*Official* Fifth Test at The Oval

[grecian]

Serious babe alert on the left.

 

[GIMH]

Nobody cares about Aussie Rules Warne you **** ****, Hugh Grant has had your missus

 

[Biryani Pillow]

Platform there now to go for this. Love it if we win this.

The 'overs remaining' are a fallacy, they'll never bowl them by 19.00.

If England get anywhere close Clarke will slam the breaks on the over rate.

Also factor in that it's a 5th day pitch.

This decleration was a total smokescreen. Five plus per over with no field restrictions and the actual overs remaining was not aggressive. A target of 200 may have been.

 

[grecian]

Umm, wtf.

 

[andyc]

Yesssss 6/9 time

They can play until 7.30, and have two spinners bowling

Is there not scope to go beyond 19.00 due to the minimum overs in the last hour and/or the fact that we're making up overs from earlier days' play?

 

[Furball]

I'm not watching this, has the light deteriorated or is Clarke trying to troll England into a mistake?

7pm is scheduled close which means 7.30 is the latest they can go as per standard rules, plus I think day five has some extra stipulations doesn't it?

Spin looks more dangerous and difficult to score off.

Light's fine; pitch is turning and bouncing.

 

[grecian]

Think Warner might be better on this pitch than Clarke, gets a bit of bounce doesn't he?

 

[Uppercut]

If it was Dhoni and Sammy they'd shake on the draw round about now.

 

[GIMH]

There you go, we'll get 29 or more if they bowl them before the allotted time (which would be a little silly unless we are down to the tail)

 

[GIMH]

If it was Dhoni and Sammy they'd shake on the draw round about now.

If Warne was England captain he'd declare now; gotta be prepared to lose to win.

6/9 baby

 

[GIMH]

6/9 baby

It was around the time that Harmison was gunning it

 

[GIMH]

We're gonna ****ing win this

 

[grecian]

Oh no, the new Keith Miller is on.....

 

[BoyBrumby]

Warne is disappointed Kerrigan didn't get a bowl. If only he'd said so earlier.

I loved his commentary until this series.

And, shot, Trott.

I'd never have gone that far, but he's moved from being regarded with benign indifference to being thought of as a rank troll in the Brumby household.

In this test he's literally been as bad as Ravi Shastri or some of the other Indian cheerleaders.
