Big error picking Jimmy here mind I'd say.

His record at the Oval is appalling and has looked short of zip, almost no swing, pretty slow, no real threat. Good economy but that's about it.

Looks like sentiment to me.

It's another sentimental pick, although he claims he has no plans to retire. Surely Josh Tongue is worth his place?
Hope this doesn't come back to bite us

Agreed.

Jimmy would maybe been a good pick if we needed a draw as he rarely gets the whip.

But we don't play for draws! And the Oval has never been good for him. Pace and spin nearly always do it there and at OT.

Ridiculous review. Great to see Cummins' scrambled brain is still in play

Australia fielding like England

 

[Oliver's Army]

Wow, got lucky there. Good old Warner lad.

 

[TopCat.]

Australia bowling and fielding like they are ready to go home. Let's hope they bat in the same manner at some point tomorrow afternoon..............

Aye. Good slipper Warner too . Maybe all them bandages helped us there!

Sky should have a SmithCam to follow that ****er and his expressions on the field. The look of sheer disgust he threw Warner when he dropped the catch was delightful

Hope he's looking at himself now then!

Soft and unnecessary dismissal there

FFS man

This isn’t going well

Calypso collapso on the cards here.

They've got their bowling lines spot on now. Root again looking very very skittish again so no surprise there.

 

[Oliver's Army]

That escalated quickly

 

[TopCat.]

Need a partnership here.

 

[TopCat.]

Another drop. We could be 6 down here for not very many

Only Root give it away mind. He just can't leave the ball. It's his strength and his weakness.

Very good bowling since they nicked Duckett.

They're fighters mate. They won't want to **** it up here and go home to face the music....especially Cummins.

Or we could put on a hundred partnership
