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

[ripper868]

Word is Canada are requesting a ball change at the WWC as well.

 

[quincywagstaff]

like i mean i’m ****ty as anybody about the ball change but a) England didn’t even ask for it to be changed, b) the outrage from media in this country is going to be so cringy, which leads to c) every old person i know will be asking me “gee do you think those poms were unfair with that ball change?” and i just don’t have the capacity to deal with that

There's already a poll on The Age website and a story on the Herald Sun website.

So tediously predictable.

Urgh Jimmy. Everyone else looks unplayable atm, then he comes in and lets all the pressure off.

 

[Shri]

anderson probably a worse bowler than kohli right now

 

[Gnske]

God damn he looks garbage

But god is it good.

Where Matthew Wade settles the gut Head fills it with sugar coated arsenic

 

[Prince EWS]

Harsh.. just because he dented the ball with his head. You mods are a trigger happy lot aren't ya

Haha I was 100% taking the piss in the last sentence.

He may just see this as a blip and I'm sure England don't want to lose two senior bowlers simultaneously but he just looks so untroubling.

 

[GIMH]

Should only lose about an hour to rain from what I can see. Think this will be wrapped up one way or another

I feel this one violates the halba rule tbh

I beat you to this.

I'm sure @GIMH will give us ammunition by reporting the post.

 

[Preed]

Please get Anderson off before he bowls them into form.should not have been in this test but Stokes arrogance. Wins out.With Ali and Anderson we are down to 3 bowlers

Actual radar presentation btw, not a computer forecast

This is one of the all time hack innings thus far. It's moving but as Taylor said early it's not hooping around corners.

 

[Bahnz]

Jeez Travis missed that by a mile.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Head just needs to play a classic Head counterattacking hundred and Aus are home.

More seriously, Head looks like a #11 at the moment. Not unusual for him outside off when he's missing them, but jeez.

 

[White Ball]

Straya are over half way there now
