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

What an awful review

 

[Bahnz]

Wouldn’t be a fitting farewell without Broad burning a review.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Don't think Root thought that was a good idea.

 

[Socerer 01]

they said it was impact outside when discussing and still took the review

why lol

 

[GIMH]

Poor review that

 

[91Jmay]

Doesn't it have to fit through some thing the umpires carry to check shape (spherical)?

think they are moaning about the ball looking a lot different compared to the other, it's based on overs bowled roughly being the same iirc. Dunno what they can do about it, clearly we just wanted it changing as it was doing nothing. Think Aus had some first day where they changed it and took poles but that will be forgotten.

Just hope Marnus doesn't start saying it is too dark to play again.

 

[quincywagstaff]

That DRS review seemed to be driven by how well England have bowled this morning and deserving rewards, as opposed to whether it's out.

 

[morgieb]

That’s a Paine-esque review from England lol

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Plumb

 

[ataraxia]

Oh lol thought that one was outside leg

 

[Son Of Coco]

That's out surely.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Wouldn't be Broad without a wasted review

I meant the replacement ball.

As the one we got was in no way comparable to one it replaced.

Well Stuart Broad having a **** review and hitting a six with his last ball ever are two of the bingo card options.

 

[loterry1994]

Yeah it’s over

 

[Gnske]

Thanks for giving them a new ball cheats

 

[social]

England got very lucky with the rain yesterday and are capitalising

 

[GIMH]

This is stunning stuff.

 

[OverratedSanity]

This is an incredible spell from Woakes

 

[Socerer 01]

that review may be the worst by a batsman of all time

 

[RightArmMystery]

Quality bowling from Woakes. This is the start we needed.
