[Cricket] England v Australia- 5th Ashes Test- The Oval- Thursday 12th September 2019

Loving Jofra's bowling ... 96mph!!! Boys on fire.

Must be said that odious **** Wade is standing up to be counted, not shying away.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Knock Wades head off Jofra!

That's the spirit eh. A bit more concussion and a bit more rain and the Ashes were there for England's taking

I'd do away with spin, stick Broad on and keep Jofra at the other end.

Just our injured best bowler in home conditions away from it being our ashes if you ask me, a sandpaper’s width if you might.

Broad bowling absolute junk, need to bowl spinners this is getting a little hairy don’t want to allow them to score quickly and get this down to under 120 or so with 4 wickets still left.

The reverse curse worked, Cummins nicks off, 7 down.

Perhaps time for Curran or Woakes to step up or even a couple of overs from Stokes if he is able.

 

[The Wizard]

Root is bowling some rippers

**** Off you dozy convict...

And another one! Spinners doing the damage as Leach gets Lyon 263-9.

Don't think the extra 30 minutes will be needed...

 

[The Wizard]

Everything root did today turned to gold! Game over, snags another good catch.

 

[BensGrandad]

Only 1 to go.

 

[The Wizard]

And that’s the ashes, it’s been a pleasure fellas. Enjoyable series, some great moments some rubbish draw the fair result. Been a great summer of cricket overall.

Hopefully this doesn’t paper over the cracks and we can get our test team in better shape for the away tours coming.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

I don't care if the cheats kept the Ashes, what a great test that was. Oval is generally kind to us. But who decided to play in Manchester in September? 'kin idiots.

 

[Weststander]

Joe Root is a great fielder. Lovely catch on his ‘wrong’ hand.

In the field, where he should be, bloody useless at slip.

Questions need to be asked about why Anderson played in the first Test, if Archer had played the whole series things might have been very different?

Archer was injured, wasn't he?

Officially Man of the Match in this Test.

 

[Sussex Nomad]

I guess I have to get back to footy now, loved the cricket summer so much.

 

[BensGrandad]

2-2 covers the fact of how s..t our batting was in general and now time to rethink and plan for the winter tour.
