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

[flibbertyjibber]

This will end before lunch

 

[Gnske]

One of the best new ball spells of the year

 

[GIMH]

Not sure why he's reviewed that

 

[TheJediBrah]

Do they still get another new ball at the 80 over mark even though this one will clearly not be that old

 

[Cubiscus]

Always play Woakes in England. This is tailor made.

 

[Bahnz]

Can’t believe Woakes didn’t play all 5 games.

 

[91Jmay]

Revising my prediction, winning by 100+

 

[Skipper Pup]

Haha 80 overs? Didn't you know England can just replace it whenever they like.

 

[GIMH]

Why wait until 80? Give us one at 60.

I've got a meeting at 14.30 that I have to present at. Be good if we can wrap it up before then

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Why didn't Marnus tell him to save the review?

 

[Red_Ink_Squid]

He's been the best bowler of the series IMO.

Even with my oft-proclaimed love for him, he's surpassed my expectations. He's been superb!

 

[Uppercut]

This is an incredible spell from Woakes

The Warner dismissal was even better in the context of the previous ball pitching in exactly the same perfect spot and coming in. Warner had no chance.

 

[Gnske]

Can’t believe Woakes didn’t play all 5 games.

The fat unfit racist slob had more on the ball allegedly

 

[Carlos]

knew this would happen. Not sure about this ball changing stuff. Its seems ridiculous that they could be 135/0 then suddenly things are changing quite a bit. Think conditions have helped too.

 

[Molehill]

A lot of complaints about the ball change, but it's cloudy and humid, the lights are on. The old one might well have done more in these conditions too.

 

[Son Of Coco]

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.

I've never seen a ball replaced and not have the replacement be very similar to the one they're changing. I'm not sure what happened.

 

[Shri]

ffs

 

[GIMH]

Revising my prediction, winning by 100+

Why so conservative?

 

[Silver Silva]

As the Aussies would say , they be feeling a bit stiff on this situation.

Yeah, you would think so.
