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

[MarcMaverick]

MCG 2nd most seam by venue. Perth being 1st

 

[Pistol Night]

The seam graph shown on 7 then probably justifies us picking 4 quicks

 

[RookiePick]

Atkinson is a better bowler than Xarse.

Atkinson being the victim post GABBA was bizarre. Clearly their best non-Archer quick on tour.

 

[philreich]

Stating the obvious here but Carse is shite

After the second innings in Adelaide, maybe he's been picked for his batting?

 

[Pistol Night]

Atkinson is a better bowler than Xarse.

Not even a debate really is it

 

[dogs105]

Would your best XI for the series have Weatherald or Crawley?

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Going to be hard work for your runs

 

[MarcMaverick]

Bethell already doing more that Pope.

 

[Sketi]

Carse opening the bowling hurts my bleary hungover eyes

Normally if it seams it spins. (I can cite cliches like a real commentator.) We'll see what happens as the ball gets older, that might tell whether going without a frontline spinner looks the right call.

Jake. At least he’s occupied time a bit more at the start like an opener should. Crawley you always feel is a chance for a Starc first overer

 

[HBF]

Be good if the sun could break through the cloud cover.

Get pissed again quick!

Tick over at 3 an over with no risks is all they need to do

Too early to say. Crawley looked much better last innings ditching Bazball. Maybe there’s an actual cricketer in there.

 

[Gethelred]

Yeah, that ball held up significantly.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Be good if the sun could break through the cloud cover.

Its starting to in town

 

[TigerCraig]

He’d be bowling a beautiful line to Micheal Slater

California Penal League ?

Yeah agreed

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Carse really is awful

 

[dogs105]

California Penal League ?

How'd he wind up there?

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Just put in a wide leg slip if you're bowling there 6-7 times an over (no-ball dependent).

 

[MarcMaverick]

Tick over at 3 an over with no risks is all they need to do

Yep, plenty of 2s and 3s out there.

 

[Pistol Night]

Carse really is awful

It’s right there in his name. We should have known. He’s not Cawesome

 

[dogs105]

Carse really is awful

Can't spell Carse without arse
