5th test the oval

[Jap Stammer]

Age-old England problem - losing wickets in clusters.

 

[Ghfd]

He scores time and time again off that very stroke.

Agreed but a touch wider is his usual glide to third man. That was just cramping him to play the shot

he’s better than that and will be fuming until the second innings

He scores time and time again off that very stroke.

He has scored hundreds and hundreds of runs from that shot and not a word said.

Yet gets out once to it and bed wetters out in force again to have a go.

Thick edge my arse

Aye that probably a fair point was a little close to him

 

[Jap Stammer]

Foakes in for Carey?

 

[PTR]

Almost another. Should have taken that. Thats 2 missed, maybe 3.

 

[zebediah]

Carey lol

 

[Ghfd]

Carey drops another and that was a dolly for a keeper

 

[scotch]

3 dropped catches in 80 minutes, swinging conditions and we are playing at everything

 

[jarrowdiamond]

Could be 5 or 6 down here if the Aussies had of been on their toes in the field.

 

[Discopants91]

Getting ugly this...

 

[forever changes]

Aussies haven’t had to be anywhere near their best in this series. Waft/Stab ball by England is all they need.

 

[Inside Forward]

Root has been crap this series by his standards.

 

[Jap Stammer]

Cummins showing how and where you need to bowl after winning the toss and putting the opposition in under favourable skies.

I do wonder at some of the pissy pants comments on this Cricket Board.

We are 18 months into England’s way of batting.
Why are people surprised at some of the dismissal?
It is the way we bat. In this case we are pushing on because of the weather forecast.
It is NOT surprising.
Sometimes (more often than not to be honest) we score shedloads.
Others we lose wickets.

I’ve gotten used to it. I might suggest that other’s do…..

Three

Root has been crap this series by his standards.

Which by ordinary standards is average, but I agree he’s been disappointing.

He is a world class bowler has been for years, credit where credit due
