*Official* Fifth Test at The Oval

[grecian]

Faulkner surely must keep his place now

Indeed can't drop him now.

Say what you like about Faulkner but he now averages 12 with the ball in tests and 21 in fc - guy must be doing something right

Anyway, England to win series 3-0 without once threatening to reach 400 - just goes to show how ****house our batting is

 

[Spikey]

Can see the Aussies dropping Starc and keeping Faulkner in the side tbh for Brisbane.

They already did it during the CT.............

 

[LegionOfBrad]

So have a smash and set 220 in 35-40 overs?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Top stuff by England, Aussies to try the same now and lollapse to Kerrigan to get him on the tour.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Faulkner has Warne pushing his cart hard and we know the future Mr Hurley has Lehmann's ear.

Literally so with that earpiece tuned to the comm.

Also, is it me or has Warne become even more of a tiresome **** as the series has gone on?

Faulkner wasn't the issue then though.

 

[Cabinet96]

Yes, Watto!

 

[MW1304]

Open with Kerrigan imo

Great analyst, genius cricketer but an egomaniac that quickly becomes a tiresome **** when it comes to defending his opinions

 

[Howe_zat]

Fingers crossed for Cook and Bairstow bowling to set up a target

 

[GIMH]

Watson rewarded for his century by getting pushed back up the order

 

[Spark]

interesting stat. we've had a first innings lead in four out of the five tests.

don't know if that means much, though.

That your second digs have been ****house?

Yeah, I doubt batting last at Durham and TB helped you lot. Could have restricted England more in their second innings though. Been a bit of an ITC series.

Not to mention the small matter of it being a totally different format...

Our batsmen are spineless ****s?

Honestly, a decent side would have walked this series having led on 4/5 first innings but a decent side we are not

Hate to break it to you Howe, but JB is not playing

 

[grecian]

Oh no, Australia are killing off Test Cricket it's less than 2 an over.

BOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Cabinet96]

Yeah, really dire stuff. Haven't won a test this series and they clearly have no desire to win one yet.
