[Cricket] The Ashes - England v Australia - 5th Test, Oval, July 27-31, 2023

[Greg Bobkin]

You can blame me for this - I started watching just before Bristow got out!

 

[Jeremiah]

Anyone know how many runs our lower order have put on over the series compared to the Aussies ?

We seem to throw it away with slogging.

 

[Eeyore]

Aussie's will take their time here because they don't want an over at the end of the day.

 

[maltaseagull]

Murphy 101*

and Wood holes out... 379-9, lead 367

Can just see Starc who got easy wickets this session getting the winning runs tomorrow or the day after. Grr

 

[Hugo Rune]

Just have a smash now. Could easily get a 400 run lead.

I wanted a 400+ lead. Not going to get one now.m as Anderson is injured.

 

[A1X]

263-9 highest score to win at the Oval in a test (the Gilbert Jessop game 1902)

 

[A1X]

Australia bowled all day and won’t even get to the new ball, disgraceful really

 

[Titanic]

Close of play, Day Three

England 389-9, lead 377

 

[KZNSeagull]

Another appalling umpiring decision.

389-9 at the close. Lead by 377

ARM BEFORE WICKET


Joel Wilson AKA Stevie Wonder making an appearance today.

 

[Eeyore]

Looks like someone decided to have a word on the pavilion steps. All very silly.

ARM BEFORE WICKET


Joel Wilson AKA Stevie Wonder making an appearance today.

I've seen bum before wicket before. Short batsman crouching. It's easy to forget that any part of the body other than bat or glove is fair game.

The funniest dismissal I ever got was on a feather bed at Glynde Park when I was young. The other kid was really short and I dropped a half tracker. He ducked and it bounced over his head onto the wicket.

 

[KZNSeagull]

Broad RETIRING after this test!!

 

[SweatyMexican]

Broad retiring…didn’t expect that!

 

[JamesAndTheGiantHead]

What?!

 

[indy3050]

Wow Stuart! A fine cricket man.

 

[LamieRobertson]

WHOA…that is a bit of a shock …thanks Stuart Broad for the great cricket.

 

[Eeyore]

Blimey, didn't see that coming.

Good for him though. He's made his living from it and has served us well.

5fer tomorrow please.

 

[Bodian]

Mollie didn't tell Aggers that at tea-time. Does she know that's the last time she'll see him in his Test Batting Outfit?

Unless they play on tomorrow of course.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Broad OUT!
