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

[The King!]

Plays a glorious drive, head right over the ball, then a out and out slash, head all over the place.

Athers spot on, he doesn't need to try and hit everything

 

[Aussie_boy]

Good chance we might be able to avoid the follow-on here.

The Sydney Thunder would avoid the follow-on here.

 

[Zgope1]

It’s gonna be tough for our batters but …

Root, Ali, Brook and Bairstow are all giveaway wickets for us.

Let’s bat with discipline

 

[ams4crows]

Now on woods stumps please no short stuff

 

[Magma]

please dont bowl bouncers

 

[dumb]

Please don't revert to short stuff

 

[iBeng]

Let's not forget, England have already claimed the moral and spiritual victory this Ashes, and that's all that really matters!

 

[LukeParkerno1]

If we bowl Short to Wood I might throw something

Good length please

 

[The King!]

field to the legside boundary time

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Great fight back, the bowing is a lot better now

 

[Geelong_Bisons_#36]

Can't let the tail wag here.
Less than 250 please

* me you campaigners can type quick.

I've got a victory speech ready to go. CTRL+C / CTRL+V

 

[philreich]

Keep this up, and we should be able to avoid the follow on tonight.

 

[Foucault1989]

Looks like we are going to bowl normally to the tail. Thank god

 

[Santana]

Plays a glorious drive, head right over the ball, then a out and out slash, head all over the place.

The vibes were on though, sometimes you just got to ride with the vibes

 

[cows]

So important we clean up the tail here, cmon lads

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

• Great decision to bowl first
• Some missed opportunities but hasn't affected us as we got wickets soon after
• Great bowling, good change up with Murphy

Not sure why people get so negative

This is the first time this test I think we made the right choice on bowling or batting first

 

[NoWuckingFurries]

Now please DONT BOWL BOUNDERS TO THE TAIL!!!

Nice and full please

 

[grumbleguts]

C’est un paper thin wafer

No, f**k off I'm full.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

A deep point to Wood

I swear you are as dumb as a tool shed

 

[Zgope1]

Credit where it’s due. Cummins thought ahead of the game bringing Hazlewood on

 

[tigland]

Can i come out from under the table? I thought the shy was falling when we sent them in and they were not 5 down in the 1st 6 overs

 

[Moonwatcher]

Ignoring they are 213/7 would all out for 300 justify our decision to bowl?

 

[Mr Meow]

• Great decision to bowl first
• Some missed opportunities but hasn't affected us as we got wickets soon after
• Great bowling, good change up with Murphy

Not sure why people get so negative

Agreed, although Brook did get 79 bonus runs after that absolute soda chance. Everything else has been well contained.

 

[Manbearpig77]

Great fightback.
