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

[GreekLunatic]

Gladstone small was more durable then archer at least he could play out a series

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Me too but less fun when it's the most pitiful English bowling attack, possibly ever?

It’s what England deserve

 

[Bedi]

It is a bit but I’m a sadistic bastard when it comes to the Poms. Like being 9 goals up against Carlton at 3/4 time and being pissed off its not 15

Very good point!

 

[ams4crows]

Carse Atkinson Tongue and Jacks does not pose any threat, how on earth are they gonna take 20 wickets to win the game??

 

[ABAB]

Archer out for the rest of the series!

I guess he lost his favourite pillow????

Win a game?

Come on I know it’s Christmas but that’s asking too much

 

[Pistol Night]

Should have carried on instead of checking it in. This may have cost them the Ashes

 

[Struggle]

Fair play to Archer for bowling through a side strain while his heroic captain decided to be a specialist fielder for the day

 

[Redline]

There was nothing more predictable than Archer going home once the series was over.

No ****n way he bowled through it. I doubt he even has a side strain TBH

 

[Pistol Night]

He was shitting bricks at the thought of bowling to a fresh Smith on Boxing Day

[Silly Mid On]

Must admit I'm surprised by the Joffra news

Situation was tailor made for him - series over, nothing going on, ready for him to bowl thunderbolts

Alas, was not to be

 

[sherb]

Finally we get to see what Bethell is made of

One century in first-class, List A and 20/20 cricket combined, and doesn't average 30 in any of those three formats - although in Tests, ODIs & T20I he does average 30+ in each format.

Definitely a selection based on potential.

[Rich]

So Smith gets through another Ashes series without being dismissed by Archer

That's not as weird as a debut for a no.3 on Boxing Day with no FC centuries to his name.
That's wild.

 

[gordo2016]

Bethell averages 28 in FC cricket with no tons. Trescothick made his debut with a similar average, and he turned out ok, but at least he had a few centuries under his belt in county cricket before he played for England. Be interesting to see how Bethell goes about it.

Broad could roll off his commentary box chair into the side and still be comfortably their best bowler.

 

[Snake Charmer]

Pom’s sending Bethell in at 3 is piss weak. How can Brook not take this chance to step up

 

[Pistol Night]

No joke he probably could. And show more ticker than most of the current team

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Ive moved pubs.

4 members of the Barmy army are here.
3 pints of Carlton and a Hard Solo.

And a father trying to line up her married daughter with me.

Anderson could as well despite being in a retirement home

 

[Pistol Night]

Brook is the only Pom batsmen that genuinely worries me if he gets going. With Root I guess but Brook can do shit the others can’t
