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

[Red_Ink_Squid]

This is the most ill tempered ashes series in my memory, Australia must go for the 3-1 win to prove they are superior to England.

How many Ashes series do you remember, slippy?

I been watching ashes cricket since 1996 guys

 

[loterry1994]

Aus better go for the win and not go in their shell

 

[Molehill]

Restart at 4.20pm (20 mins time). Should be a guaranteed result.

 

[Shri]

resumption in 20 mins

 

[Silver Silva]

Aus better go for the win and not go in their shell

If it's reasonable..
Why should Australia risk losing because of Englands bad weather.(With all due respect)

 

[ripper868]

I expect and hope the attitude for both teams is still to push for a win, incredible final session this will be. Sure, the urn itself is decided, but 3-1 is much more satisfying for Aus, and 2-2 morally important for England.

And there is sunlight in my garden!

 

[sledger]

Typical Australia weasling out of defeat via the rain.

 

[Spark]

52 overs has to be a record long session right?

 

[loterry1994]

Least we pretty much guaranteed a result

Mates there’s 140 years of cricket history which proves that already.

Melbourne 98 had one about that long right

lol you might as welI have another tea break in between

 

[slippy888]

Will the floodlights be used

 

[Burgey]

“What are the tactics?”
“We are going for the win.”
“I’m very glad to hear that.”

 

[Shri]

52 overs to be bowled in final session

these teams bowl that in a day

 

[Molehill]

The rate at which overs have been bowled in this series would suggest we could be here well after 8pm should it go the distance (which I sincerely doubt).

 

[slippy888]

Are England making up the rules that suit them now how is it possible to have a 52 over session in a test match

 

[Molehill]

Do you honestly think England would want a 52 over session with no tea break?

 

[The Sean]

That's three new balls for England.
