Ashes 5 test - The Oval

[LD19SAFC]

Stokes

 

[TopCat]

This really has been excellent from England. This was (is) such a crucial session and we have bossed it. Bat sensibly for rest of the day, have a swing tomorrow morning and the game is ours

 

[Mainze]

This is f***ing great

 

[Jack Torrance]

Any point in taking these risky singles

 

[TopCat]

I'd love to see Denly get his ton here. He deserves it for the graft he's put in of late

 

[Voice of fair play]

Think he’ll bat at 3 in the winter with a proper opener and root at 4.

Where is this mysterious proper opener coming from?

If he scores a hundred against this attack would leave Denly opening

Aye, if it ain't broke don't fix it.
I don't like Root at 3, but it's needs must at the moment

Yep, that’s it spot on, think we would all have Root four if we had a really good 3, fact is we haven’t so team needs him at 3.

Excellent session England. One more like that and you're saved the series

 

[Mr Redknapp]

Bumble has gone off the shallow end.

Bumble has gone off the shallow end.

I DO wonder what the point of these Bumble films are. What does that add to the coverage?

Tea on Sunday is well on now.

My head is on a swivel with this and safc winning

 

[Sharpshooter]

So baring no collapse from here, what will England declare on?

Minimum of 400 you would think given it still looks a decent wicket, a couple of big partnerships with Smith could see them chase 350, so perhaps 450-500 (if England get there).

Bat sensibly until close and get 350 ahead.
Get an extra 20-30 tomorrow morning then open teh shoulders
Ideally I'd like 450 and 5 sessions

Unlucky Ben, well batted.

Was a jaffa.

Everyone turned their gaze on Accrington then. Nice dull second half

Good innings from Stokes. Still 6 wickets in tact but only one more batsman in the pavilion.

 

[TopCat]

ahhhhhhhh fuck

 

[mackembhoy]

What a f***ing shame

 

[TopCat]

I'll take a 350 lead now

 

[Julio_Schwarz]

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