5th Ashes Test: England v Australia at The Oval on Aug 20-24, 2015

As long as Punter doesn't end up on Ch9 I'll be happy. I've liked his commentary on Sky Sports this series.

Ponting will NEVER end up on Ch9 for the same reason the likes of Allan Border wouldn't: too outspoken, and not "one of the sycophants sucking up to the players"

 

[undertaker]

Yeah. Ponting has been a surprise - great player, but not likeable - but like him as a commentator

Channel 9 is just a disaster, and adding Clarke will make it worse - the house that Richie built is a ruin I am afraid

If Clarke joins Ch9, I hope he replaces James Brayshaw. I could do without his melodramatic "OH, have a look at that" high-squealing, teenage-sounding voice. Keep Brayshaw to the T20 stuff, where he belongs.

The only place Brayshaw is talented for is commentating on an ant race and the AFL.

Aussies need Gavin Larson for this test

Gavin Larsen fella, have respect for the ODI legend

I heard a rumour a call went out to Chris Martin for some help with the batting

Like the vast majority of Victorians... he is a disgrace to Australians.

there are very, very, very few exceptions.

4/62 dear oh dear :roll:

 

[aussies1st]

Only 4 down past 60, brilliant stuff today.

 

[TheParraboy]

Watson to the rescue

Surely the game ends in a draw today?

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Any chance Crook gets a debut? Been the best Aussie bat in this game :sarcasm:

Bye bye Watson

 

[aussies1st]

Leg Before Watson

 

[BunniesMan]

Top order gone cheaply. Watson out to an LBW. Our bowlers made to look ordinary. Deja vu. And all this against a county team. We are so far away from being a good team in English conditions. It's embarrassing.

 

[JJ]

beyond embarrassing tbh - none of the conditions have been anywhere near as unplayable as your top 6 have made them look

Fundamental lack of technique, and overwhelming arrogance in the refusal to change the way they play...


M Marsh at least will surely play last test instead of his brother or Wazn

 

[undertaker]

Leg Before Watson

:lol:

Was just about to say Shane "LBW' Watson is out LBW YET AGAIN!

 

[JW]

 

[some11]

LBWazn with a 20, that's basically a 90 for him - job done.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Worst Aussie team ever

Haynetrain 1
Donkeys 0

 

[JJ]

Cummins and Lyon do what the top 6 couldn't :lol:
