5th Test at The Oval, London

[Uppercut]

0 centuries from 58 FC matches


He's gonna be an Ian Harvey type. Moments of brilliance, could see hat tricks with the ball or taking 25 runs off an over with the bat

But can't see him getting test 150s or 7fers

He's bits and pieces but very good at it

I mean yeah this is all logical, and it’s why I wasn’t calling for his inclusion before, but he’s also kind of been the match-winner in almost every test he’s played. Maybe you keep picking him until you’re sure that’s just a fluke?

 

[ajdude]

****ing bullshit **** off woakes you idiot

 

[Maximas]

Wow he actually missed one

 

[StephenZA]

Well thats not good for Aus.

 

[mr_mister]

He his human. I can finally sleep

 

[Groundking]

Yay let's keep them below 200 please.

 

[trundler]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr I do not like this. Guess I can sleep now. Anyway, I said I was concerned about his across movement as he looked scratchier. Another win for trundler.

 

[Maximas]

Was worried that Healy was asking a bit much when he wanted another 300 about 45 runs ago

 

[Maximas]

Didn't expect England to get away with that drop on 60 odd either

 

[Anil]

that's three times this series that smith has failed to get a hundred...time to worry? i think so! is he losing it? sure starting to look like it...sad to see great players decline...

 

[SeamUp]

No body has got Smith out LBW more than Woakes in test cricket. Odd.

 

[social]

Thinking about the next ball

80 runs. Not good enough!

 

[zaremba]

Can’t get my head round the fact that Smith has top scored in every single innings, except for the three when he was concussed and his replacement top scored in all of those.

Cue Lyon to ruin this, and my life, with a spawny hundred here

 

[Jack1]

Anyone used any of those New Balance bats? Any good? Aware these players get them custom made. I've never used one I wonder if they had a good middle at least.

 

[Spark]

The quality of cricket in this game really has been kind of dismal.

 

[Groundking]

Why are we so **** at catching the ball?

 

[Arachnodouche]

The quality of cricket in this game really has been kind of dismal.

To be expected really after almost four months of high intensity cricket.

Cut them some slack, been a long summer for both

 

[Spark]

To be expected really after almost four months of high intensity cricket.

Yeah, both sides look kind of knackered

Cut them some slack, been a long summer for both

Nah it's perfectly understandable, just unusual to see at this level
