5th Ashes test Eng v Aust at The Oval, London

[dedja]

Haddin is hitting throught the line of the ball whenever it is pitched up. He isn't going to die wondering, i like the attitude.

I don't when he plays stupid shots like that.

[wycbloods]

Swann gets Haddin trying to hit a six.

6/327

[devilsadvocate]

shit. He was having a go, but was it really the right time?
Surely it would have been better to see out the evening then come out swinging in the morning and see the poms drop their heads?

Damn. Can't really blame him for having a crack though

It is the way he plays. The same attacking manner Gilchrist went about it, it is good when it comes off and looks ugly when it doesn't.

[purch]

Dumb cricket by Haddin...Keep it on the floor FFS!

[wycbloods]

Swann and Broads runs in this game, along with the 70 extras we gave up in two innings are really coming back to bite us on the ass. Our first dig was poor but Swann and Broad have made 147 between them.

[dedja]

Only making 160 in the first dig was the problem ...

[wycbloods]

Good take by Collingwood to dismiss Johnson for a duck.

Game over if it wasn't already.

[dedja]

I can hear the fat bitch clearing her throat ...

[wycbloods]

Only making 160 in the first dig was the problem ...

Yeah that was the major problem but what i pointed out was 217 runs which should never be anywhere near that.

[devilsadvocate]

I can hear the fat bitch clearing her throat ...

That made me smile even in the current predicament

[dedja]

Doesn't matter now. If the Queen gave the bastards MBEs last time it wouldn't surprise me if they all get knighted this time around.

[wycbloods]

Ah well the Ashes are returning to England .

They have well and truly out played us in this test match and deserve this win.

Cardiff is such a disappointment and is highlighted more now because of this match.

Our bowlers were good without being great this series.

Batsmen have had their moments but our 1st innings score sum up our series with the bat, below par.

Hope we can get the Ashes back when they come over here next .

Lets hope the third umpires are trained properly on this referral system, because based on the standard of umpiring in this test series, it is desperately needed and it has to be done well.

5-0 next time will help erase this series from memory though .

[wycbloods]

Harmison gets siddle playing across the line leading edge to mid off.

[NFC]

We would've won this series had Khawaja played.

Of course we will, they're average and we're amazing on home. With Khawaja, we'll be unbeatable.

[wycbloods]

Clark gone first ball. Harmison on a hat-trick.

FFS can it get any worse, don't let the pricks win with a hat-trick.

[Gozu]

This is so depressing.

[dedja]

Look it's not that bad.

We'll lose the match and the series but can always win next time ... they'll always be Poms though.

[dedja]

all out for 348.

Poms win the Ashes 2-1.
