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

Bit of a lucky umpiring decision that.

It was going on to hit the stumps. No luck involved.

We were however unlucky when a similar, incorrect decision wasn't given to Starc against Crawley very early on - could have been a different match if given.

Don't count out the selectors gifting Abbott a test match

Hasn't Abbott been out injured as well?

 

[FreoRicci]

Starc needs to come in and produce his magic

 

[Dazza the Viking]

Clipping that look like it wouldn’t of dislodged the stumps

 

[Headless]

 

[two blue tiger]

Would be fitting for the Stoker to hit the winning runs. Bloke is a pain, but gives his all........

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Identical to the Starc umpires call not out LBW

Umps will give us everything now the games gone

 

[revo333]

Root having a bit to say to the umpire on his way back to the sheds

He wouldn't want to become the all time leading run scorer with an average under 50.

So we've got a wicket on the field

But at the same time in bay M6 we've got at least 1 Aussie and 1 Pom supporter being escorted out

There was a cup snake being built before being thrown in the air - someone who got hit with a cup went to the younger guys who had built it and threw a punch

Security came down to break it up and take the punch thrower away - before he took a swing at security

And on the way out, someone else tried to step in with security and is also being led away

 

[Bedi]

Broad is shitting himself in the commentary box

 

[BGman]

Game lost when Labs, Ussie and Alex were dispatched cheaply this morning. Then those sneaky Pommies ambushed us with a bazball blitz against our opening attack. A change of tactics that sunk us. Like Carse in Perth Neser lost the plot with a short barrage and after he had bowled so well in f/ins. Well done Poms you have stopped our clean sweep.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Given the age of our squad, I always felt this was the last Ashes before the big rebuild.

I'm glad we were able to win it.

I think we will struggle to win it next ashes given we will be rebuilding and I dont see the batting quality unless smith and Carey go big.

 

[ESKIE]

I find Langer a pain in the A

 

[Peter Bixley]

Oh, it still won't happen internally even at 3-2. The players and adminstrators will still sniff their own farts, and the selectors will continue to play politics and favourites.

But there will be more external pressure starting to build.

Which is a start, at least.

 

[Scorpus]

We genuinely might have won if Neser didn't bowl at all this innings

 

[revo333]

Last time we see Joe at the MCG?

Who cares, I've seen plenty better.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Last time we see Joe at the MCG?

Could be.

 

[Southerntakeover]

Well, we stopped it being a thrashing.

Just one of our batsman had actually committed himself for an hour or so and we'd have won this.

 

[GreekLunatic]

wouldn’t it be ironic a New Zealander winning the match for England

 

[SportsCentre]

Ugh, now Stokes gets to be out for the winning runs

It's going to happen, isn't it......

Stokes and Brook in the middle at the end.

 

[Gethelred]

Brooks goes out, it suddenly gets a bit wobbly.

 

[jb04]

Ugh, now Stokes gets to be out for the winning runs

Watch for the triple backflip. Carryon merchant.

Any mass beer tray throwings

 

[cats_09]

And now we've got more being taken out - maybe a review of footage

 

[Daka]

Jhye was clearly not ready for test cricket.

You can't be a frontline fast bowler for Australia and bowl 2 No balls in an over.
