  • Drinks break at 193-4 off 38 overs

    Brook 74 (81)
    Stokes 3 (13)


  • Very dark at the Oval. Wouldn't surprise me if they go off soon. Bad light or rain.

    So it's Murphy, then Root and Moeen a long, long way behind the pair of them
    A sample size of 2, 4 or even 6 isn't really conclusive is it?  I am not really sure what point your trying to make?

    Would you rather Ali can't bowl?
    The point I'm making is that many have written Murphy off but Moeen is our front line spinner and has only taken 6-387 in the Series and isn't even doing a holding job either. That isn't a small sample and the idea of him batting at 3 is to balance the side. He has batted very well but he hasn't fulfilled his other role. 
  • Moeen has 6 wickets at 64.50 in the series. Murphy has 2 wickets at 27.00
    Moeen's got some absolute vital wickets
  • Stokes b Starc 3
  • 193-5

    Stokes bowled for 3 by Starc
  • Oops.

    Losing wickets with regularity.

    Might be lucky to get 300 at this rate

    We need it to get even darker because these conditions are helping the Aussie seamers

    Whom has written Murphy off?  Other than Australia leaving him out for the last test.

    I'm not going to go back and look for the comments but the point was consistently made that it showed no confidence from the Aussies in leaving him out of the last Test. That it would make him even more nervous when he returned.

    He has for sure. But at 64.50 a time. That means that if he got all 10 out, the Aussies would score, on average, 645. Murphy's two wickets were the same person both times - Stokes - and he is, as demonstrated in this Series, as dangerous a batsman as there is.

    When isn't it very dark in your world mate?
    ;-)

    Stokes was bowled by Starc. Murphy got Ali today.

    Apologies - correct. Stokes was his first wicket. Moeen was batting well though and taking the pressure off Brook. Getting him out then brought Stokes in. 
  • Bairstow b Hazlewood 4
  • edited July 2023
    208-6 Bairstow gone for 4, inside edge onto the stumps
  • 300 would be a good score now

    I can always rely on Chizz for a cheap LOL
  • 3, 4, 5 and 6 all bowled...
  • In a spot of bother now

  • Should get a 100 in the last 10 overs with wickets in hand, this is a ODI isn't it? 
  • all gone a bit odd since the lights came on 
  • Brook c Smith b Starc 85
  • 212-7

    Brook edges to slip for 85
  • Shame because Brook was batting so well. That straight drive was all class. 
  • 300 would be a good score now
    Be lucky to get 250 now.
  • Oops.

    Might be lucky to get 300 at this rate 
    Might be lucky to get 250.


  • Might as well smack it and try to get 250 now and fingers crossed have them 4 or 5 down before the close. Unless the rain comes and ruins that..
  • I hope the Aussies win as it might prove that our approach to test cricket, while entertaining, is not suitable win a 5 day test match
