5th test the oval


Crawley has had a very good ashes series mind. I didn't have much, if any faith in him to do well. Many others probably didn't either. But he's definitely earned his spot in the side for the foreseeable.
Nass made a great point at OT, remember when a one bad performance in the 90's would mean you were out of the side?. I'd rather have it this way around where you may give someone one chance too many than writing them off prematurely.

one thing I would love one of our bowlers to try to smith or anyone

that came right at the end of a day in 2005. I can’t remember, but there must have been, a better slower ball wicket by an England bowler

Aye I can agree with that completely. I also think Crawley has changed his batting style, ever so slightly, but enough to get him more time at the crease and more runs.

Beauty that. 😎

Sure Archer bowled a peach of a slower ball wicket 2019 Ashes… can’t remember the batsmen like.
 
New gloves and a bat for lasagne who has faced five balls at the crease

if that’s not a piece of piss taking time wasting I don’t know what is

we are way behind the over rate as per, and will walk off in sun light

Will walk off when it's been at its brightest all day. Guaranteed.

Flintoff done a vodcast thing during lock down and he doesn’t half rip piss to Harmy on it about that … says it’s one of the most telegraphed slower balls you’ll ever see and when you pay attention to Harmy when he bowls it he isn’t half right ha :lol:
 
That ball where Broad beat khawaja there

bairstow took it barely carried and that one where Warner edged wood dropping short

I feel he maybe about a foot too deep Bairstow

My favourite England wicket that in terms of the delivery itself. Superb
 
Nasser can’t bring himself to saying that Jimmy has gone on for a series to many

when it goes it goes quick especially with a bowler aged 41

Si
Did nass just say England won the toss ?

I thought cummins did and put England in to bat ?
