*Official* Fifth Test at The Oval

[Prince EWS]

He took longer to give that out than we spend on most reviews.

 

[jackbyrne91]

Umpires call this?

 

[Spark]

ump's call imo

 

[91Jmay]

Umpires call clipping the stumps.

 

[Cabinet96]

I thought Starc wasn't allowed to take wickets with the new ball?

 

[marc71178]

I know you all ignored me about Katich but as a Lancs fan on our march back to Div 1 I thought I would again mention Katich. 100 off 86 balls. Seems very un-Katich like but really glad Aus didn't call him up at any point.

Lancs fan from Reading, another fertang perchance?

 

[Son Of Coco]

Good decision! Even better review.

 

[Maximas]

3 reds, nice

 

[NUFAN]

I think that's clipping leg at first glance. Surprised at Dar's reaction there, its almost like he thought yeah why not, what the hell.

Starc with the wicket on the new ball debut.

 

[Prince EWS]

So bowl Harris and Lyon then.

Starc is a specialist second new ball bowler. Staple CW meme.

[Pothas]

Think I preferred it when Trott got to 40 quickly before getting out.

 

[Furball]

Booo.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah good decision that is. That's the thing with Starc, always the threat of getting it in the perfect area even when he isn't bowling well. Australia have a big chance here, lucky tea is only 5 minutes away.

 

[Spark]

I wouldn't take the new ball just yet here. Really feels like a wicket is coming.

Is it worth taking the new ball with the slowness of the pitch, the appearance of spin and the fact that these batsmen are tied down?

Uppercut ffs

i see no reason to take the new ball now but clarke will view differently.

Don't do a TB and bowl pies yeah Starc

Umpires call this?

ump's call imo

cw at its finest

 

[MW1304]

Trott more shocked that Starc bowled one in the vague vicinity of the stumps with the new ball than anything.

Edit: Ah yes fair, second new ball.

 

[ajdude]

might go to bed now, hope to see the 4th wicket fall when i get home from work tomorrow night

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Don't know why it was reviewed and not sure why it took so long to give. Painful innings from Trott.

 

[Cabinet96]

Don't let Woakesy get exposed to the new ball

 

[jackbyrne91]

Cricketing logic being applied here. Why don't England send a nightwatchman out here? Why is the end of the day different from the end of session? Break in play is a break in play no?
