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

[JackOutback]

Green to make his reputation here.

Marnus is so lucky there's no one pushing for selection. He has been awful for a few years now.

 

[ams4crows]

If you nick the ball before you'd think you wouldn't play the exact same shot next ball

 

[Linda Lovelace]

Hey look, a guy who has sucked for 3 years sucked again.

Let's give him another 3 years.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Ouch. This is starting to look alarmingly similar to MCG 2010.

There's a stark difference in quality between the two England teams and the Australian bowling attacks.

 

[chriso11]

Send Marnus back to the Sheffield Shield. Farkin Gumby

 

[Proeagle]

Bad coin toss to lose this one.

We have been lucky in this series considering we have lost the toss, 3 out for 4 times.

 

[southern_crusher]

Why are we gifting so many wickets

Because we can't bat its nothing new been like this for about 2-3 years.

 

[TasSixer]

No one ****ing say anything positive about Smith and Khawaja ffs

 

[Westend]

Renshaw for me.
I would have had him in the squad for the first test.

I thought he was a huge chance but they stuck with weathers

For me you give weathers the series and look in bring in a new opener renners /kellaway

 

[chriso11]

Uzzie basically opening again

 

[NQPieman]

Evidence has been clear for a while, it's long past time Marnus needed to be moved on permanently. He's not th answer anymore. Numbers been falling for long time. He also doesn't move the scoring along and gets others into trouble.

 

[Aussie_boy]

Green to make his reputation here.

Would be a bloody good time to earn some respect

 

[hawkman]

Maybe we should have stayed with Green at 3 instead of Marnus

 

[outabounds]

Ashes are done and we are reverting back to our batting mediocrity that has haunted is for 18 months. I bet Cricket Australia will be absolutely pulling their hair out if this only lasts a couple of days.

 

[dumb]

bed wetting will be commencing

one step ahead of you buddy

 

[Coasters7]

Oh so now they bowl properly

They’ve bowled poorly on a good wicket and have got very lucky.

 

[cats_09]

Since Trav got out we've stopped looking to score or being proactive with trying to score and it's just allowed England to get into their bowling groove

There's no need to go all T20 mode but batting to survive isn't the option either

We took 15 runs off the Carse over to be 0/27 after 6 overs - since then it's 3/7 off 5.4 overs

Kinda need to try hitting the ball and scoring to get back on the front foot

 

[SSSSSS]

Marnus is trash with a bat now.

Luckily he's one of the great fielders.

 

[JackOutback]

Send Marnus back to the Sheffield Shield. Farkin Gumby

We did. He tore it up and demanded selection.

 

[scottywiper]

Can we play Marnus as a specialist fielder? Cos he's done as a Test batsman.
Doesn't know where his off stump is.

 

[MarcMaverick]

Smuth and Ussie are crap.

 

[sherb]

Well, this is going swimmingly.

Maybe this is the day that Boy Wonder will step up?

 

[two blue tiger]

Hope no-one has a ticket for day 4 - will be lucky to make lunch on day 3

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Australia losing wickets and Flem giving us every ****n thoroughfare known to man with a noun chucked in is making me want to Chopper Read my ears off

He will be on railway terms at this rate
