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

[Shri]

murphy should shield carey and go for the chase

 

[ashley bach]

Australia will still be gutted. They just needed to bat out two and half hours and they win the series. Most of the time you back yourself to do it when you have 7 wickets in the shed

Yeah exactly, and what makes it worse for them is that in four years time they'll have to hear left right and centre about how they haven't won an ashes
series in the fatherland for nearly quarter of a century.

Is Murphy going to debut at home this summer if Lyon doesn't get recovered?

 

[mackembhoy]

Is Cummins going to hit the winning runs? Or

Which is other one?

Ready to Go Sunderland Message Board

It's got an active cricket section outside of it being originally set up for Sunderland fans.

 

[danzydab]

root got carey out first innings, just saying

 

[GIMH]

In four years? Suggest you put me on ignore if you think it’s going to take that long

 

[ripper868]

getting unbearably dark in the garden now tbh. best call this off.

I know the feeling from 87 to 2005

18 years home and away, for you each day

 

[Calm_profit]

Just give ball to Jimmy to make the match more interesting.

 

[mackembhoy]

Imagine how much more tense this day could've been if it was 2-2.

I feel like their just trying to hide their pain by joking away.

They are gutted if it ends 2-2.

 

[loterry1994]

Is this the new ball or old one still

 

[Calm_profit]

Is this the new ball or old one still

Still old

 

[Tom Flint]

No room for sentiment here, get wood on before they get set

 

[loterry1994]

No room for sentiment here, get wood on before they get set

yeah clean up Murphy before they get another 20 runs

 

[Ashes81]

Murphy has been impressive with bat and ball.

I can see him being a right pain in the arse in future Ashes

 

[Shri]

ponting going on about the ball change

 

[CartyDurham]

Got to be wood taking the new ball

 

[Gob]

I feel like their just trying to hide their pain by joking away.

They are gutted if it ends 2-2.

They were probably expecting it after day 3 but the situation did changed drastically. Winviz had them as favourites about half an hour ago

 

[trundler]

If only England had someone quicker than Broad to bowl those yorkers

 

[Burgey]

Nothing like losing the stream and following cricinfo commentary to make you want to carve your eyeballs out with a spoon
