What did he say?

With Smith there is no grey area

 

[Headless]

Really impressive catch.

Actually not as spectacular as I thought, but solid nonetheless.

 

[satty]

Right, 6 wickets left.

You know what time it is boland.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Why this man lacks a statue is beyond me

 

[Jimthegreat]

We were 3/136 in that Boxing day test in 1998 chasing 175 then got rolled for 162. Not sure history repeats though.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

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

Yes I agree. Smith will be allowed to pick his retirement date (personally I reckon the next ashes might be it for him) and the other two are in good form.
Realistically these are usmans farewell games. Weatherald is a place holder at best. Marnus is cooked. I do think green is ultimately test standard but hes way out of form and should be dropped for Webster for now. The problem is im not sure who the batsmen to come in are.

 

[kickazz]

Ok Yorker first up and he's probably out

 

[jb04]

lol don't give me hope guys please.

 

[western royboy]

Stand up here Carey

 

[Scholz Supremacy]

You know exactly what Harry Brook is going to do here.

 

[Portmagpies36]

Imagine the losses through ticketing, catering, accommodations etc over the next 3 days.

The sponsors would be pissed off the most, not to mention the TV rights and their sponsors

 

[Chuckie357]

Scream a bit harder mark Howard - we’re still getting pantsed

 

[Dazza the Viking]

So MCG curator who’s from WA, did he check the lead up weather in Melbourne or was looking at Perth’s weather

Still reckon Australia batted poorly

 

[010203]

Brook could finish this in 15 minutes or Australia could have a wee glimmer of hope.

 

[cats_09]

Who's surprised to see Brook charge down the wicket first ball

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Brook nearly caught behind and bowled in the same ball

 

[sherb]

We are at the stage where we need this to happen. Where's Sarfraz Nawaz when you need him?

[Bedi]

Too early to be ordering more cement for another statue??

 

[JimmyBC]

Rather listen to Dwayne Russell sing Jimmy Barnes covers

Whoa Whoa oh oh he's a working class dwayne!!

 

[satty]

Bring starc back in . Set him loose against the new batter.

Even if it is only for 1-2 overs. Still our best shot at a wicket.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

You know exactly what Harry Brook is going to do here.

Be a dickhead?

 

[Bucking Beads]

Its mid strength and it should be shot into the sun

I do agree with the super crisp variety needing to go in the bin.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Boland needs to be bowling from both ends. It's our only shot.

 

[Dazza the Viking]

We might of been a chance if Boland open the bowling, strange decision he didn’t

 

[Linda Lovelace]

Still impossible to get a 50 on this pitch

That's better. The crying over the pitch had subsided a little, let's get these pathetic tears flowing again.
