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

    I think of the MCG goat track they played on in the 81-82 Test (Aust v West Indies). That pitch was demonstrably worse than what we saw yesterday. Even then "only" 14 wickets fell on the first day, the two first inning scores were 198 & 201 (despite each side losing their first 4 wickets...

    Blaming the pitch is just excusing ****house batting (for the most part).

    The Swansong - Departed Musicians

    I always look at this thread and think Swansong doesn't quite sound right. Bluesong seems far more appropriate. I can even offer up a thread theme song, quite rare as it is a Sherbet song that Daryl Braithwaite didn't sing lead on.

    After today - blaming the pitch when, in fact, terrible batting is at fault.

    It doesn't happen in the correct order for all catches. And stumpings for that matter.

    The thing is, I think the pitch has been fine. About the only criticism I would level at it is that there has been the occasional bit of variable bounce. This supposed excessive seam movement to me has been non-existent. Sure, there has been a bit of sideways movement but no more than I would...

    There has been a number of them. It used to be a great day, starting off with the NZ Test, then the Melbourne Test and (as has been mentioned) finishing off with the South African Test. About 16-17 hours or so of pretty much continuous Test cricket...

    I know the pitch is copping a bit of flak, but the batting today (both sides) for the most part has been putrid.

    Jacks has come down with a severe dose of Brookitis it would seem.

    Actually it's fair enough imo that they had a look at it.
