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

[Shri]

has mcgrath said anything on tms about he'd bowl at brook

 

[91Jmay]

Both sides are not playing at their best but this is excellent cricket to watch.

It is exciting but think you are being generous to both teams. Both have been fairly rancid at times

 

[slowfinger]

if they can get to lunch without losing a wicket i'll be really happy

 

[slowfinger]

shot Mo

 

[91Jmay]

How is there still a gap in the slips. That's an awful shot, it's at most a single if he middles it

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Being serious has there ever been an ashes series where both keepers are so poor?

 

[RightArmMystery]

Mo's looked quite composed, left the ball well, not flashing outside the off-stump like normal. Brook's looking ****ing dreadful. Lucky to still be out there.

 

[Starfighter]

And this is happening

 

[woodleigh]

This is the best bowling weather we've had the entire series...

 

[Ashes81]

Bizarre session so far. We were rattling along until Duckett was strangled down the leg side.

The Aussies, apart from Cummins haven't bowled well and have dropped 3 chances, 2 of which were straight forward.

There's been numerous edges through the slips and gulley yet it doesn't feel like the ball has done all that much.

 

[social]

Brook’s technique looks different & decidedly dodgy today

 

[slowfinger]

Khawaja should have went for that

 

[Kraken]

Being serious has there ever been an ashes series where both keepers are so poor?

you really think Carey has been that poor? This mornings drop was for sure, but overall?

 

[Spark]

They've got three and a gully tbf, you can't have them everywhere

 

[91Jmay]

That is a pair of throw downs but he is such a nice striker of the ball.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

What a shot by Brook

 

[Gob]

Fill the ****ing cordon ffs

 

[Spark]

Why are we pitching it up to this bloke?

 

[Starfighter]

Oh stuff you Carey. Should have got your quota of drops out of the way in the last test, when it didn't matter.

 

[91Jmay]

They've got three and a gully tbf, you can't have them everywhere

Yeah that was a bit boomer fast bowler of me.
