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

[Pistol Night]

Anderson could as well despite being in a retirement home

They couldn’t win out here with those blokes and the 1000 test wickets they brought. What hope have they got with C.Arse and that other shit campaigner

My favourite day of the year.

7:30- wake up, shower and a tugg
8:30 - train to Richmond
9.00- first beer of the morning
9:30 - more beers
10:30 - first ball
12:00 - lunch and more beers
2pm - 5 gets a bit hazy
6pm - dirty royal
9:00pm - bed

Day 2.. do it all again .

I'd save the tug for after the Royal personally.
Although I guess if you're repeating this every day, technically the morning is adequate.

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

Have you seen Brook bat?

 

[Borisdog]

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

Stokes is going to put a disguise on for the odd numbered overs and bowl from both ends all innings.

The tug advice is going to cause the poor bloke confusion here

Stokes, Woakes and Foakes can bowl from both ends at anytime

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Id tell you what the Barmy army members are saying but I cant understand thier accents.

I might need to speak yorkshire as a translator

 

[gandaal]

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.

Is the cupboard really that bare that this guy is the next best batsman in England? I don't get it. Absolute scrub Australian shield players go to Country cricket and average over 50. Surely they have better options with good records.

 

[RandB]

Archer out for the rest of the series!

I'm reading that as 4th test slightly injured 5th test cbf.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Poor Jorfra didn’t last the series I guess he is injured due to this batting

Over-prepared?

 

[Snake Charmer]

Have you seen Brook bat?

The bloke that averages 50 and is the VC? Take some ownership I say.

 

[Scorpus]

Jacks, Atkinson, Carse and Tongue would have to be up there as one of the worst bowling line-ups ever fielded on our shores by a top Test nation

Augurs well for us over there next time if they have no talent coming through. I was half concerned with Ussie, maybe Smith, Starc, Lyon, Hoff at the very least probably not being on the next tour of England we might be in trouble

It's not as bad as the last Sri Lankan lineup that came out here a while back, but it's the 2nd worst I can think of.

Ussie, Hoff and Gaz are almost certain not to be there in 18 months time imo.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

I never saw this much English in the 9 days I was there than this afternoon at the pub

 

[SportsCentre]

"Only bowl fast when there's nothing going on champion"

Well, now he's not even gonna bowl fast.....

This was as certain as night following day.

 

[CakeEater]

Archer is off on a series long smoko now

 

[Tugga27]

Some briefcase w***er must have been a bit overzealous with his phone

 

[JimmyBC]

There's better Shield attacks.

 

[Pistol Night]

There's better Shield attacks.

How’d ya be being a young up and coming batsmen and NSW roll out Starc, Hazlewood and Cummins in the Sheild in October

Soon people are just going to have to wake up to the fact that test cricket is in the toilet. English cricket might be circling the drain faster than us, but they've got their hands on our ankles.

Every top side is rubbish compared to their glory days, including our Dad's Army, which will look even worse once our top players finally age out.

There are pretty obvious reasons for this general decline.

 

[TasSixer]

Now you know the rules.

Youve got to let them win

reminded me of this ad

I heard Michael Atherton speak about this at some length and he said the IPL was the slow release death pill of test cricket which you can understand when you look at the money it generates and the players that get absolved into it. I hope he’s wrong because **** T20

I am sure they would be sh*tting themselves. Just like how Victorian players sh*t themselves when Hazelwood, Starc and Lyon played for NSW (Cummins was missing for Abbott) in November by only smashing them by 300 runs.

The NSW cartel are very good bowlers but they are not superheroes, despite what all the media members relentlessly jerking them off will tell you.
