5th Ashes Test England v Australia July 27-31 1930hrs @ The Oval

[Plugger35]

Simon Le Bon in the crowd today, another great England headband wearer.

No doubt Broad was a big Duran Duran fan as a kid like me.

 

[allrighty]

Warner's feet movement is just off. Enough to get him out. He is cooked mentally if not fizzically

 

[The King!]

I think with Warner and how he’s going you wouldn’t be upset with him getting out to a ‘loose’ shot. He’s a walking wicket anyway. The only chance he really has is putting some pressure on England and knocking a few off before lunch.

I hope he just plays his natural game and that is to take it to the attack

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Positive intent has been great

 

[Tassieboy]

Old Warner would have crashed that through the covers.

Has lost his eye and unfortunately the way he bats when his eye went we were going to see poorer returns

Warner runs half way down the pitch then yells no runs. Gives me the brace and bits.

 

[The King!]

geez riding his luck

Same way batsmen’s run aggregate goes up when they aren’t making 50s and 100s.

If it means that much to you, fine, but anyone that has ever watched him and made a proper neutral analysis knows he’s a very intelligent bowler who is accurate but relies on swing to be at his best, and when it’s not swinging, he simply is just a good, decent bowler.

You still haven’t answered the question about how he has achieved a series victory in India when the ball doesn’t swing and similarly in Australia when so many others haven’t?

Sky saying Daniel in fact finished with a dot off Terry Alderman who is in the crowd today.

Broad averaged 23.96 when he was hit but his peak average was 29.56 after 43 tests. He declined very sharply after the hit of course.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Warner used to be the original Bazballer from this era. Now he’s just a sitting duck

 

[Plugger35]

Mark Knopfler also in the house today.

 

[Kappa]

No, interacting with you is not enjoyable.

Then why are you doing it?

 

[troybe]

If only Duckett were taller he may have caught that

 

[The King!]

Warner runs half way down the pitch then yells no runs. Gives me the brace and bits.

Glad he and Bairstow don't bat together, both run half way and turn back every second ball and yell no run

 

[MinerBoy]

For all the talk of Warner and his position, it will be interesting to see what sort of runs we get from whoever does replace he and Usman because there are no stand out candidates.

To his credit stokes always has fielders in the right spot. That's runs most innings in the 5th over

Fizzically - just wow

 

[western royboy]

Just thought Warner’s balance looks a little off

 

[Torz]

Fizzically - just wow

His carbonation levels are off the charts.

 

[Kappa]

Fizzically - just wow

Stop bullying people. What's wrong with you tonight? You're normally such a good bloke.

 

[The King!]

Keep rotating the stike cmon boys

 

[the_interloper]

Definitely been a lot of fun but i think i enjoyed the last England Ashes more, this has been incredibly close but i think the overall level of play has been disappointing on both sides at times.

Yeah I wouldn't say it's been the best standard series but it has certainly been fun to watch (easier to say when we've retained the Ashes I guess)

 

[jmac70]

Then why are you doing it?

Because you keep throwing out the bait, and like a fool I take it.

 

[HK_Hawk]

C'mon. Warner getting bogged down and tentative that over after a decent first few overs. Get back into a positive mind set, mate.
