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

[Young Redleg]

This is turning into a pretty good series for England.

If it was a good series for them they'd still be in the hunt by the 5th game. The bar must be pretty low for them if they're 3-0 down and have been 'pretty good.'

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Smith to play some creative shots now

 

[Coasters7]

Very composed walking down and playing short ball off the front foot...

Left well and played very good defensively. Same can’t be said about the rest of our blokes

 

[chriso11]

Poor dismissals by Green in both innings opening up tail collapses…

 

[Membling]

Is this pitch really this bad?

Moving and jumping a heap.

But stupid, stupid batting has just exacerbated it.

 

[Southerntakeover]

Compared to the quality of the India series this year and comparable to expectations, this has been the shittest test series ever.

Only the Adelaide grounds keeper can hang his head up.

 

[SC_Power]

I don't see what Stokes sees in Carse.

19 wickets at 25.

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

England will chase this in 30 overs.

 

[TasSixer]

If bazball doesn't work now, it never will.

 

[Neese]

3 ducks

Come on Smithy

 

[Southerntakeover]

No way is this over

Yeah, reckon they'll canter it. Setting a total of 160 isn't it.

 

[sherb]

This is beyond embarrassing.

It's pathetic.

No application, no heart, no spine.

But will be excused/explained away because of the supposed minefield that they are batting on.

 

[freo_leo29]

Richo at 11 sucks, bloke needs to be swinging like a baseball

 

[RandB]

We lost this one, oh well.

Yep, 3 - 1 going into Sydney.

 

[Cleavy]

England will chase this in 30 overs.

they didn't even bat 30 overs in the first innings

Not really, you'd look at the score line and think must have been close but... everyone that watched it.. would know the truth

 

[Daka]

Can someone tell me yes or no is this pitch really as bad as the batting seems?

 

[Visions]

A bowler short, not even bowling their so called spinner and they are obliterating the Australian batting lineup.

Our bowlers have saved the batsman time and time again, however have to fail sometime. Today will probably be that day.

 

[RWnBluey]

Poor dismissals by Green in both innings opening up tail collapses…

Green is part of the tail

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

We lost this one, oh well.

If Australia do lose this one, that short shit again when number 11 came in yesterday could be costly.

 

[Cyber_punk]

Disgusting pitch. Pathetic batting. Filthy match of test cricket.

As ugly as the North-West Coast game this year

 

[Chuckie357]

"WHAT A CATCH!" As straightforward as they come.

Was it “The great man Howie”? I can only imagine the commentary when he is sitting on the toilet

 

[SC_Power]

It's pathetic.

No application, no heart, no spine.

But will be excused/explained away because of the supposed minefield that they are batting on.

Wonder what pitch rating this will get.

 

[danielnajdek]

Winning a match in Australia would be considered a good series for them.

They have to chase a total which will be the biggest total of the match. Good luck.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Yep, 3 - 1 going into Sydney.

Australia have Starc, Bolland, Richardson and Neser... If Australia got rolled England will as well, good chance they don't even make 70
