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

[Molehill]

Murphy?

Literally no comparison

Swepson is the 3rd ranked spinner in Queensland

Ironically, Swepson has literally just taken a wicket for Glamorgan.

 

[Spark]

The **** has that done

 

[RightArmMystery]

That's very well bowled at 89mph, but a pretty ordinary shot

 

[91Jmay]

Great ball, seamed a fair way. It's a pretty meh shot but can't do much about it really.

Yeah Stokes has made that ball look a hell of a lot better than it actually was

 

[Molehill]

What was that shot from Stokes? Good ball maybe, but what on earth was he doing? It's gone gloomy though so maybe moving around a bit more?

 

[Daemon]

What a peach

Probably just about survives if he uses the full face. Looks like a misjudgement in line as much as anything else

I honestly don't think it moved that much. A little but not enough to justify the shot he tried

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Oooh timber. Big pole that. Game on

 

[CartyDurham]

What an absolute gem that ball was

hanging on in there Australia .

 

[GotSpin]

Stork!

 

[ripper868]

Great nut from Starc,

But gee Brook played 2 good shots a couple hours ago

 

[wpdavid]

Starc will fancy his chances against Bairstow, won't he.

 

[Alex0paul]

Get this arrogant **** out quickly please

 

[kevinw]

Not a backs against the wall situation so hard to expect Stokes to be well motivated

 

[Kirkut]

Yeah Stokes has made that ball look a hell of a lot better than it actually was

That compensates for the dropped catch of Brook, scores equal.

 

[morgieb]

**** that moved. Definitely not the best shot though.

 

[social]

Amazing what happens when you pitch the ball up to Stokes

 

[Qlder]

He isn’t a better bowler than leach

Is this the Leach in your mind, or the Leach that averages 34.18 in Test cricket (Murphy averages 25.81)

 

[Spark]

Not sure it's any brighter out there than it was a few days ago at OT...
