    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    Catch taken! :toot:

    Yeah when Overton is bowling it's going wide outside off and wide down leg.

    They'll probably be fine tbh.

    OVERTON SELECTION JUSTIFIED

    5th Test (The Oval) - 31st July to 4th August

    Why has this mediocre bowler been picked for Tests? -> because he's a decent lower order batsman in domestic T20s. Like, this should be a joke, but I'm actually not sure of any other reasons?

    They are in deep trouble, yes.

    This appears to be Not Our Day.

    Good call

    I guess they're worried about Tongue and Atkinson's workloads? Doesn't bode well though.

    By "traditional" Bazball innings I see you mean "the sort of innings people have been saying for years is a natural product of Bazball but in reality rarely happens".

    What we learned from the 5th Test

    With the current holder of the Compton Miller Trophy looking likely to be ruled out of the tour (😥) England desperately needs to get its Carse in gear.

    TBF the implied context was "You can't get me out unless I reverse ramp an outswinger straight to the keeper for some reason." Which proved to be true.

    A good job our listed #10 averages 97 with the bat in Tests.

    I'm not entirely sure who the second man in our two-man attack is. Or is it all the non-Atkinson bowlers added together?

    Slightly different vibes this session.

    If Carse can get fully fit he'll be an asset too, haven't seen the best of him this home summer.

    With hindsight he'd have sat out Old Trafford and played this one every time. Just burned himself out on the wrong pitch.

    Good to see that Sundar had the decency to get out to the bowler.

    The only ethical thing for Gill to do here is declare. Surely Karun Nair and Akash Deep don't want to score hundreds off of Josh Tongue and Jamie Overton.
