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

[AlwaysGreen]

I'm not sure why Aussies give a f**k about England and their selectors.

I say let them stay shit and keep selecting plodders.

Jason Roy is a poor mans Aaron Finch.

 

[Eelectrica]

Just 5 batsman with an average above 30 this whole series. Root just squeaks in.
Not too many Pat Howard ticks of approval.

As a bat? Or eating the buffet?

Both.

Khawaja for Warner. Maybe Bancroft for Harris.

Wouldn't surprise me if they move Davey down the order. Labuschagne could open.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

Interesting news today that Kurtis Patterson has left Thunder for Scorchers. Trying to get in the Brown Nosed Gnome's good books??

Or Davey can stop being a plonker and hit the red thing!

I’d drop him

Steve Smith copied his leave from Courtney Walsh

The Admiral to sign off on this series with a big ton! I can feel it!

Sounds like Warner is playing the final test. If he does I hope he scores a good amount of runs. I just don't believe he will though. He looked completely shot when he got on the second innings.

Warner can’t go out there an play the same cautious cricket. He’s got to try and dominate the bowling very early, if it fails at least he will have tried something different.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

You just can't go out there and do that though when the ball is swinging and the pitch is seaming. This isn't some kind of slump he's in; his game and technique are not made for the conditions. He's unable to dealing with the moving ball like a lot of our batsman who have been brought up on pitches flatter than Keira Knightley's chest.

Get him back to Australia and he'll revert to type - plundering runs by going hard at the ball and swinging. I can't see him adapting.

The ball didn’t swing & seam a heap in Manchester, easily the best batting conditions of the series. Expect it’ll be similar at the oval, been quite dry in London the last few weeks. These late summer conditions aren’t the typical English ones at all.

In 2015 Warner made his highest ever score in England, at The Oval - 85

Cummins may be rested.

kinda gives me the shits if so, we should be going for the jugular.

Paddy has been immense and deserves to finish the series on a high, we have a decent break after this test. Stupid sports science merkins.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Lol his highest score ever in England is only 3 runs more than Smith's lowest score this tour.

 

[Haffa]

Cummins deserves the chance to take 30 wickets this series. He can have a rest while we play the Minnows from New Zealand over the summer.

I’d let Warner see out the final test and the home series and then retire him in Katich fashion.
