The DECIDER - 5th Test Match, The Oval - England vs Australia

[Mellotron]

This is potentially a MASSIVE innings' in Bells' career. Please get a ton.

 

[Trigger]

Awful shot by Collywobbles, 176/3

 

[countrygull]

Big job for Trott to do

 

[Normal Rob]

hold on to your hats - this is gonna be a bumpy ride.

Come on boys - make us proud.

 

[Common as Mook]

Why does Collingwood not get more stick? He's only had one innings of note this whole series.

 

[The Wizard]

f*** SAKE IAN BELL

 

[vulture]

bell gone for 72 181-4

 

[Trigger]

T'ra Ding Dong, 181/4 on a great batting strip, good work England!

 

[jordanseagull]

1 century in the whole series!?

 

[The Spanish]

he would do if he was southern/colonial/posh. 'gritty' northern cricketers always get more rope.


edit - from the public, not the selectors

 

[Common as Mook]

Why does Collingwood not get more stick in general? Even at his best he's boring and mediocre.

For once, I agree with you. He annoyingly gets a score just when his place is under threat

 

[Pavilionaire]

How many times does Matt Prior keep having to bail out the top order?

10 more an he'll be England's second-highest runscorer with just one innings left in the series. Oh, and 1 ton, 14 50s for England now - one of these two's got to score big.

trott and prior living by the seat of their pants

trott and prior living by the seat of their pants

Agreed shiny pants time....

Or should they be flying...

 

[Trigger]

229/5, Prior fails.

 

[vulture]

poor shot by prior

 

[sten_super]

Shit. Gotta be looking towards 350 then. It's going to be very very very difficult to win from here.

 

[Si Gull]

Another disaster in the offing - the pitch not looking as flat and easy as everyone thought - until the Aussies go out to bat, no doubt. Clueless.
