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

[Gnske]

170 runs is still a long way away in a fourth innings. And all we have is four number 11s, a cheat wicketkeeper and an allrounder who at the best of times has a benis and gap the size of the Marianas trench between bat and pad.

who swapped Shami in there to bowl

Holy **** this hack.

Haha it definitely has been a disgusting innings, but Crawley made 189.

I mean most Head innings start like this.

Yeah guys who can strike it bail themselves out.

 

[Gnske]

I mean most Head innings start like this.

This feels like an innings where he passes 50 and not a ton.

Man looked surprisingly good from the start for his WTC hundred, I couldn't believe what I was watching.

 

[CarlsbergXpress]

Need another wicket sharpish - my nerves say so.

 

[Gnske]

Why haven't they gone for the short ball so far until now? He can't play it

 

[Molehill]

No way Head plays in the next Ashes, no one can be this lucky for that long.

Not quite like this, but yeah he misses balls he'll never edge by miles in his first 20 balls pretty regularly.

Also, daily reminder that he is greater than Wade.

 

[91Jmay]

Reckon it's 60/40 Aus or 100% draw if raindar is true.

 

[MW1304]

I can cope with a Smith special getting them home, but this **** needs to **** off.

I see trundler's IP is being infringed

He will probably be Australian captain to be fair

 

[shortpitched713]

Glad to see Australia didn't get it in their heads to play for the draw. Absolutely would have been a recipe for disaster. As it is, a lot of work to be done for either side to get the victory, but neither should believe in this "go for draws in Test cricket" meme, that needs to die.

 

[Gnske]

Watch Moeen jag out the dumbest wicket here

 

[Silver Silva]

This is how most feel when England are hitting balls over the slips and in the air during Bazball but it somehow works for Brook ..

You haven't seen TJB in a St Kilda brothel

 

[Prince EWS]

Smith was clearly taking evasive action against Moeen there, didn't want to get sconed and see the third new ball.
