*Official* Fifth Test at The Oval

[Pothas]

Think I preferred it when Trott got to 40 quickly before getting out.

[Furball]

Booo.

[91Jmay]

Yeah good decision that is. That's the thing with Starc, always the threat of getting it in the perfect area even when he isn't bowling well. Australia have a big chance here, lucky tea is only 5 minutes away.

[Spark]

I wouldn't take the new ball just yet here. Really feels like a wicket is coming.

Is it worth taking the new ball with the slowness of the pitch, the appearance of spin and the fact that these batsmen are tied down?

Uppercut ffs

i see no reason to take the new ball now but clarke will view differently.

Don't do a TB and bowl pies yeah Starc

Umpires call this?

ump's call imo

cw at its finest

[MW1304]

Trott more shocked that Starc bowled one in the vague vicinity of the stumps with the new ball than anything.

Edit: Ah yes fair, second new ball.

[ajdude]

might go to bed now, hope to see the 4th wicket fall when i get home from work tomorrow night

[flibbertyjibber]

Don't know why it was reviewed and not sure why it took so long to give. Painful innings from Trott.

[Cabinet96]

Don't let Woakesy get exposed to the new ball

[jackbyrne91]

Cricketing logic being applied here. Why don't England send a nightwatchman out here? Why is the end of the day different from the end of session? Break in play is a break in play no?

[Spark]

oh this is juicy

[jackbyrne91]

Lancs fan from Reading, another fertang perchance?

Moved down to Reading from Stockport about four weeks ago. Love and all that.

Why do people suddenly not know about the Starc second new ball thing?
