5th Test at The Oval, London

[stephen]

He was always good for key wickets from what I remember. Got Cook and Stokes at Lords in 2015 when they were the only English bats who made runs.

Yeah this is back up to his pre injury speed. He's been bowling well tbf. Way better than the banana pie chucking Victorian.

 

[stephen]

How could Siddle average 26.5 with 44 runs to his name?

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Deserves more than right arm medium imo

 

[Cabinet96]

Funny to think this is an English Ashes series yet a guy coming into the 5th test and swinging the ball is a surprise.

 

[stephen]

Was that Ozzie Osborne or Keith Richards?

44 is his HS. He has 53 runs

 

[stephen]

Thanks. I also note that Wade had scored more in one innings than the rest combined.

Siddle has been woeful today. Half volleys or too short. Must be the tears in his eyes.

 

[Tangles]

Pie o’clock.

 

[Spark]

Okay we have a fifth bowler so could we just have Marsh bowl, like, all of Siddle's overs now please?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Starc wouldve been just as bad.

 

[Spark]

Starc wouldve been just as bad.

Yeah, but Patto.

 

[Groundking]

Actually get a ton this time please Joe?

 

[zaremba]

Spawny knock so far. Grind it out now Joe.

 

[Spark]

If Lyon can't bowl, why was he picked?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Root will get 64 this time.

 

[stephen]

That's the right length Siddle.

 

[stephen]

Anyway I'm off to bed. Hope to wake up to 200ao with Australia on 0/75 at stumps.

I hope to wake up next to Scarlett Johannson. Good luck.

 

[Spark]

Aus aren't in a terrible position (somehow) but it's pretty clear now that bowling first was a substantial error. Looks like this turn a fair bit late on.

All wickets have been pretty big batsman error, it's a good pitch. Can always be safe in the knowledge Smith will make a million.
