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

[91Jmay]

Two half volleys but first is a gorgeous shot.

 

[Darwin Award]

Wonderful straight drive to bring up The Oval record for Smith.

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Genuinely love how much Bazball triggers people.

some us live for the ugly dot balls and slow grinding chess sessions mate

 

[91Jmay]

Reckon Root for the customary last over could be decent, see if it tweaks at all.

 

[Spark]

Looks a lot brighter now.

 

[Darwin Award]

Now Khawaja getting in amongst the run orgy..

 

[Daemon]

Genuinely love how much Bazball triggers people.

only extremely dull people are not entertained by bazball

however only extremely dim people believe it’s the best thing in cricket since covered pitches

Yeah, it's just a more aggressive variant of cricket than previously seen with a cutesy nickname. That is literally it

 

[KungFu_Kallis]

Seriously though.. Wood falling over in his follow through thousands of times in his career is one of the strangest things. No wonder he is always injured. Bowling that fast he must hit the deck pretty hard.

 

[Son Of Coco]

135 clicks from Jimmy isn't bad.

The longer this series goes on the more it seems like Bazball consists of nothing more than 'batting like Baz.'

If that's the case they were doing a pretty good job last Ashes, with Rory Burns' first over effort

 

[Silver Silva]

Sir Don's long standing record has been broken at The Oval ..
Don't see anyone breaking Smith's record in our lifetime.

It's superficially entertaining in the same way some people think Marvel movies are the best thing eva
