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

[SSSSSS]

Cam Green legacy defining knock here.....

Legacy defining 13 runs off 22 balls coming up.

 

[Daka]

Out Weatherold Labaschagne Kahwaja
In Renshaw Konstas Kellaway

Konstas will go for a duck every match.

 

[Neese]

Just odd

 

[cats_09]

McSweeney

How's his injury recovery going - only reason I didn't mention him

 

[Jimthegreat]

Carse has learnt, just pitch it in the right spot and let the pitch do the work.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

That is a woeful attempt at playing a shot, Carey. Should be embarrassed with that.

 

[Spirit Level]

Those ****en animals should be banned from our grounds until they stop booing Smith and Carey

 

[V23]

Imagine the millions of dollars lost by Cricket Australia, Fox, and Channel 7 because of these shit pitches/batters

 

[Some Idiot]

Should Carey have returned to his crease before he handles the ball there?

Just shouldn't handle it, but it's surely dead if the fielding team has given permission to handle it.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

What about Green

Scored more than the first two this test

Baldy looked hopeless

 

[pjcrows]

You've got Boxing Day and a 100,000 seat stadium for sh*t cricket.

 

[sherb]

I'll keep saying it - it's not the pitch's fault these blokes can't bat with application and/or technique.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Those ****en animals should be banned from our grounds until they stop booing Smith and Carey

It really needs to be called out now.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

geez how about the lads making josh tounge look like prime curtly ambrose

 

[Topkent]

Complete embarrassment of a test match. The curator should be out up against a wall.

Haha nah bullshit, there's seam movement in the pitch that's it. Players are just ****ing horrible technically.

 

[Matera92]

Both teams should be made to hand back their match payments.

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

Cricket Australia will be telling Khawaja right now to “retire”.

 

[cats_09]

Nearly a second run out involving Green this match

 

[satty]

This happened in the 1990s....a.much stronger period of world Test cricket.

Batters technique simply being exposed. No excuses and not good enough.

Think curators have to start factoring that in. The modern age batters simply aren't good enough to handle these kind of pitches.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Lucky we have enough.

They made **** all in the first innings, but I reckon they'll chase it down with four wickets to spare. Brook will just go nuts and do it ala Head in Perth.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Bowling was always going to dominate this series, lot of dud batters getting games for both teams

 

[H00t]

The pitch is doing a fair bit but what it is exposing is just how bad the technique of our batters is.

Can’t just rely on hand-eye coordination

 

[Magma]

Imagine the millions of dollars lost by Cricket Australia, Fox, and Channel 7 because of these shit pitches/batters

pretty funny

 

[Plugger35]

Has there ever been a test series with two 2 day test matches? This could be a first if this test finishes today.

 

[Outtatym]

Shit batting but this pitch is a minefield.

Money on a carbon copy of yesterday?

Id argue it's just highlighting how shit test batting is these days. Can't leave balls and can't defend on a wicket that isn't a highway
