Ashes 5 test - The Oval

[sonson]

That’s just not true

He averages 125 this series
He averages 64.8 in his test career

That’s almost double his career average...

Before this series against us he averaged 140 odd

Sorry I forgot to qualify it was his average vs England, that's what I meant

What an amazingly weird field

Is long-stop even legal?

GERRUP BROADY

Is long-stop even legal?

Why wouldn't it be? It's theoretically a pointless or wasted position because your wicket keeper should stop everything in that channel apart from a top edge

 

[JohnSmithUK]

With that field, be daft not to bowl a yorker.

Just strange it being used, especially in a test match.

100%. The 3 card trick to Broad is bouncer, bouncer, yorker. Gets him everytime

 

[Jack Torrance]

Aussies wont make 250. Got enough runs already

Cricket is definitely a game where you cannot make up stats

 

[chunkyshanhawk53]

Mentally weak those sixes iirc

Hope you're right. Would love 420-440

Soft cock I heard


Oh Jack!

 

[dixonsafc]

Don't recall ever seeing a long stop at The Oval. Very village.

 

[JohnSmithUK]

399 to win, game on.

 

[marathon9]

Good bowling performance please ENGLAND....

 

[safcpelaw]

Now I get that Nathan Lyon's nickname is "Gary" or "Gaz" after the Aussies Rules player but do the Aussies have to reaffirm this 10 times after every ball?

Bowling Gaz
Well done Gaz
Catch it
Keep it their Gaz
Just a few.

 

[JohnSmithUK]

Good bowling performance against Smith and Lasagne please ENGLAND....

Corrected.

 

[marathon9]

399 to win, game on.

They got 2 days... Wish we had another 30 runs... But we have something to defend...

 

[Voice of fair play]

Any other time or game would be confident as owt, obviously think we will still win.

But the Smith factor and the way he has played puts a bigger doubt in your mind, that you normally would in this situation

 

[JohnSmithUK]

Jack Leach's glasses cleaning cloth has now faced more balls than David Warner in this series...

 

[The Rat]

Right let’s get into these twats
