*Official* Fifth Test (The Oval, London) 27-31 July

[loterry1994]

Losing two Tests after declaring in one Ashes series would be legendarily bad.

Do it.

your kidding If you think aus will chase 400 off after a declaration tonight

They've managed to dry us up a little, interesting

Daily reminder that Head > historical examples > Wade.

 

[silentstriker]

That’s pretty.

 

[ashley bach]

Shackles broken.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

No point in watching the match anymore. If you are going to be in such dominating position by bazballing then its a great turn off.

 

[White Ball]

lol do you come here just to give weather updates every hour

It’s part of the game!

 

[Spark]

Nicely bowled but we need another, like, five wickets in the next half hour.

 

[silentstriker]

Damn that was a nice ball

 

[91Jmay]

That's a great ball, turned and he kept that nice line. Another ton goes begging but that's a great knock

 

[GIMH]

Bloody hell. Some ball that.

Gutted no ton for Joe but he’s had a good series

Game is over for Australia sadly

Can't help but feel Murph is gonna be around for years to come.

Yes I'm sure you're devastated.

 

[91Jmay]

Kept really low as well that.

 

[Spark]

Yeah plenty there to work with. He'll learn a lot from this tour.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah plenty there to work with. He'll learn a lot from this tour.

He was nice over the wicket, around the wicket the big work needed. Kept spearing it in at leg stump or chucking it wide.

Potential there though

 

[trundler]

Can't wait to point to his average over 30 in England to prove why he's failed there despite better performances in the future

I don't like the around the wicket line in general tbh so if it means he sticks to a nice wide over the wicket line for now I'm not too disappointed. Though he did have success around the wicket in India, I guess very very different conditions though - the sort of balls that he throw out wide that got driven were getting blokes out LBW there because they'd turned so much

Another great series for Joe. Think he’ll be disappointed he didn’t convert a couple of those 50s.
