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

[Molehill]

Robinson was way off the boil earlier in the series. There was a mild hint from Ali Martin in the Guardian that he's not kept up all the fitness work that clearly helped him so much last summer and in the winter.

10 wickets at 25.6 in the first 2 Tests. How is that way off the boil when you're comparing with what Anderson is doing?

Mo not bowling today

Should get about 70 overs in

Moeen ali back to retirement..permanently..age 36 is too old in this younger man's sport - see lyon similar age and out for months

Cloudy conditions today- I dont think aus will get 250, the ball will hoop around.

 

[chris.hinton]

We will then hit 500 in 75 overs to set them 470 to win, Joe Root will then take 8fer as we bowl them out for 88

And Bairstow does a party boy In the Aussie dressing room

If this happened in India, the media and the fans would be crying saying that Cricket in the subcontinent isn’t safe.

There is no place for this type of behaviour in Cricket.

 

[White Ball]

Deck looks good for batting, if Straya can make 450 they will have one hand on a series win.

I thought Ponting was a great catcher, ffs what a dolly

Yeah, but that's only because in India it is sour grapes.

a good example of stats don’t speak the whole story

I was reading CW and missed it, my missus thought it was hilarious

No they don't, but I also think Robinson is deceptive because he appears to be a bit half hearted some of the time.

If Anderson was matching those stats, England would've won the Ashes by now.

 

[Spikey]

probably time to strip London from hosting cricket tbh

Wonder if it was Gary Pratt, still trying to annoy Ponting after all these years.

Pratt would have hit him straight between the eyes surely

 

[91Jmay]

That was one of Jimmy's better overs of the series

That many? Players will be so tired, injury risks all around.

 

[91Jmay]

Marnus really found his off stump again, some great leaves so far he was fencing at earlier in series.

 

[NZTailender]

Labuschagne is such a weird unit

 

[RightArmMystery]

Jimmy bowling nicely so far this morning. Getting it to move off a much better length than yesterday and getting it to zip through. Deserves a wicket.
