*Official* Fifth Test at the Oval

[Zinzan]

We do, though. But the middle order is more important.

Nah, he said 'the moving ball'.

 

[Spark]

Aside from Rogers?

It's not just the middle order that lost you those Tests. Though it is the biggest problem.

Warner's okay. Most of his dismissals have been to really good deliveries, which you get in England.

 

[Compton]

I reckon they'll keep faith in Buttler.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Warner's okay. Most of his dismissals have been to really good deliveries, which you get in England.

Aside from the Wood ball at Trent Bridge i can't think of many good balls he got out to?

 

[LegionOfBrad]

I reckon they'll keep faith in Buttler.

So do I but he'll be on notice.

 

[Spark]

Edgbaston as well.

 

[Compton]

That's madness from Ben Stokes.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Deary deary me.

 

[Compton]

If Mitch Marsh could bat he'd be a good all-rounder...

 

[Spark]

This is bizarre.

 

[NUFAN]

So Marsh gets Stokes from yet again another dreadful shot.

 

[fredfertang]

wtf was that - first delivery I see after getting from work and Bairstow plays a crass shot like that - should be the end of his Test career - utterly irresponsible

sentiments as above with the name Stokes substituted

 

[Pothas]

Just so bad.

 

[Cabinet96]

Lyth might get another chance tonight.

 

[GIMH]

Gonna take the positives. This is a timely reminder we have a lot of work to do ahead of a tough winter. And er. Well that's it really.

 

[Zinzan]

Wow, too much celebrating from England after Trent Bridge? They don't look up for the fight frankly.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

Lyth might get another chance tonight.

Clarke might not go with the follow on.

If he does he's batted his last innings in Test matches.

Mind you he'd probably get out for 10 anyway.

 

[Zinzan]

Wow-wee. Could be <100 here.

 

[Cabinet96]

I knew it was going to be bad when they gave Clarke the guard of honour in his 1st innings.

 

[Spark]

Sharp catch.
