*Official* Fifth Test at The Oval

[GIMH]

He's had lunch with me, so he obviously has.

Watching you struggle with the concept of a knife and fork was pretty interesting tbf

 

[Son Of Coco]

Call me crazy, but I don't reckon 2-3 feet outside off is the best place to bowl to these blokes.

I struggled with the concept that you had to use them when everyone else at the Chinese restaurant used chop sticks.

You're crazy.

 

[GIMH]

Cracking session tbf. Very entertaining.

 

[Son Of Coco]

You're crazy.

Your response will have to be discarded due to obvious bias.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Well at least we're having a smash now. No pressure really as the game is pretty much dead.

 

[Adders]

So wil Clarke try anything really bold in an attempt to win this??

I'd like to see another half an hour of Prior/Swann after lunch and then the last 3 wickets fall in a hurry........just to see how he plays it.

 

[Ruckus]

God I hope this Mark Nicholas special wasn't the exciting lunch SOC was talking about

I predict Australia will come out nude after the lunch break as a shock tactic.

In Chris Roger's case I reckon it'll be more like a shocked tic tac.

They need them out asap to even try anything now. We should get all the over's in minus innings changes however.

Right Imma head to bed, so will just say well done England on a deserved series win. Well done to virtually everyone on here too, for a keenly contested but for the most part good natured series and some worthwhile banter.

Sure, a few of the blow-ins are turds, but if they really are arse holes and not just hamming it up they won't last long. The rule of thumb is better generally perma'ed after 91 days, or Just about by the month of May.

Should give some kudos to Bell who had a fine series. Fortunately I missed each of his tons, so I can still say I've never seen him score a decent hundred. Quite simply, we need a couple of consistent top order batsmen. If a couple of the blokes improve as much as the People's Champ has, we will be well served in the home series.

Lastly, it's an indictment on how utterly terrible Mark Nicholas is that he can make even London seem like a **** city in a lunch break puff piece. He's like Graeme Swann - you'd like him to catch fire next to you so you could refuse to piss on him.

Anyways, cheers for an enjoyable series one and all, and see you for the return leg in a country with a real climate and more than three cakes of soap among the population.

Hope your stairlift breaks down halfway up the stairs

You know Australian cricket has hit rock bottom when Ian Bell will deservedly get man of the series in the Ashes.

It's not great for English cricket either. Ryan Harris will deservedly get man of the series as well and he was pretty rubbish in 2005.

AH GOD NOT MITCHELL JOHNSON SHUTUPz.

[GIMH]

Can't abide having sky comms on 05 and earlier ashes clips. Just doesn't have the same nostalgic feel.
