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

[Sarcoidevo]

Stokes dropped the moral Ashes

 

[ABAB]

De Grandhomme was attempting to go for a run (even if there wasn't a run there), it's incomparable.

Clearly he wasn't sure if he'd held on to it long enough to constitute a catch today. I don't see how referring that to the third umpire to check is hypocritical.

Isha has spoken so be quiet and I though De Grandhomme was injured when he left his crease when the ball wasn't dead?

 

[El Doederino]

Losing a review for a failed review

What’s the argument for not losing the review?

Thought it’s a pretty straightforward outcome

 

[A Pom]

Look at his face.

He knew.

He knew that he'd potentially screwed it up.

Do don't genuinely think he was 100% certain he'd dropped it then reviewed it hoping they'd completely forget to check the catch...?

 

[showusyacunningt]

Stop bowling short to Stokes

 

[MarcMaverick]

ummm..... Im not sure you are familliar with the rules of Cricket....

Neither are the Poms.

It's a moral issue

It didn't go his way

I've been on a 16 night journey to Karratha and back, with very sh*t internet reception, and not much access to channel 9 in the Jayco!

Along the Gibb River Road or via Fitzroy Crossing?

Can I have some of that copium you're smoking?

 

[The Passenger]

We are down to the faintest of faint drizzles about 5km north of the ground.

But at the ground itself, according to CricInfo

2.52pm Gnasher chimes in from the Oval: "Still steady rain here. As you were for now. We've now started losing overs."

He left his crease to start running after it deflected off his pad. Unfortunately for him it deflected to Pope.

No one suggested Bairstow wasn't out legally.

For whatever reason, much of the questioning around the Bairstow stumping was around whether the spirit of cricket had been somehow breached and not the legality of a pretty obvious stumping.

Sounds ... er ... nice ...

 

[Foucault1989]

What's the weather situation? I'd rather a camera in the ground not a replay

 

[Peter Bixley]

Steady rain at the Oval for about another hour. We're losing overs. I reckon we'll be out there again at 4:30-5pm (1:30-2am Eastern).

 

[Aussie pie]

I hope we throw out the anchor and play out a boring draw, that would totally piss off the Bazball brigade. Take 2-1 victory and retain the Ashes and claim moral superiority.

 

[ptrg]

Sky showing update "steady rain still, at least another 45mins"

Steady rain, possibly for another hour.

He left his crease to start running after it deflected off his pad. Unfortunately for him it deflected to Pope.

Like how Bairstow left his crease after the ball went past him. Unfortunately for him it wasn't dead and Carey stumped him.

Yes, he was so embarrassed in the moment he completely lost the entire bullshit bravado regarding the spirit of cricket, not caring about the result but the spectacle and tried to be a sly dog and risk a dodgy decision by the ump.

He’s honestly provided Broad like ammunition for the rest of his career, utterly hilarious for Australian supporters.

In the words of Broad “this is all you will ever be remembered for now”

 

[1989]

Sad that the Ashes are finishing, but won't miss watching the same television commercials being played over and over again.

 

[to1994]

He knew he'd dropped it but hoped it would get upheld on a technicality, a bit like your World Cup win.

 

[A Pom]

Right, know it'll devastate you all but given people seem to be regularly question my whereabouts thought I'd better let you all know that I'm off for a bit! Wouldn't want you to worry.
