5th Test, Oval

[Berwickhillbilly]

Shocked by that.
Dare i say the word LEGEND.
Just hope he can get Warner tomorrow. (After a quick 50)

 

[Steer]

Disappointed - I think he was the best bowler of the series and is bowling really well. Anyway, I hope that he can go out on a high tomorrow. What a great player.

 

[Berwickhillbilly]

If it's possible, i can see him being more fired up than usual when he gets that ball in his hand.

 

[Legz]

I've just learnt he's only got 1 and a half lungs due to being 3 months premature and one not forming fully!!

 

[Mwelolo]

Take note Jimmy

Take note Jimmy

Yes. Not sure what Jimmy’s waiting around for. Even if he takes a 7-fer in the 4th innings he shouldn’t be going to India where we’ll need spin. Those dust bowls are no place for a 41 and a half year old.

 

[Expat Smoggie]

Cummins wins the toss and bowls. First toss he's won this series.

Can England level it?

Tbh I stuck a crazy fiver on a 2-2 draw so I’m hoping that we can somehow get over the line in this one. It would be a fitting end to Stuart Broad’s long and illustrious career.

Tongue in cheek by Jimmy I’d say, especially as Broady is saying this is his last.

Emotional scenes this morning when Broady and Jimmy came out.

And Joel Wilson comes good again for the Aussies.
If you give England players out everytime you have to get one right eventually (only just though).
I am sure his finger is being tied to his leg as we speak so he cant give any lbw's against the Aussies.

 

[NormanbyRed77]

Chances of Broad getting Warner out one last time

 

[Pak_Doo_Ik]

I think this is the best stat ever

Tbf, the Anderson one looked pretty plumb to me. Only DRS made it look closer than it looked in real-time.

He deliberated longer than I would have!

And then Anderson thinks he can play like viv Richard’s and we miss a chance to add another 20 or so broady who can bat !

Did you watch yesterday absolutely embarrassing his finger was going up just about before the Aussies were appealing.
Lost count of the number of times England had his decisions overturned on review
Some of them where missing by 8 inches or so.
Commentators seemed embarrassed was that bad.
As I say if you give them out everytime you will eventually get one right and he did with Anderson.
Aussies not needing to review
anything
England having to review everything
Appalling umpire

 

[On The Bob]

I missed a good chunk of yesterday as made the regrettable decision to attend the match so only caught the watered down highlights.

Fair enough. In the main, I think the umpiring has been good in this series

 

[TeaCider]

Australia have started well.

 

[Chris_Boro]

The pitch is dying. Hopefully spin will take over.

 

[Cardiffdaffs]

Pitch is as placid as it has ever been. 283 is the biggest ever run chase at the Oval

 

[Teesside87]

75-0 @ lunch. Going to be hard getting wickets here
