Strap yourself in gang.

Australia has won the toss and will bowl.

Choosing to bowl first in the 5th Test was a disaster last time...

 

[Dazzler9]

God damn it. Just give them their moral victory now

Pretty sure it was a flat deck last time.
Also now, England love to chase.

It's overcast so will want 3 wickets minimum by lunch hopefully.

What is the deck like? If it's anything other than a raging greentop then this is a bad bad move.

Green axed, young gun recalled...the young gun is Murphy.

Wicket looks decent.

Given the overcast conditions and England's preference for chasing, I think it's the right call.

Stokes said he would've bowled also.

So...

Warner
Khawaja
Labuschagne
Smith
Head
Marsh
Carey (wk)
Starc
Cummins (c)
Murphy
Hazlewood

Gonna regret not picking Neser I think

I'm comfortable with any result honestly, almost a part of me perversely wants to lose so Piers Morgan can have an aneurysm explaining how the Ashes should be theirs, but it won't be.

Time will tell, but I expect England to put up a huge score and the Aussies finding themselves under scoreboard pressure for the whole game.

At The Oval, it's win toss, bat. Every damn time.

I swear that ball tracking is rigged in the Poms favour. That Starc delivery looked like it was closer than the tracking indicated.

I scoffed at the result.

The Aussie bowling selections remind me of our credits in the bank brigade. Jobs for the boys - and genuinely inform players like Nesser can't get a look in.

 

[MrKK]

I support the boldness of sending them in, but we need to bowl a truckload better than this to make it work.

****ing hell

 

[Feeling Groovy]

You are kidding me

 

[InTheWings]

Warner

 

[matthew_s]

What a selfish ****ing campaigner.

 

[Truckosaurus]

He is just determined to be a dead weight this tour.

 

[BrotherDodge]

Ugh. Wake up, old man!

 

[Feeling Groovy]

But we should’t drop him despite batting form as he’s also a slip fielder

And now another (tough one)
