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

[Sphagnum]

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.

Its only the fiest session and there is a barely a layer of scalp left on a single Australia head.

This is 100% throwing to placate the queen and her subjects

 

[Hutty1986]

Our worst session of the series. Thanks to the special needs inclusions, and the special needs captain

Say what you want about the toss, but when you drop two sitters (well, one was a sitter for the bloke who got robbed of it) you can't really worry about that....FFS.

Could be 2 or 3 down

 

[Eelectrica]

Looks like a few players celebrated a little too much last tests victory.
Patty magnificent as always.

 

[hineyrulz]

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

Wazn and Rawnaq are waiting for them.

 

[Pete Cash]

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

Tommy that is just straight like bait

I still gave you a like though

It was all Cummins but you are right. We take our chances and maybe thats an ok session

 

[Sphagnum]

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

Yeah, it's hard to comprehend how your team isn't dominating when all of their stars spend the entire season on international duties...

Oh I'm not saying it was the right call, cos it was all Cummins for sure.

Just that you can't do much either way if you drop sitters.

I am a famous bed wetter but things like dropping sitters... or letting in tries with 15 minutes to go when you are up by 18.

That gets the sheets damp

 

[hineyrulz]

Even at 3 wickets down bowling first was the wrong call.

 

[Tommy Smith]

I know how to play to my audience.

Insult Victorians and glorify the Bluebaggers.

And yet it should be noted that I made that statement without a hint of hyperbole.

Take Smith, Warner, Haze, Starc, Cummins & Lyon out of this team over the past 5 years and you have a Zimbot level team.

I mean Tim Paine has been doing his best Tatenda Taibu impression for a couple of years now.

It gives me the green apple splatters.

Dropping sitters is a crime deserving of being fed to the Hound of the Baskervilles...

They could be 8/30 and bowling first was still the wrong decision

Even without all this blokes we'd still give this rubbish england team a run.

Hot f**ken garbage. Extraordinarily lucky to not be down 4 nil

 

[This Year?]

Paine just makes you shake your head like Frank Spencer.

Yeah, it's hard to comprehend how your team isn't dominating when all of their stars spend the entire season on international duties...

Remember the last time the NSW international players played in the list A domestic 50 competition we beat South Australia in the final by about 6000 runs with SA’s top scorer being Tom Cooper a NSW reject.

fun fact.... without South Africa and New Zealand, England wouldn't have a team.

 

[Incorrect]

Yeah, it's hard to comprehend how your team isn't dominating when all of their stars spend the entire season on international duties...

Ummm, was actually referring to the state of NSW and the current climate conditions. Not their domestic cricket record in recent summer's....

Having Peter Shittle in your team is like trying to run Windows 3.1 on your newly brought computer system.
