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

[Proeagle]

We were probably 20 runs short of them having enough rope

I blame Smith for that at the end. Hitting a single at the start of 3 different overs, putting Richo on strike, instead of acting like a real batter.

 

[SC_Power]

Why is our best bowler not bowling? How much rest do these blokes need?

Captain is resting for the last two tests, series win already completed.

 

[Jack Lord]

England will win this by 8 wickets

 

[HirdsTheWord]

some real interesting selections for Sydney

Green, Wetherald, Marnus need to be shown the bench.

 

[Gough]

If they continue at 6.5 rpo, this will be the third shortest completed test match in terms of ball bowled.
The first test is currently the 5th shortest.

Next TV rights negotiations might be interesting, potentially twenty days play over in thirteen, that's a fair bit of advertising revenue foregone.

 

[Membling]

Looks good to me. Plays it under his eyes.

Want to see him play test cricket first...

 

[Billy ray]

Ive always said test matches should be three innings

 

[Black Diamond]

Short cover and short midwicket please.

 

[jb04]

Will require a spectacular implosion like they did at The Oval a few months ago.

Can they do it again?

 

[Bill Crouse]

Looks like a pretty good pitch to bat on now

 

[Toffee Lion]

England’s awfulness has covered up the cracks this summer. Think this loss is a good wake up call.

Especially with DAZN owing Kayo now.

The broadcasters will surely go "if you cant guarantee at least 3 days then we pay less"

I remember the glory days of Bob Willis and Henry Lawson peddling JVC video cameras.. the Windies changeroom - Mikey and Big Bird - calling for more Coruba rum .. like everything else cricket ads have devolved ..

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Kudos to England. They belted the attack at the start, forced Smith to go conservative, and now are batting with no pressure.

 

[HirdsTheWord]

Get the feeling it’s Starc and Green time

green time?

he has done **** all this entire series lol

 

[philreich]

Hopefully this Test opens the eyes of the selectors - a few careers need to end NOW!!!

 

[cats_09]

Neser has offered nothing

More of a pink ball option than red ball?

Gilchrist has his tequila, still. Does that count?

 

[FreoRicci]

What’s the point of Green? If he can’t bat, then he needs to bowl.
Surely he’s dropped. He’s awful this series

 

[Gough]

Yeah yeah.

 

[two blue tiger]

This is just about all over.....

Like the real batters that threw away their wicket? Blame those flogs not the guy who actually batted properly

 

[Proeagle]

Seems like the curator didnt give a crap either.

 

[satty]

Surely this is the first time in cricket where two test matches in a 5 test series finished within 2 days.
