Test The Ashes Fourth Test December 26-30 1000hrs @ The MCG

[satty]

As a partnership?

Not as a partnership sorry, more about getting us close to a total target that isn't within the 150-200 range.

I genuinely can't see us crossing 200.

 

[Cleavy]

Yet there’s empty seats everywhere

need some seat fillers

 

[badgrill]

Devastated to hop on here now and see a disgustingly distinct lack of beds filled with piss.

LIFT!!;

And we've got some real blue sky - be interesting to see how that impacts the afternoon session

 

[MarcMaverick]

The exotic mushroom version?

"WHERES THE LAMB SAUCE!!!"

I gathered that - but a partnership in that vicinity would be nice

 

[Around the Wicket]

wow a Indian 14 year old already scoring 100's in List A and IPL games...

 

[Coasters7]

The ball was far too close to him for Head to attempt that shot. It certainly wasn't a garbage delivery.

If anything, the previous over going for 15 allowed for the two of them to be a little circumspect for an over or two.

That is his shot though. Has put that same ball away for 4 his entire career.

 

[eddiesmith]

Its as if they spend the day in the bars or something

Even the bars aren’t that many in AFL to account for the rows and rows of empty seats

 

[Gough]

They played another one in England in 1980 but that ended up being pretty tame in comparison to the 1977 Test.

Patrick Eager took that great photo essay of Kim Hughes' hundred.

Unlike footy season you can go where you want

 

[cats_09]

You'd like to think that the one in 15 months from now will be half as good - we'll see.

Hopefully the 150th Anniversary test is as good as I bought my ticket last week

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

The fact I know it is Budgie Smugglers, and they are an Ashes special edition, and that Davey has a pair of hot chillie ones makes me feel uncomfortable.

And yet you're comfortable taking the rest of us out of our comfortable ignorance.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

I hate watching Australia bat.

 

[Bucking Beads]

egh. he copped a jaffer. it was one of those pills that looked very overpitched but just turfed short enough that the deviation ripped through his gate. He and Marnus both got lured by very nice full of a length balls and most good batters will go out to

That's no jaffer champ. He tried to hit the ball over the bowlers head and it hit the middle of middle stump.

Well I'm bed wetting about my day 3 tickets

Bed-wetting is strictly an after lunch affair

Just to be safe, I'd suggest they get the monarch to meet the players during the tea break on day 2.

 

[cats_09]

I hate watching Australia bat.

Same

It's not nerves or anything, but I'm much more comfortable watching us bowl - it's also generally more enjoyable

 

[rdhopkins2]

We need to serve up some Aussie culinary delights to our English friends!

Pie floaters
Croc, Emu & Roo steak
Witchetty grub rissoles
Vegemite scrolls
Pavlova
West End
Dim sims
HSP’s
Devon sangas
Battered sav
Flake
Chips with chook salt
Potato cakes
Chicken parma
Bunnings snag in bread with dead horse

Then wash it down with 5-10 pints from Aussie brewers.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

how do you call someone a generational talent when he hasn't got results yet lol

because you're judging against the rest of that generation?
if that's true then ...... oh dear, still, should be enough to stay ahead of england for 15 more years. just maybe not ireland.

 

[cats_09]

Surely Day1 is the safest option

 

[Plugger35]

Stokes opening the bowling after lunch.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

West End

Serving that to anyone is a war crime

You'll be pleased to know the mattresses haven't dried out yet. The piss may be stale, but its there.
