Ashes 5 test - The Oval

[safcpelaw]

He’s good at catching, t20 seen it just not the basics, can put up with it when he bowls that quick

His fielding and batting looks very raw mind

Aye watched the 20/20 with the catching but then again right place right time in 20/20 with almost every ball going in the air.

He will improve and more games will do that.

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

Wouldn’t get bored of punching Lyon in the face.

Probably improve his looks.

It goes without saying that this partnership is the one that could decide the series. Yet again we need to get Smith out...

 

[Bri]

I think were probably more prepared in terms of plans, to get our batsman out and the importance of it ,and we were distracted a lot due to the World Cup.


But never understood the argument that has been put on here that they sent their players to county cricket to get extra practice then selected them and that was one of the reasons they were better earlier in the series, the 3 players playing county cricket, Siddle, Bancroft and Labuschagne, two have been poor in the series and like I said the other one even though scoring plenty of runs was not picked.

The best players in this series apart from maybe Broad, played in the World Cup and Australia have not held on to the Ashes by picking red ball specialists which is another argument put on here.

Siddle often plays County Cricket.

There's no harm playing white ball cricketers as long as they can make the adjustment from white to red. Some can't but some can (Stokes, Root), bowlers can pretty easily.

Smith has had every bit of luck possible mind

I don’t think it’s cooncidence that Buttler has started to look the part late in the series

It’s unrealistic to expect him to switch formats so easily
