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

Ponting not there anymore?

If we can survive to lunch I'd have probably just about taken this being put in. Been some sketchy batting/bowling and fielding.

That is a ridiculous shot, just stand and delivery not even a long hop.

 

[hazsa19]

Cummins to bowl himself unchanged for the rest of the innings.

 

[Starfighter]

Carey might well have dropped the match.

 

[91Jmay]

lol wtf that is amazing batting, not sure there was a particularly bad ball there.

 

[Qlder]

4 down at lunch for Australia to be ahead

Bump for the 4th wicket in final over

 

[Molehill]

We know that, he knows that, 90% of people giving him **** at grounds/ social media/ passing in the street know that. I wouldn’t want 20,000 people calling me a **** and I think it’d get to me.

Plenty of keepers would lap it up though, Marsh and Healy wouldn't have given two ****s.

The drop is starting to look expensive now though if Brook carries on like this.

 

[Starfighter]

**** off Dinesh. Go boil your head.

 

[RightArmMystery]

Wild this from Brook. 3 beautiful shots to end the over. Lucky to still be there but played some superb shots.

 

[morgieb]

Brook looking really scary. Dropping him hurts like hell.

 

[Spark]

Carey is definitely having a low key shocker here. Apart from the drop he hasn't been clean at all, grassed a lot of balls.

 

[Molehill]

Interesting comparisons to the WTC Final, Aus were 70 odd for 3 before the number 5 came in and smashed it around to change the course of the game. Can't remember if he was also dropped.....

Been absolute rattled since test 2 especially his batting

 

[91Jmay]

Lol that was literally just a block and it absolutely exploded off the bat.

 

[loterry1994]

Guess we got no faith in Murphy again

 

[Skipper Pup]

Carey is definitely having a low key shocker here. Apart from the drop he hasn't been clean at all, grassed a lot of balls.

Few beers after the 4th test, perhaps...

 

[91Jmay]

Reckon that is just about our session, 1/3 of the way to a good score.

 

[Shri]

can't wait to see brook make me laugh in india later this year

 

[halba]

why keep picking murphy and not bowl him? Why not pick Neser and actually bowl?
Clueless Captain and Selectors.

 

[Molehill]

Considering they were put in and found themselves 76-3, that has to be England's session. But could easily go either way after lunch.

 

[hazsa19]

Impressive counter attack this. In keeping with the series (OT aside) expect Australia to take a wicket straight after lunch.
