The DECIDER - 5th Test Match, The Oval - England vs Australia

[Andrew]

200-6 Siddle catch

Flintoff goes for the last time in a test match.

 

[Wozza]

i would carry on until lunch tommorrow

Don't think England can CHOOSE to do that...

 

[CliveWalkerWingWizard]

Another 30 or so would be nice - 400 near impossible on this pitch

 

[CliveWalkerWingWizard]

Trott was a big call - but selectors got it right !

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

We will declare around 5

 

[Si Gull]

We will declare around 5

Nice little psychological advantage if England do declare - but not under a 450 lead!

 

[Andrew]

390 ahead, with 4 wickets left and Trott.

So were really 390-6.

[Si Gull]

Broad three 4's in succession - Freddy who?

 

[Andrew]

BRAOD out 243-7

 

[Smithy]

328-7 now! Aussies trail by over 500!

 

[Andrew]

Swann out for 63.

 

[Andrew]

trott on 96, I'd imagine Strauss is telling him to get his 100 quickly so they can declare.

 

[Andrew]

Lead of 507

 

[jakarta]

Trott looks like he has good temperment - comes in at 39 -3 and makes a Test Century on debut.

Bit of a contrast to Bell & Bopara......

Pressure off completely now - I look forward to the 20/20 stuff in the next few overs:yahoo:

 

[Everest]

England declare on 373-9 after Trott goes for 119.

England lead by 545 runs.

 

[Pevenseagull]

We will declare around 5

you were about 90 seconds out

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

What's the point of declaring when there's still more htan two days to play? Shouldn't England try and get as many runs as possible?

 

[Andrew]

546 to win

How many more runs would Steve and James get? Maximum of another 15 i would of thought, there's nor difference between needing 546 to win and 560, it''s still f*** loads of runs to chase, Aussies will not win

FACT.
