5th Test: England vs Australia at the Brit Oval

[The_gas]

It's just unrealistic how well short extra cover catches in this game. Batsmen never get out there.

Ha, just remember though his timing was poor, or good at best.

 

[Howsie]

Maybe this is why England carried him for close to two years, for this one spell of bowling.

 

[blake]

Broad bowls a half-decent spell for once and you're all having orgasms over the Ashes already?

I'll believe it when I see it.

 

[khalek]

Broad has 10/107 so far, Headingley and Oval combined.

They're 4 down for under 100 so I'd expect North to come out all guns blazing and hit 50 off 15.

Is there another Marcus North in the Australian team I don't know about?

 

[blake]

I could quote Mitchell Johnson's two best test figures and make it look something incredible but why bother? Khalek, why don't you include the crap innings where he bowled about 0/300 in between?

You can't just cut random stats out, it doesn't work..

I've been having orgasms all day man, no idea what you're going on about.

Yes, the one in Ashes Cricket 09.

 

[smssia0112]

Yes, the one in Ashes Cricket 09.

Ah got it, well in that case you'd expect Katich to get his 100 in a few overs' time.

 

[iridescentt]

If I don't see any tons coming than I can't see us recovering from this collapse.

 

[evertonfan]

I think the main positive about this session is that that tosser Clarke is back in the hutch.

 

[King Pietersen]

Are any of our other bowlers going to bother bowling well? Or are we relying on Broad to do a Laker?

 

[barmyarmy]

I can't believe that one of my tips from 6 years ago is playing for England (albeit as a sub):

Watch out for Sam Northeast, 13, currently playing in Kent. He set a new record of 11 centuries in 19 innings (including 13 not outs). He averages 291 for his school, Wellesley House.
I believe he'll be at Harrow this year so Middx may yet poach him...

 

[King Pietersen]

Northeast? :

:laugh You showed him.

Time for abit of Swanny I think. No point turning to Harmison, he's looked gash, Swann likes bowling to lefties, so give him a go.

That's not a random stat, was just trying to say that he's struck a good form with the ball after being below par in the first two tests.
