[The blue phantom]

Weather looks poor from 1p.m onwards, tomorrow clearer with bits of rain.

Is the Draw a big price at 5/1?

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Anyone think we’ll get to 390?

 

[waspish]

Anyone think we’ll get to 390?

Well the first ball we will have a massive smack at it will either be out or four

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

That entrance was magical.

Will Moeen be able to bowl?

Murphy was generating quite substantial turn at times yesterday, so Root and Moeen (if fit) could prove to be a threat today.

Well he’s in the training gear and not whites so I’m guessing no bowling

 

[SWP's back]

Joel Wilson is a **** btw.

Yes.

Joel Wilson is a **** btw.

One of the worst umpires I’ve ever seen.

Just looked at the Oval scorecard from 2019 and England had Root, Stokes, Bairstow, Woakes and Broad in their side and Australia had Warner, Labuschagne, Smith, Marsh, Cummins, and Hazlewood. There will be plenty of attention today on Broad, understandably, but the next two days are also likely to be the last time that many of these players experience Ashes cricket in England. In 2019, Ali, Anderson, Starc, and Lyon also played, probably others, too, so it’s going to be a completely different experience in 2027. I guess Root and Labuschagne might still be around for it.

 

[gordondaviesmoustache]

Yes.

You were barely correct.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

384 to win.

Unless we make numerous mistakes in the field (I’m looking at you Bairstow) we should win this test match.

Do you think we will?

Don’t always agree with him but Vaughan wasn’t wrong in 2019 and it still rings true:
‘When Joel Wilson gives you OUT .. You just review it.’

 

[wattle]

Broads last shot in ever pro cricket a six. Nice!

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Do you think we will?

I’ll say no as I have the uncanny knack of getting things spectacularly wrong.

Australia to win with 7 wickets down.

 

[EL APACHE TEVEZ]

Come on lads

 

[Don Karleone]

Broad to get Warner one last time please.

 

[Dr Jacoby]

Not the best of starts.

 

[Tangled up in blue.]

No way will the Aussies score 384

 

[normskih]

Based on what, the fact that in this test he hasn't taken the wickets expected?

Pretty much so. An opening bowler, his figures from the last two or three years were shown on telly. I’m no expert, however and as I said just an opinion.
