*Official* Fifth Test at The Oval

How has Woakes looked? Completely ordinary?
Yeah pretty much. His first spell wasn't as bad as his figures suggested and it's a flat wicket at the moment but he hasn't quite looked a Test bowler. He's supposed to be the fifth bowler in this side though and he's looked roughly up to that role.

Watson has proved quite a few people wrong.. Was funny to see people criticize him so much recently, the guy is exceptionally talented and will serve Australia for long..
Let's not get carried away; people were saying similar stuff after he scored his last century in 2010. We can't afford to wait another 3 years for his fourth. It's a start in the right direction after a long time in the wrong one, but that's all it is.

To be fair I don't think anyone actually denies his talent...

Steven Smith might be far from perfect, but only Michael Clarke has passed fifty more than Smith in Tests for Australia this year #Ashes

no he's basically perfect
