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

[BringBackSimmo]

Siddle and Marsh are medium pacers? Oh come on, Warnie..

 

[k31th]

Marsh getting swing right out of his fingers... swinging right onto the middle of the bat

 

[ams4crows]

Marsh experiment is a bust

 

[HBF]

Need at least one more before lunch. Get into the all rounders at 4.

 

[Numero Uno]

If we batted, collectively Englands heads would of dropped

we could of spent 2 days grinding them into the dirt

 

[Big Cox 88]

Paine was wary of Lab and Smith being fatigued so he bowled first obviously.

 

[BringBackSimmo]

Someone turn off Warne's microphone?

 

[Soups]

This is one boring bowling line up.

In terms of test cricket he is rivht

Marsh gets swing, Burns plays 1 good shot means more Marsh bashing

 

[Hamingja]

At least we can all have an early night. Thanks Tim.

 

[Gough]

According to the radio, no English captain since Archie McClaren has lost two Ashes in a row and kept the captaincy. Haven't checked and remarkable if you think of the 90s.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

Mitch Marsh can’t bat can’t bowl gets by on his surname blokes a fraud if he was Mitch white for example wouldn’t be near the Aussie team

 

[Numero Uno]

nearly every test we have batted in far worse conditions

but now Paine decides to bowl

 

[Pykie]

Paine will get run out of the job by the Aussie summer if we lose this test.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

First we pick Siddle and Marsh, and then Paine tells them we're having a bowl. Just dumbfounding. Did Paine not trust his openers to get through a session?

This pitch will be a belter to bat on after lunch and England should be looking at 400 plus.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Great decision to bowl first boys

Useless

 

[Sprout]

lol @ that table. Smith with more than 300 runs than the next best batsman of either side. And he missed a test. Ridiculous.

 

[Snarls Barkley]

Seems he averages around 32 with both the bat and ball in First Class cricket.

His first class numbers not counting his test numbers

3856 runs at 35.05
114 wickets at 27.67

 

[DangerHere]

Marsh experiment is a bust

I said last summer he’ll never play for Australia again.

I was wrong ( what were the chances ? ), there’s probably also a huge asteroid about to hit Victoria

 

[MadEyeEmmy]

Cummins looking good at least.

 

[peternorth]

paine is a s**t captain






* reserves right to remove post if we win the test*

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

Could you imagine if we hadn't already retained the ashes?

Well, no. Australia hasn't managed a five over opening stand; a two hour one is pushing the boat out a little, even on the best batting deck in England.

Hopefully this game is being used as a "trial" match for our next series. A few plodders might get their papers stamped for good.
