Decent session, the platform's there now. I'm just a little worried that the runs are hardly going to flow with these 2 in.
The 5th Investec Ashes Test, England v Australia, The Oval 21-25.08.13
- Thread starter Basil Fawlty
- Start date
Got something to say or just want fewer pesky ads? Join us... 😊
I think it's now;
Swann 25
Harris 21
Anderson 21
Broad 18
Siddle 17
Swann 25
Harris 21
Anderson 21
Broad 18
Siddle 17
Money on Harris getting a jug this innings?
I've got a fiver @ 11/4 on Harris to be top Aus bowler in this innings, but need to hope they share the wickets, so he wins that with 3, so he doesn't get too near Swann, for top series bowler! (£10 @ 9/2)
I'm hoping that England bat for 2 days, so that Harris only gets one innings

strong and stable with me, or...
two shit wickets. Cook a horrible waft at a wide full ball, Root sweeping straight into the trap they set. Nothing in this pitch, bloodyhell.

Murray Goodwin passes 1000 runs for the season at Glamorgan. Either the change of scenery has done him good or division 2 is a lot less competitive....but anyway well done Muzza.

Bit of both I suspect. Kerrigan, who has been taken apart in this match is one of the leading bowlers in Div 2 this year. Good luck to Muzza though, a fine servant for Sussex. That innings that single handedly won us the 50 over thing that year (I realise this is not particuarly specific) was a once in a lifetime thing.

We appear to be going nowhere again. 150 from 72 overs, new ball due in 8.

Brilliant batting England. 176 in 80 painful overs, still 116 short of the follow and now the new ball. 3 down on a wicket that has nothing.
Pathetic. Absolutely pathetic.

We have managed to score 132 runs in about 4 1/2 hours. In the last two tests we have handed the Aussies some fantastic psychological support, they now know that they can out bat us and also that they can restrict, constrict in fact, our run scoring. Instead of seeking to dominate with bat and ball we seek to hang on or contain. We are bereft of ideas and guidance.
Let's make the most of this Ashes series as I can't see us holding on to them much longer than the 4rd Test in Melbourne, thats if we can survive Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.
