England v Australia - Fifth Ashes Test - The Oval

[Jopub]

Oh ffsakes

Some brilliant bowling here from Fred and Jimmy and Watson should have gone - fking umpires but they've managed to scrape to 20 for no loss

Bowlers must'nt get disheartened here - if they can keep this standard and tightness up they'll get wickets

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Play restarted , with a bit of luck the rain will affect the ball and the damp in the air will make it swing a bit more.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

Watson gone for 34 LBW 71-1

 

[gaffs]

Broad is bolwing bowling really well. Hes not tryng to take wickets with every ball like he normally does.

 

[gaffs]

Come on. Ponting gone.

 

[Jopub]

Get in!

Ponting never looked happy

 

[Northstand]

Broad again, 89 for 3. Well done Broady, top delivery that, and well done to the selectors for keeping faith with him!

 

[Rooney1987]

Board bowling very well Hussey gone

 

[gaffs]

Told you he was bowlig well!!!

feck off "Mr Cricket".

 

[Rooney1987]

Broad again 93-4

 

[Rooney1987]

Its Clarke as well HUGE wicket there

 

[gaffs]

Thats 4 wickets for 20 Runs.

 

[Jopub]

One more would really break their backs here

Get fkin in lads!

 

[Rooney1987]

Swann gets North 108-5

 

[Plechazunga]

Oh my fecking god

I've just checked the score

WTF is happening here? Does... not... compute...

 

[Rooney1987]

Bad call by the umps but England have had there bad decisions.

 

[Rooney1987]

Swann again 109-6

 

[Jopub]

Wooohhaa fkin yes

Have that !

 

[Plechazunga]

Yorked the cnut!

 

[muller]

Yorked the cnut!

That make me spit my water out. Got to be one of the best sentences ever?

 

[Rooney1987]

Broad 5th wicket 111-7

 

[redtilded121]

7 down whats the follow-on score?

 

[zing]

feck, what a session for England

Two players I'd have dropped for this match if I was in charge of team selecting, combining for 7 wickets.

Swann's bowling well.. pitch is helping him a lot.

 

[Jopub]

Well for once I'm almost speechless

 

[zing]

7 down whats the follow-on score?

It's always 200 runs less than the first innings score of the side bowling

132 in this case

 

[Member 39557]

I was fearing the worst before lunch. What an afternoon!

 

[didsbury1982]

This is fecking fantastic. Sunny outside and I'm sat watching the cricket with a cold beer watching the Australians capitulate!

well at this rate who knows ,

 

[didsbury1982]

They don't seem to think England will enforce the follow on in commentary. I agree, hopefully amount a 400+ run lead and get them to bat out two days on a badly deteriorating pitch.

Yeah agree I wouldn't want to bat last on that pitch.

 

[GiggsysGirl]

This is fun.

 

[pauldyson1uk]

I cant beleve this I go out for a couple of hours and we take the Aussie's apart.
Stunning is the only word .

 

[Northstand]

If Ozz get away with no loss before lunch then that will be the end of that imo

Entirely agreed with this at the time you posted it... what a turnaround since lunch.

 

[Rooney1987]

131-8 Swann gets Johnson

 

[pauldyson1uk]

8 down now

 

[redtilded121]

yes 8 down

 

[zing]

Mitchell Johnson gone.

Swann's come to gobble everything up really. He doesn't even have to do anything, the pitch's helping him beautifully

 

[Jopub]

Incredible !

Although we're now well on top there's still more to come in this match

 

[pauldyson1uk]

that was a stunning ball to get Johnson out

 

[Rooney1987]

Good catch by Prior
