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

[satty]

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

A 5-0 series win would have been nice, including extending there winless streak in Australia.

Who do you suppose replaces Weatherald, Marnus, Green and Khawaja then?

Weatherald, Labuschagne and Khawaja have all scored more than Green this series.

But for the record, I was against the Weatherald selection from the start, and wouldn't mind if he was replaced by Renshaw. Khawaja stays because it is probably his last test, Labuschagne is borderline but probably hangs on, and I've been saying Webster over Green all summer.

The same Bradman who smashed a century in a session and said batters in the 50s and 60s were slow and boring?

He did that with a smaller bat and worse pitches than this

 

[Southerntakeover]

Bowlers got routed. So much for the impossible mine field. Is it possible our batsmen are just shit?

If Trav doesn't tonne up, we don't win.

 

[Bedi]

Don Bradman would be rolling in his grave at this

he alone would bat much, much longer than the duration of this test match

 

[WeightOfTheWorld]

it is time to consider having the boxing day test at a diffeeent venue.

 

[Neese]

This is pretty sad

 

[k31th]

much better Starc! beauty

 

[Southerntakeover]

Love ya Starc

 

[Bedi]

That's the one!

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Who knew?

 

[Mister B]

About ****ing time Starc.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

And Ben Duckett is off to the pub

 

[NSWCROW]

Novel concept

 

[hawkman]

Full and at the stumps

One day it may catch on

 

[RandB]

Duckett did his job though.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

This seemed inevitable to me. Whether it be the openers, Brook, Bethell, etc, a few of them were bound to fluke a decent score throwing the bat and win the game.

Agree. Bazball like a broken clock. Occasionally it will be right

 

[western royboy]

That is truly awful batting

 

[scottywiper]

Nice footwork Hobbiton.

 

[kozi]

Did Starc actually bowl a yorker? Must have been a mistake

 

[SportsCentre]

First yorker from an Australian bowler since the mid 2000s

 

[satty]

That was long time coming.

 

[Doggy]

Who cares if they swing like a rusty gate to a nothing win

 

[cats_09]

At least these two are batting with purpose. Not sitting there waiting for their number to come up.

That's been the situation all match - bat with purpose and you can look in control

But when players go into their shells and start going too defensive is when it seems to only be a matter of time

 

[two blue tiger]

Duckett is so crap. Amongst the worst Test openers you could imagine.........
