Ashes 5 test - The Oval

[TopCat]

Shame, batted well. Has looked better as the series has gone on. Too bad he is 33 really.

He can play on for 5 more years

 

[Far Tibetan Mountain]

Excellent innings there Joe. Shame to miss the ton!

 

[The warthog]

We’d have to be in all sorts of bother to be relying on a 38 year old Denly.

 

[Sharpshooter]

He can be England's Chris Rodgers and stick around a few years.

Rodgers at age 38 averaged 60 in England in 2015 in 9 innings. Finished with a career average of 42 in the end.

I hope so, looks like he has a good mentality and character. He gives you chances early on like. If he puts away the drive a bit early on then he could do well enough for a couple more years.

Jimmy wants to play till 40 as well. Sitting at 37

It's not like England haven't had 40 even 50 year old cricketers before!!!

 

[Mainze]

400+ lead please.

Plays spin well something we really don't have for the subcontinent too.

Getting a bit carried away there, he had a worse average than Keaton Jennings before this match.

Getting a bit carried away there, he had a worse average than Keaton Jennings before this match.

But by getting a 90 odd he keeps his place in the side really.

Or at least on the plane to New Zealand.

 

[Voice of fair play]

I'll take a 350 lead now

Want a bit more than that mind

Probably.

Frustrating both he and Buttler worked out how to bat when their place on the plane was in jeopardy.

 

[TopCat]

Urgh. Filth from Bairstow. The bloke is shot and needs resting

 

[mackembhoy]

Why did they even need to check that?

Bairstow definitely needs to go and play red ball cricket domestically somewhere for a while.

 

[Mainze]

Nothing of note from Bairstow again.

 

[GordonMuchallNo1Fan]

Useless Bairstow

 

[Jack Torrance]

Haway Curran

 

[TopCat]

Need to be careful here. 400 lead is required

 

[The warthog]

That should be it for Bairstow you’d think.

 

[Julio_Schwarz]

That should be it for Bairstow you’d think.

Doubt they will drop Bairstow (personally think they should, it should be one of Bairstow and Buttler, not both). Root will get his mate selected.
