2019 5th Ashes Test 12-17 September - The Oval

[DangerHere]

Are we trying to land Kohli in the 2020 draft?

Yep we’re tanking

 

[Richard Pryor]

Anything under 400 will be disappointing for England on this pitch. Baffled by the decision to bowl first.

 

[smasha]

Harris still with a hangover.

 

[DaRick]

Siddle's been unexpectedly awful so far.

I would have at least backed him to bowl wicket-to-wicket.

 

[SSwans2011]

Harris celebrating like a goose after last Test after doing nothing but misfielding and dropping catches all series lol

 

[Kram]

This is right arm poo from Siddle.

 

[The Convert]

Are you ssure

Siddle doesn’t leak runs, just at test level

Harris still with a hangover.

Harris plays like he is perpetually hung over.

Issue isn't Siddle's pace. His line and length to Root is all wrong. Looked much better bowling to Burns with some dodgy fielding not helping his case

 

[danielnajdek]

Garbage from Siddle. Why the * isn't Patto playing

 

[DangerHere]

Burns might make 200 here

 

[frankrizzo]

Looks green to me....

Tinge of green but it's a bat first deck, will it really kill you to admit you were wrong?

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Can anyone remember what Siddle's pace was in his prime? I vaguely remember him pushing 150 but can't be certain.

Definitely remember him hitting 150kmph a few times but I wouldn’t be trusting those speed guns. Would’ve been consistently 140-145 for the best periods of his career. Reckon he dropped 10kmph as soon as he went on the vegan diet.

 

[mattymac]

Like Brett burton then?

(Runs for cover)

No need to run for cover we all can't wait to see the back of the flog

Looks just like my home ground, so often teams come here and bowl first and end up having to chase a big score

 

[Outshined]

Would be a bit stroppy with this start if England had won the toss and batted, let alone after we sent them in.

Thankfully there's still plenty of opportunity to hit back.

By hit back I mean keep bowling Cummins.

Averaging 60 in tests over last 3 to 4 years. How did he ever make the tour let alone a test or 2

I mean, we take 2 quick wickets and they are 3-50 in the first hour and if that was offered to anyone of us, we would take it

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Siddle's been unexpectedly awful so far.

I would have at least backed him to bowl wicket-to-wicket.

Its like he's been told to bowl rubbish to justify picking a fifth bowler.

 

[charcoalchicken]

Strange decision to opt to bowl first lol

Wait for Siddle and Marsh to bowl in tandem for a 100 run partnership in 16 overs

 

[smasha]

Starc injured?
Patto and Starc for Sids and Marsh would have been nice ,oh and batting first.

Aussie team will still make me a fool in the next few days,just give em time.

It doesn't feel likely at the moment. The batsman look comfortable and Siddle is bowling rubbish.

 

[ams4crows]

We are obviously playing for the draw, get England to bat for 2 days, Smith then bats for 2 days we win 2-1

Does anyone think the karaoke, first part of the Optus ad is filmed at The Retreat?
