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

Lol, 2nd XI, both teams missing their opening bowler and that’s Australia’s 2nd XI?

It was the batting lineup that lost it and Australia had their best 7 available.

Test went longer than Perth, so are we writing that one off too?

But but but if Carey didn't cheat England would have won the series

 

[Mr Meow]

maybe but it wld be f****g annoying if you were in a pub and they were all around you singing

There isn't a rule that touring supporters have to be quiet when they win. Nobody can accuse them of only singing when they win either. Their act might be boorish but the idea that supporters can't vocally celebrate a win is ridiculous.

This match lasted longer than Perth

An indictment on the state of Test cricket.

 

[jmac70]

Theres dickheads at the pub who have decided to pipe up and have started singing

I don’t recommend taking them on, unless you like drinking with a straw.

This was far worse than Perth. Only batsmen to score runs here were the guys that got lucky behind the wicket

England’s quicks are going down like flys

Breaking the 18 match losing streak in Australia
Barmy army deserve to party hard.

 

[norway blue]

Look good luck to young Bethel . He stepped up but is he really like David Gower. Technique , poise , discipline and bravery. Off course not yet. Wish we had a pup like him though.

 

[UnitedWarrior93]

Well atleast Root got to get a win in Australia, only took him his whole career.

Australias batting is fragile, the problems ste there to see when the cracks sre not covered over. Time for Green to have a spell, Usman will get his farewell test, Marcus in strife. Two innings where good balls probably got 4 or 5 wickets and poor cricket gifted the rest.

Perth was the first game. This was a dead rubber.

Worst day of my life

You must have had a great life so far.

 

[Doggy]

Why should Usman get a farewell test? Time to be ruthless.

Duckett will be filmed staggering out of pub tonight on turps

England winning in Australia is very unAustralian.

Enjoy your participation certificate, you Pommy flogs!

 

[eddiesmith]

Haha. You have been on these forums for more than 20 years. Imagine that?

Your LARGE cigar like fingers, thumping down on your keyboard. In between boat rides with gatorade in your hand?

Yes Edward.

Blah blah blah Troll, how many accounts you need to make?

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

The bowlers did what they had to do. They got us back into the game after a shit batting performance in the first innings.

The problem was, our pathetic batsmen turned around and did it again. This time unfortunately, it was too much to ask for the bowlers to repeat what they did first time around.

For the entire series, we've relied on a handful of players, and the rest have contributed SFA. After seeing number 11 have to come in and protect an opening batsman for one measly over, that's when I lost hope.

 

[beatnik]

You’ll find plenty of 5-0 calls on this forum and a couple in the media as well

A true moral victory…enjoy your participation certificate

 

[Cleavy]

batting coaches from both sides stealing a wage

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

Australia thoroughly deserved the loss. Picking Cam Green and not playing Cummins was admitting they weren't serious about winning.
