    [Cricket] The Ashes - England v Australia - 5th Test, Oval, July 27-31, 2023

    As above - I think chase the win initially but then lose 2-3 wickets and just confirm the 2-1 win. It would mad for them to throw the series win away now.

    My concern is the more time we lose, the easier Australia can shut up shop with 7 wickets in hand. They don't need to risk drawing 2-2 to get the 3-1. 2-1 would do them fine, you'd suspect.

    I understand the instinct to celebrate, but you don't fluff a shot in football or hitting a ball for 6 because you're celebrating during the action itself. I'm just saying give yourself a moment to actually do the thing before celebrating doing the thing. He hadn't finished catching the ball...

    I don't quite understand the instinct to immediately throw it up in the air. Just complete the catch first, make sure it's safe, then worry about celebrating. I dunno. Just frustrating that we've done ourselves in with unenforced errors at multiple points this series, a series where we have...

    Well arguably he could've made himself available for selection with the bat only. If he knows his fitness isn't where it needs to be to keep in a bloody ASHES series, maybe don't say you can keep?

    JB just looks so flat-footed. "Go easy on me, I've had a big injury" - don't declare yourself fit to keep then!

    Struggling to care atm. Feels like a 3rd/4th place play off of a game - sure I'll feel different once it's underway.
