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

[Bedi]

He is streaky and his technique is non-existent.

Usually does not end well.

Not going to argue against that. He is the English Konstas.

 

[Jimthegreat]

Naturally it doesn't go to hand.

 

[Voice of the G]

What would be the point of that? Why would either side put any effort into an exhibition match. Fans, players and even the FTA broadcaster can't give a crap about ODI cricket anymore - let alone one as meaningless as that

If they are going to play 2/3 day test matches perhaps the players might have to take a payment cut.

 

[Gethelred]

Scotty cranking up the speed!

 

[Dixie Flatline]

There isn't enough money in the world that you could pay me to watch Brett Lee play a "gig".

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Yeah dickheads.

I'll say it when we win or lose.

Just annoying boors. Pack mentality stupidity

But but they’re amazing, singing the same three songs on rotation for the last 30 years.

 

[satty]

As good a player Smith is, he is a terrible captain when he is under pressure.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Thoughts?

Glad i muted her long ago

 

[Jeremy Jordan]

There isn't enough money in the world that you could pay me to watch Brett Lee play a "gig".

And I’d pay anything to watch Richard Chee Quee. We all have different tastes

Don't forget the big clap they give themselves at the end for being such clever boys

I'm more of a Shane Lee kinda guy.

 

[k31th]

Carey just as imperious behind the stumps... ridiculously good

 

[cats_09]

This partnership is up to 18 runs from 24 balls with minimal risk

Makes our efforts over 2 innings more frustrating

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Look at England batting now. Got nothing to do with the curator.

It does.

The pitch is where it should be. Yesterday wasn't good enough

 

[satty]

Carey slowly morphing into dhoni behind the stumps with the quick stumping efforts.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Cmon, 3 or 4 quick wickets, they can win but make it interesting.

 

[AlwaysHawks15]

Poms would have to Royally choke to lose it from him

It's over. They will ask for an extra half hour tonight if it gets to that point.

 

[Marstermind]

As good a player Smith is, he is a terrible captain when he is under pressure.

His batting today was so selfish. So determined not to get out on this pitch that he burnt all the bunnies down the other end.

 

[JackFlash]

Two days at the MCG and the match will be over in perfect conditions. I suspect that the fan will be hit severely at the offices of Cricket Australia this week with "Groundskeeper Willy" called in to explain? What a huge disappointment this match has been.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

It's over. They will ask for an extra half hour tonight

They wont need it

 

[Peter Bixley]

This partnership is up to 18 runs from 24 balls with minimal risk

You'd take Smith, Head and Carey into the next series. I'm not sure any of our other batsmen should survive this series.

 

[k31th]

This won't go past 5:30pm, either way

 

[cats_09]

It's over. They will ask for an extra half hour tonight

They need 42 runs - not sure the extra 30 minutes will be needed

 

[cats_09]

Neser again

 

[kickazz]

Really interested to see if anyone walks back their remarks on the pitch.

We won't see what it would have turned into.

It was tricky to bat on, but I don't recall many balls hitting batsman etc. I just think the Aussies batted shit today.
