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

[jb04]

Don't mind it as much when it is wider like that. Even if it comes back a bit from out there its probably not chopped on. Yesterday's was a bit closer and nipped back just a touch. it can be a fine line, but these are Test level players.

Yeah the shot looks ****en lovely when it comes off, like it did a few deliveries later on in the over.

No but we should.

If they don't heckle all cheats, it lays bare their hypocrisy.

 

[Gough]

Trav batting like the second innings in Perth, all sudden he's scoring at nearly a run a ball and taking the game away from England quickly.

 

[Membling]

Stokes not openning the bowling with Tongue is one of the great mysteries

 

[Costanza_]

England need to get Tongue on before this lead gets out of reach.

Quiet Plug, no sensible advice for England please. Someone might think you weren't a die-hard Australian fan.

 

[NQPieman]

Sandpaper was pathetic. More embarrassing than the underarm cause at least that was legal.

Deserve to be heckled for it until the end of their playing days.

It's the inability of morons to be unable to move past it that becomes annoying for everyone. Never heard of forgive and forget? Second chances for people? Ability to learn and be better? Empathy? Nah let's just keep digging at the scab for the next 25 years. The worst part is the sanctimony from the average Joe who no doubt commits all sort of egregious acts in their lives sitting in moral judgement of blokes who did a silly act of cheating in a game. It's not and never was the heinous crime you think it is. FFS just get over it.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Stokes has way too much faith in Carse…to quote Geoffrey, “he’s rubbish”

Roobish.

 

[Struggle]

I hate that leg up pull shot from Weatherald just trying to guide it

maybe its a race thing

Give Duckett a bowl before Tongue

 

[MarcMaverick]

Weathers is a walking wicket.

 

[kickazz]

I hate it when they show replays of a wicket involving a player whos in and i walk in the room think he out

Bring back the R in the coloured circle.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Slower ball that got away from him?

edit: oh, possibly injury affected

 

[madjoe]

England's chance to win the game is now with Tongue and hopefully stokes on.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Atkinson just pulled his string.

 

[cats_09]

That's one way to defend a hat-trick ball

 

[peternorth]

Bring back the R in the coloured circle.

LOVE IT

 

[cats_09]

Atkinson just pulled his string.

Heart string or hamstring?

 

[Plugger35]

Looks like Atkinson has done a hammy, that will make it even tougher for England with Carse still serving up pies.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Heart string or hamstring?

Yes

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Atkinson just pulled his string.

Walked right off the field too

 

[grumbleguts]

I think it's the hypocrisy rather than condoning the actual act (which was stupid).
England have has just as much history of ball tampering, if not more. None of their players were suspended in any way

This is the issue for me. Such utter hypocrisy, it's why every single England fan should be tarred, feathered, covered in mint, and bottle capped for the sheer hypocrisy.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Wood, Archer and now Atkinson. Matthew Potts maybe for SCG.
