Hackett Aug 2015 3:49pm, 20 Aug 2015 2,290 posts	0 Hackett Plus the Oval is a fairly decent pitch to bat on in the main. Can see them racking up 380+ and putting our guys under pressure again. Lyth out early doors wafting outside off-stump.

Crash Hamster Aug 2015 8:26am, 21 Aug 2015 587 posts	0 Crash Hamster Nice day out, took me back about 30 years, good, hard, Test cricket! We ended up sitting adjacent to Ebony Rainford-Brent and Mel Jones, who were both partaking of some light refreshment. It all depends on the new ball now...

Badger Aug 2015 8:50am, 21 Aug 2015 5,463 posts	0 Badger That would suit me fine, too. Make it clear that the bowling attack in this XI doesn't look as effective when the pitch is true, or when it takes spin, without humiliating the batting.
TRO Saracen Aug 2015 8:57am, 21 Aug 2015 11,198 posts	0 TRO Saracen 3-2 is a fair series result IMO. We have been better, partly because they have been stupid and stubborn and arrogant and ignored cricket's most important stroke when the ball is moving: the leave. But we're not as good as we have been talked up to. Lots for us to do to get better, and in a way having to scrap for a draw may do us some good long term. Hope Lyth enjoys his last test match...;-)
