5th test the oval



looks pretty decent tomorrow in the playing hours period
Monday looks very dodgy, Sunday could be showers, 5/1 for the draw may be a bit of good bet
The way England play it could bat for 50 overs at 6s and then declare

I think we will get a definitive result here but I may get on depending where we are at tea tomorrow

wanted to send a pm but you don’t receive them but you tempted me and it was 11/2 at coral

:lol: :lol: :lol: I’m fixated on you being old

I think it’s old bob as an avatar Sorry

7/1 on the exchanges. Nor man, I’m just a bairn.
 
Those two catches today will live long in my memory

the Waco kid had to be at his absolute sharpist and Stokes made that boundary catch look like a walk in the park plucking apples

amazing stuff

now I hope that inspires them two to score big and quickly tomorrow
 
If this ends 2-2 it’s a pretty fair reflection imo. Too much has been made of the toss. They won this one and we are ahead in the game. The toss at Manchester was barely worth winning and Headingley was a toss was where Cummins admitted it saved him a headache. It was a pitch that stayed pretty much the same from beginning to end and the scored reflected that.

I would not disagree if it ends up 2-2. Two fairly ordinary sides with a splattering of high quality in either side evenly matched

Biggest issue for me is England, specifically some players were undercooked so lacked match sharpness in tests 1 and 2. Once England settled and got into their groove it was too much damage to claw back but people can now see how ordinary Australia are so kicking themselves, blaming the weather. In a 5 test match series in England expecting no test to be rain affected is a bit far fetched IMO
