I will direct my anger at the Melbourne weather gods, just when we needed rainy miserable days , they decide to give us a nice stretch of warm weather.

Spotlight will go firmly onto the failing batters in this series tonight, it's been covered up by the team winning but there will be a few blokes being put through the ringer in the media and rightfully so. If Bethell can make runs look easy established batters like Labuschagne should be doing better.

 

[Peter Bixley]

In his own delusional mind Labuschagne will be thinking he could spin us to victory. Or bounce them, whatver mood he's in.

In his own delusional mind, Labuschagne will be thinking he can bat.

Except at the W/BBL

Where your ears bleed

We need a Michael Clarke against India in Sydney display now.

It's just the MCG that is problematic as a drop in. It's old and outdated pitch technology. Adelaide and Perth are fine as drop in wickets.

Perth isn’t same issues as the G

may as well give Richo another bowl

Might as well. We need to see if he gets a go in Sydney. Haven’t seen enough to know how he’s actually going

Smith mentioned that Richardson is short for a fast bowler. Seemed odd to say about him, given his first class record.

I think Smith is a conservative captain who prefers traditional bowlers. I am probably reading too much into it, but I don’t think Richardson conforms to Smith's idea of a fast bowler.

 

[largebus]

With a small total you need wickets and smith's fields have not been aggressive enough, as usual.

Just as i say, Bethel gone. Game on

 

[two blue tiger]

It is beyond stupid to have men everywhere in the outfield when they only need 40 to win. Any chance - any chance at all - that a directive might come out from the coaching staff to change this around and make them have to play good shots to beat the field? Ridiculous captaincy........

 

[Bedi]

Scotty!!!

 

[SC_Power]

Poms would have to Royally choke to lose it from him

Here it comes…… here it comes…..

 

[GreekLunatic]

If the ashes weren’t won if Cummings would have played this test

 

[k31th]

finally get right out of here Bethell

 

[satty]

In his own delusional mind, Labuschagne will be thinking he can bat.

Think he hypnotized himself with the constant 'no run ' shouts .

Now his brain has switched into 'no run' mode.

 

[Scorpus]

Still impossible to get a 50 on this pitch

Get ready for the “tired it’s been a tough series” excuse

Where your ears bleed

Rather listen to Dwayne Russell sing Jimmy Barnes covers

 

[Headless]

Really impressive catch.

 

[rdhopkins2]

Would laugh if England lose a couple of quick wickets here just to keep it a little bit interesting.

 

[kozi]

Green run out and Smith not opening with Boland is the game

 

[Bedi]

We need a Michael Clarke against India in Sydney display now.

6 for freakin 9!
Edit: Actually that was in India...

 

[Westend]

good should've been out first ball

 

[Gethelred]

That third man on the boundary not being in a catching position in gully or third slip is shithouse.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Thought Khawaja spilled it given his lack of reaction.
