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

[Meapro Ham]

That catch was symbolic of how we had an easy series win coming but Paine got in the way

 

[Tommy Smith]

Back again...

 

[TheParraboy]

Siddle sitter

Paine stupidity with toss and not his catch

Poms will get 500, mark my words

 

[Bgoodorgoodatit]

Paine and Siddle such great blokes.. the new primary selection criteria to make the Aussie test team...

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

The guy is an AWFUL keeper. He's been shocking this series. I'm absolutely puzzled as to how any commentators can claim he's kept well.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

The freakin glue factory is gonna be jam packed after this test ffs

 

[Sphagnum]

Here comes the psychological mess to bowl a fourth straight test of absolute rubbish.

If anyone needed a rest it was this poor merkin.

 

[Incorrect]

GOAT looking particularly HIV positive today... Very gaunt....

 

[Timbo]

I cannot f**king fathom for all the money in the universe how Tassie Tim looked at this f**king autobahn that they’ve served up and went ‘yep, send em in’.

He's kept well when you compare him with the butter fingered Ranga.

He's kept decently with a few glaring errors...

But but but but but but but the stats say it's better to bat second.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Fun fact: without NSW, Australia would be a consistently worse Test team than Bangladesh.

 

[Meapro Ham]

The most stupid part of bowling first is we just had a hard day in the field four days ago. Then they probably partied for a day instead of doing proper recovery. Insane not to give the bowlers another day or two of rest.

NSW = Next Siddle Wicket

Maybe it was an ode to fellow Taswegian Ricky Ponting's decision to bowl first at Edgbaston back in 2005?

 

[Eelectrica]

I think I'd prefer Wade behind the stumps right now. But that might be due to repressed memories.

Actually i think I'd prefer Carey behind the stumps

 

[Tommy Smith]

Wow looking at those bowlers I never realised just how much Murali looked like Carlton Banks.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

He's kept well when you compare him with the butter fingered Ranga.

Happy to be corrected but the Ranga is far better than him off the pacers when and where any degree of athletic ability is required to take the ball

Anything that isn't straight at him seems to be an absolute f**king mission. He's an international keeper, he has to be able to glove them cleany. He's been fumbling more than the greatest boggerball players in history this series

NSW = Next Siddle Wicket

Coincidentally NSW currently in the grip of a dabilitating drought....
