are gonna win by a bigger margin than Pakistan did. We might as well forfeit now.

 

[loterry1994]

Cummins poor captaincy showing again doesn’t know what to do when pressure is on we’re absolute lucky the last time rained out

 

[CartyDurham]

.

ah ha murphy

reminds me of Vettori but runs quicker

 

[Molehill]

Hold on a mo, who is this having a bowl?

 

[loterry1994]

Yeah we’re only 180 down before the spinner gets in **** me

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

England are gonna win by a bigger margin than Pakistan did. We might as well forfeit now.

That's right, you should.

 

[morgieb]

here come the short ball tactics again

Tbf short is the one way you’d want to bowl to Brook. It’s like we’ve perfected the art of bowling to England’s strengths to every non-Root batsman in the side.

 

[woodleigh]

Great batting, terrible bowling....

 

[Kirkut]

It's embarrassing to say this but Tim Paine was probably a better tactician than Cummins.

 

[CartyDurham]

This is just a continuation of the last two tests

australia on fumes and England going at nearly 6s

four more to Moeen

 

[morgieb]

Murphy’s been sold up a river. He should’ve bowled when Brook and Moeen were still under pressure, not when they were going for the tonk.

 

[Daemon]

Great batting, terrible bowling....

Don't praise the batting, it winds up cartydurham which is quite funny

 

[91Jmay]

Hold on a mo, who is this having a bowl?

No he's batting
