2019 ASHES: 5th Test Australia v England, The Oval Sept 12-16

[Meapro Ham]

Seriously bowling? Even if we win it’s still the wrong call. We only need a draw and we basically have don bradman. That’s just bat every time, don’t even think about it

 

[Twizzle]

Means we will bat last, hmmmmm

 

[hineyrulz]

This looks a belter, Paine is a f**king idiot. They were whinging about workloads and resting players yet he has us bowling first on a good deck. f**king stupid.

Crazy decision to bowl first....worse decision than the return of Marsh and Siddle combined.

U bat first 99 times out of 100 and especially considering all the bowling just a few days ago. Seems like we don't wanna win a series in Ingerland..

Last 10 tests here going back to 2009, side batting second has won 5 times, side batting 1st 4 times, 1 draw.

 

[Eelectrica]

Yep, that pitch is an absolute nightmare to bat on right now.
Literally unplayable.

Hope we like bowling because I think they're going to be doing it for a while.

That dive locked Marsh in for 5 more years

 

[Haffa]

PWOAR THOSE FUXKING LEAVERS!!!

 

[Pete Cash]

Only gonna get flatter though.

We'd be 2/1 by now. Warner 0, c Bairstow b Broad. And Harris LBW again.

Sigh

Yep, our openers have been ridiculously bad. I reckon it would be one of the worst series for average runs for 2 wickets fallen.

Has nothing to do with this game

Phwoaarrr the BIG BISON!. Good use of those levers

Brayderp just blew a triple roper.

 

[Hutty1986]

Our pair are dogshit too, but FMD these two are mongs

Yes it does. It shows that what you think about batting 1st doesn't matter as much as you think. It will be much better to bat on for side batting 2nd in their first innings. The only problem is that we have to bowl them out for 300-350. That's the risk you take.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

This looks like it's a pretty f**king good pitch to bat on tbh

Burns makes Denly look like a beautiful technical player....What does that say for Rory???

 

[hineyrulz]

This looks high IMO.

 

[King hit]

It looked bat first and down off

Actually high and the appeal wasn’t even convincing

 

[Bazal]

I think that's a fat toad shocker....surely hits it?

Maybe I am the fat toad, no bat but high?

If the poms hadn't been blessed with the most luck I've ever seen, they'd both be averaging less than derpy Davey

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Look high at first glance
