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

[nwgull]

And another

Labuschange c Crawley b Wood 13

169/3

Labuschange has had a shocking series. Started badly and getting riled by the crowd since the 2nd test showing that the pressure has got to him. Boring Aussie ****.

Come on England, make hay while the sun doesn't shine.

He's made starts without going on, but I wouldn't go as far as to say "shocking".
He scored a possibly match saving hundred in the last test match.

Broad getting plenty of swing.

 

[The Wizard]

Anderson stinking the place out… again

 

[Ethelwulf]

Get Anderson off now he is really over the hill

 

[Ethelwulf]

Broad getting plenty of swing.

And Anderson not

 

[Mo Gosfield]

Anderson stinking the place out… again

When will the management admit that as good as he has been, he is now over the hill. No surprise at 41. He has lost that little bit of extra zip.
Surely, a joint announcement with his bowling mate would have made sense but statements that he intends to carry on fill me with concern that he will knock the edge of a superb legacy. If he went out now, we would all say...well done....well timed....good luck.

England need to bring that Lunch guy on, usually good for a couple of wickets after his spell.

They’re going to bloody win this aren’t they

Under 150 now.

Looking very likely. It´s a pity that we were sloppy in the first two tests and unlucky with the weather at Manchester overall England have played some great cricket and ought to have won the series but have to accept that this Aussie team knows how to grind out a win.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

We're lost, apparently

 

[dazzer6666]

Stokes knew that wasn’t out……..

 

[Pevenseagull]

What the actual f***

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

Stokes dropped it and he knew it.
Why does he think we shouldn’t lose a review ?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Stokes knew that wasn’t out……..

Its a strange one. If Stokes had only held on to it as long as he did, but more deliberately threw it up / away in celebration, it would have stood.

I agree with the decision though. Bugger.

 

[Eeyore]

Stokes dropped it and he knew it.
Why does he think we shouldn’t lose a review ?

I really don't know why. It's all very unfortunate. But no catch, so lost review.

I think we've just thigh slapped the series there.

 

[banjo]

Looks like there could be some rain around 2-3:30.

 

[Mo Gosfield]

Looks like there could be some rain around 2-3:30.

Not sure if that is good news or not. It is likely gonna be 1 -2 or 1 - 3 either way.
