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

[Spark]

Fair play to him, this has been a good spell. Deserved that wicket.

Took the wife out for dinner earlier to make her happy so I could spend the rest of the day watching the match.

Came back home to a beeping fridge which I had left open so now we have to throw stuff out. Not sure when it’s safe for me to turn the TV on again.

 

[Molehill]

Perth could be pretty wild tbh. Hopefully Cummins gets a fine third man in because there could be a looot of balls going in that area at catchable height.

The way the ball flies at Perth, I'd be more thinking the crowd are in danger.

Anyway, Crawley's luck runs out, but a decent knock. Pleased to see Krishna adopt the "don't be a ****" wicket celebration.

 

[Spark]

Nas clearly not paying much attention to Tests here the last few summers as 300 first innings would win a loooot of games here these days

 

[Spark]

Geez what kind of **** do you have to say to get Joe Root that pissed?

 

[RossTaylorsBox]

"you have some questions to answer"

 

[Molehill]

Hmm, Krishna deciding that 'not being a ****' wasn't a strategy to stick to.

 

[Molehill]

Geez what kind of **** do you have to say to get Joe Root that pissed?

Not sure I've ever seen him that animated, or even close to it.

Am watching with sound off while pretending to pay attention to meetings and was wondering the same thing

 

[Howe_zat]

Let's be sure to take a moment to get upset about the dialogue we've imagined.

Think the last time I recall him getting genuinely angry on field was at Jack Leach for bowling a no ball when they could have had Steve Smith out during the 2019 Ashes for a mere 120-odd

 

[Athlai]

Probably told Root that he prefers his oats with yoghurt.

 

[Spark]

Not a high bar but this is by far the best spell I've seen Prasidh bowl. Maybe should pick fights more often

 

[Daemon]

Gotta love the worlds worst bowler stare down the worlds best

 

[centurymaker]

The constant need to say something/anything probably annoyed him.

 

[kevinw]

I think Siraj needs to come on to cool the temperature down.

Somehow he's been good.

 

[Daemon]

This has done too much I think

 

[Spark]

Geez that looks mighty close on replay

EDIT: Yeah, back pad did him in

 

[BazBall21]

Pope can't play movement coming back in. His inside edge gets beaten constantly.
