*Official* Fifth Test at The Oval

[NUFAN]

Faulkner better not give himself room to Anderson first ball here..

BTW, how good is it to see two guys running quick singles together.

The last thing Woakes needs is a one day like situation. FFS Clarke and your desire to declare on 450.

When do we reckon Clarke will declare? It's looking fairly imminent the way these two have started since tea.

Steven Smith is magic, he wears a magic hat. When he saw the long-on fence, he said: I'm having that

Wait, is that current, or back when his role in the team was 'comic relief'

Jesus Christ

 

[Spark]

that's a pretty ridiculous shot

Forkers gunning for the debut fifty on debut.

 

[MW1304]

This has become a one day game, so Woakes is on. Yes.

Where is Swann?

 

[NUFAN]

Why do people use the phrase 'thinking cricketer' in relation to Broad so often?

I can safely say that I have never done so in my life and have no idea why people say it.

 

[Uppercut]

How is following him there the right thing to do Holding? How is he ever going to get out to a ball on his pads when he's standing outside leg stump?

450. They were burned by the rain at Old Trafford.

[Spikey]

Caught by Trott. What an unlucky debut for Faulkner.

These cliches strengthen if a couple of guys use the term early on. But I still think you shouldn't doubt it because of his length inconsistency.


Woakesy!

 

[Prince EWS]

One out of two maybe.

Woakes wins.

 

[Furball]

Broad was unlucky yesterday but by god has he ever bowled some crap today.

I thought it was just me who'd noticed.

 

[andyc]

Was his original baggygreen IIRC.

 

[NUFAN]

Rogers 23 (100)
Siddle 23 (27)
Faulkner 23 (20)

Better than his other nickname

Debut 1 Debut 0

Well.. I would rather be averaging 23 with the bat on debut over averaging 83 with the ball.
