2019 5th Ashes Test 12-17 September - The Oval

[010203]

It's a little hard to believe that Smith has never hit a 4th innings century.

 

[Mateyman]

Why is Healy saying then Mitch Marsh is on next as though that's some kind of positive?

 

[Cuzz09]

When we play back in Australia we win 5-0

I don't understand why people think putting a picture of the Simpsons and applying it to a sporting context is the peak of comedy.

Has got one following on on day 5, effectively 4th innings

Had to do it

I still can't get over the fact that we retained the Ashes with our openers averaging single digits and Wade batting at no 5.

As someone said earlier without Smith we'd have lost this 4-0.

Broad against Wade...

This won’t take long

 

[HBF]

Shot Wadey

 

[k31th]

good shot, Wade

 

[big bootaaaaah]

Nice shot Wade

 

[Balls In]

Warner and Harris dont pick themselves but for the love of god how bad can they be? Bancroft and Khawaja even are light years better..

What if we somehow make it to 3/200, do we believe?

And if they didn’t have Stokes?

Both batting sides are rubbish, both bowling sides are very good.

We have Smith they don’t. That’s the difference

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

good shot, Wade

That'll be his one for the innings, still probably the third best of those tried in the top six. Arguably fourth.

I think the right thing to do would be subdued like a footy team with a draw, or who won the game but missed the finals by %.

Recovery to force a draw of the series. I think celebration in order

Nope, our next batsmen - Marsh Paine Cummins Siddle Lyon Hazlewood. Very very weak there

We won’t be 3/200...

And we have no pure batsmen after these two and that is generous calling Wade one

 

[k31th]

That'll be his one for the innings...

ye of little faith

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

I wouldn't be too sure at 3/350. Mind you, 9/200 is pushing things with this team.

Pretty much going as expected. Geez those two openers were bloody terrible. Some good bowling tho just the same. This test was over the moment England got a par score of 300. Decision to bowl was poor as was the "big drink" after retaining the Ashes. A Professional team (where was the leadership Langer and Paine)would have said Ok lads lets go hard at this fifth test win 3-1 and absolutely smash the drinks afterwards. Very poor close to the Tour in my view. We come away with a good bowling side and a couple of batters who played Test Cricket. The rest can basically ahhahh .Who gives a toss. If Warner gets rewarded with selection in the First Test I would be amazed. His Mate Warne...what a tool pumped him up today but to no avail. Said what a class act Warner is. This series begs to differ and so does the last one he played in. You can be the best bowler of all time and still be a complete GOOSE.

Warne is the living proof of that
