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

need to get the RR back to 5.

 

[morgieb]

Starting to run away from us.

Brook/Moeen probably the types to bowl short to.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

you really think Carey has been that poor? This mornings drop was for sure, but overall?

Had 2 good games then has been crap since the Bairstow incident. Missed run outs, drops etc...

 

[morgieb]

Oh stuff you Carey. Should have got your quota of drops out of the way in the last test, when it didn't matter.

Genuinely wonder if the whole furore around that dismissal has got in his head. Been struggling since then.

Weak mentally if it has. He did nothing wrong.

Carey is weighed down by been so awful with the bat thus far. Can't average 23 unless you're being other worldly with gloves.

 

[Gob]

Well you drop sitters and this happens

I have no problem with MMarsh being in the team but the fact is that he’s the third best all rounder in his own state

He was visited by the Spirit of Cricket, who swapped his hands for Bairstow's.

I don’t know what I’m basing this on but he doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who’d enjoy being in the spotlight/ villain figure.

At least he didn't swap their barnets.

He hasn't been great, its just hard to tell because he's being compared to Bairstow who terrible behind the stumps.

 

[Uppercut]

Nah Carey loves a free haircut.

 

[morgieb]

Surely we should look at bringing Murphy on.

 

[loterry1994]

The bowlers have been good since after the opening spell bloody shame our fielding hasn’t been up to standard

 

[hazsa19]

Weak mentally if it has. He did nothing wrong.

We know that, he knows that, 90% of people giving him **** at grounds/ social media/ passing in the street know that. I wouldn’t want 20,000 people calling me a **** and I think it’d get to me.

Somewhere along the road they've managed to swap roles. Bairstow was much improved at OT.

I do think the Lord's run out may have got to him, he doesn't seem like the most confrontational type. Ironic that he couldn't hit the stumps with any attempt against Bairstow at OT.

Cummins, Smith & McDonald are completely clueless so don’t expect them to do anything logical

 

[halba]

back to losing the plot. typical.
