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

[pjcrows]

All that mocking England for losing a test in two days is going to come back to bite

We already won the Ashes.

 

[WeightOfTheWorld]

Reminder that Aus holds that precious urn. Nothing else matteras.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

No one cares about Bay 13.

Next ashes it should be back in Australian hands

 

[jb04]

Are they going to shithouse their way to a 10 wicket win? **** me.

 

[satty]

I wonder if this ashes series is on pace to complete a 5 test match series in the fastest time in test match history.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

This unplayable minefield better start doing its thing for us soon else we are in big trouble.

It's almost like the wicket has just had the heavy roller on it and they're benefitting from that.

 

[Young Redleg]

Should be Neser's last over of the entire game

 

[RandB]

45 off 36 lol

I mean, we knew it was coming but geez we've made it easy for them.

 

[Scorpus]

Possible 3-2 result, with Heads innings turning the Perth test the difference going to be a very different vibe at the end I reckon.

Moral victory is on.

No issue with a moral victory after we win the series 3-0 if it keeps the current goobers running England cricket employed

Of course I'd prefer us to win 5-0

 

[Bedi]

Poms will win this easily now we screwed

Boland may have something to say about that. If he gets a bowl that is!

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Once the heavy roller wears off, one imagine that the pitch starts playing tricks again.

But it also goes to show that Australia left a good 50 runs on the table in both digs.

 

[western royboy]

This is finishing today

Rest Day tomorrow and then play another 2 Day Test on Days 4 & 5

 

[Costanza_]

I don't buy this "nothing to play for", "dead rubber", "who cares" line of thinking. Every test match is important and I was very much enjoying the "winless from the past 18 attempts" stat.

 

[satty]

Even with 3rd umpire catch calls

Quite literally everything has gone against us.

 

[Firewalker]

So it’s just ended up being the perfect storm of England finally sobering up and recovering from their massive hangover from Noosa just as the Australians hangover from Adelaide is at its worse.

 

[Pivot Piece]

if this is the future of test cricket, is it time to have the conversation about 7 test series?

 

[Marstermind]

This is was Test cricket has descended to. Batters going out and having a slog and hoping it comes off, bowlers just roughly putting it in the right area and letting the pitch do the rest. All over well within two days.

Can anyone recall a worse completed Test match?

 

[CakeEater]

Next ashes it should be back in Australian hands

Oh, so Cricket Australia arent going to burn one of the plastic seats and sent its remains back with the Barmy Army?

 

[Visions]

Going to be over just after tea, so not even lasting 2 days.

Where does that stand in the shortest tests ever?

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Don't think I've ever seen a shi.tter test match than this crap..........

Don Bradman would be rolling in his grave at this

 

[Plat the Rat]

48 hour bender after retaining the ashes not an ideal preparation for Boxing Day,
Same thing happened it England when we retained.

 

[Topkent]

Few triggering things, Starc smiling with the missed shots and the missed LBW. Glenn McGrath doesn't smile in that scenario. I reckon this team is already satisfied with the job done. Same way they blew the series in England after we retained it.

 

[ABAB]

TBH, England should have won the 1st Test given the position they were and 2-2 going into the SCG. We aren't that good to whitewash them 5-0 with big questions around 4 of the 11 players.

 

[Coasters7]

Don't think I've ever seen a shi.tter test match than this crap..........

This is the only scenario Bazball works. It’s a load of shit.

Ride your luck chasing a small 4th innings total and look like heroes.

 

[Westend]

Swings and misses
