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

Who actually cares how runs are scored though, bazish, or technical or whatever?

Edit: Have it on good authority that Bradman was nothing more than a glorified leg side agricultural player, just happened to have a bit of hand eye coordination to back it.

Bradman was playing Bazball back in the 30s yo

Why can't he get it right overseas ?
It's really weird , I don't think there has ever been a bowler with such a big discrepancy in Home and Away records ..

Biased overseas umpiring.

Tubby has been good this series but he’s been really annoying right now with this four day game ****

DK ruining him. I swear in the last couple of Tests every time he's been on he's been with him.

We've got 2 wickets in last 6 overs and we are trying to change the ball?

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Was trousers I think, if he'd have hit it they'd have showed it on TV by now.

It was outside off though so if that was trowsers then the dude must have a mighty dong

 

[Daemon]

It's going to hurt him in the long run. It's been ok this series at times because playing late in England is good but it's not a pathway to long term success

he's almost 37 and averaging nearly 50. what long term lol.

 

[Burgey]

I mean Ponting got a spray and he wasn't even playing - so I am not sure that they were being racist, although it being almost exclusively bunch of racist Tories it is possible. Just not sure you should be overly intimidated by a bloke who might be seeing his last Test swearing at you.

It’s not really about being intimidated is it? It’s about not being abused by people who are given the privilege of access to the players by virtue of their membership of the MCC.

Was his pocket

 

[Socerer 01]

who the **** is this sub fielder

 

[Silver Silva]

Incredible to think England were bowled out in 54 overs , Australia are on 58 overs but still are less than halfway to England's total with only 6 wickets left ..

Marsh is looking to belt Woakes

I mean it is out of order obviously, the whole long room concept/Lords in general is just cringe but you reckon many Aussie teams of the past would have particularly cared about that?

 

[morgieb]

**** that's a great shot.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

I hope Marsh bats all day if it's like this. **** fancy stuff, this is how you do it

 

[cnerd123]

Some of Marsh's strokeplay in this series has been incredible

Matthew Hayden and Andrew Symonds might have taken a different approach

 

[GotSpin]

Marsh must be an absolute unit in the gym

doesnt matter

it was unacceptable and shouldnt be the norm

Roy belting one of them would have been brilliant for cricket tbh
