Australia have a chance to bat themselves into a commanding position of the fifth Ashes Test against England at the Oval. Join The Roar for live scores from 8pm (AEST).
Despite dropping five catches, Australia did well to bowl England out for 283 on the first day, after Pat Cummins at last won the toss and elected to send the hosts in.
Reaching stumps in response at 1/61 and with Usman Khawaja set, the Aussies’ first mission is to knock off the 222 more runs required for a first-innings lead, and then look to pile on as big an advantage as possible – easier said than done against the pace of Mark Wood and the guile of Chris Woakes and Stuart Broad, even with English spinner Moeen Ali under an injury cloud.

Any chance a Western Australian could have missed the final test? No way. Bring in 8 of 'em.

He's slipping. 26 thousand odd comments and only 23 thousand of them bagging Cummins. And all Cummins could do was be test champion and retain the Ashes.

I hope to write a piece on captaincy. It's the most passionate thing I'm concerned about because so much hinges on it. Captains in other sports don't mean as much as they do in cricket
Pierro

I’ll say one thing with Pakistan and windies next in aus it should be a run fest . if you really think head is a good captain and knows his fields and his bowlers its a great time for the change as head willmake centuries at home this summer , even warner will make runs against Pakistan per his arranged deal to play to Sydney .(he did the same against Pakistan like all of them on roads batting first in 2019 after last ashes and then of course his form slumped from NZ onwards after that whichbwas predictable )

How come you need me to write it? Can't you see that stuff yourself?

Sleight of hand does that.

Well, both last test and this one, when there’s a selection squeeze, the player to go is the player not in the pub coup crew of a few years ago. Murphy and Green are the two you don’t exclude. Our boys did. “Let’s stay together.” With The Ashes already safe, you play the future in such games. It had to be Warner, Starc or Hazlewood missing this game. It should have been 2 of them. Harris should have played. Importantly, Australia played as badly as they could yesterday, but still find themselves ahead of the poms. If we don’t go back to short stuff and ring boundaries, if they have a partnership and, instead, keep attacking the stumps, we will only have to chase 200 in the last dig.

He may be a handy number 10 or 11 with the bat in the future. If he can improve as time goes by .

You forgot to mention Green's non selection. Ffs Don what's up with you? Letting your high standards slip

I couldn't resist the reply.
Rowdy
Roar Rookie
Regardless of whst he is now it'd all change. Fortune favours the brave. Everyone thought Neil Harvey was bonkers when they selected him who was born fit for purpose. Head is the same beast. Waiting for a form change misses what I'm saying. It's irrelevant. His batting will just fit in, improve, with everything else that changes.
Choppy Zezers

Sargeant, when you read it I order you to not reply. Cease fire. You are not to move to attack force delta niner-niner against the Fremantle Army. This is not a battle we can win nor is worth fighting. That is a direct order from Field Marshall Zezers, Commanding Officer, Minnow Fleet.
Virgil
Roar Rookie
Prefer to keep them out in the field and nullified their momentum .
