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

[eddiesmith]

It's was more England supporters who were saying 5-0 if you read the BBC Cricket comments as this is what the team deserve. This wasn't a very strong Australia team even with Cummins, Hazelwood and Lyon.

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

Imagine how much money Cricket Australia lost, with this Test ending in 2 days...

Two 90k+ crowds at the MCG

In the words of Frank Tyson .... all those meat pies gone to waste.

 

[grumbleguts]

3-1 Eddie.

Haha! That prick calling someone a troll.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

At least the English have some good courses to play over the next 3 days

The sandbelt is getting a workout

 

[Borisdog]

A lot of whinging sore losers around here...

Yep, we don't like losing. You lot, on the other hand, try to tell everyone it's all part of the plan when you get flogged.

If your management had anywhere near the level of introspection as self-delusion you'd probably have won a few more over the journey.

 

[sherb]

Shit batting.

Sssshhh, you can't blame the batting..........

 

[GreekLunatic]

England might be off to Byron bay Noosa did the trick for them

Piers Morgan had England 5 - 0. Just another English ****nuckle

 

[BarryMorgan]

What a complete disgrace. Worst Test I think I’ve ever seen.

 

[Coasters7]

Aussie fans, haha we’ll win 5-0, England haven’t won here since 2011.

England breaks the drought, oh means nothing, test was a joke…

You won by 4 wickets in one of the most ridiculous tests of all time, in the best “Bazball” scenario of the test against the second XI.

Classic English mindset of getting up and about when there’s nothing going on.

 

[Duckimus Prime]

During Page's time in charge, the MCG wicket has gradually become one of the best wickets in Australia.

The only people that believe this are Victorians that have never seen another cricket pitch.

You have been strangely absent until now.

I wonder why that is

 

[BillyElliott]

Theyre 3-1 down and carrying on like North Melbourne fans winning a game.

Can't blame them for celebrating, considering how long it's been for a win here & how they've played in this series.

 

[philreich]

This Test lasted 852 deliveries - 5 more than Perth. Ridiculous!!!!!!!

 

[010203]

I'm not surprised England won a Test in this series but I did expect it to come in a 'live' Test.

 

[GreekLunatic]

I miss the days of the great West Indies team that was test match cricket this see who can make 300 the quickest

 

[HirdsTheWord]

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

m8 this is basically essendon winning a single final.

England haven't won a test in Australia for like 15 years or something

of course they should be celebrating

 

[Mr Meow]

Theyre 3-1 down and carrying on like North Melbourne fans winning a game.

What are they meant to do, be mute? It's just a really silly thing to have a sook about. It's always great to beat the Poms. It shouldn't be a big issue to acknowledge when they play better and let their supporters enjoy winning a Test over here.

[sherb]

Selectors will blame the bowlers as they didn’t carry the team on there shoulders again

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.

 

[Cmarsh]

Aussies are descendents of England et al so it fits the DNA bill

There's lots of Australians these days who have their decendents completly nothing to do with the British Isles. Its not still 1850.

 

[MisterMarcus]

You have been strangely absent until now.

I wonder why that is

Like AFL supporters when your team has flogged them for years, suddenly piping up when they win a meaningless Round 24 dead rubber against you....

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?
