I've been sitting on some news lads, my missus is newly pregnant with our second child. I think the name is now settled, Boland Costanza_.

Not going with Seven?

Tip my hat to the selectors. Boland has bowled incredibly well. Fantastic performance

Just remember posts from fossils like this bloke and how absolutely ridiculous he must be feeling now:

What a joke, worried about being backed up.

They want to play an indigenous player, this is a CA feel good moment and nothing more than that, almost now hope the poms win this match.

Decided to ignore Boland’s performances in the Shield and at the MCG. Instead, putting his selection down to tokenism and CA wanting an indigenous, feel good story.

Boland with the best ever 6-for on Debut. Previous best was Charlie Turner back in 1887 (6/15 - always was expensive).

The best-ever 5-for on debut. was 5/15 by Philander.

Others:
7/29 - Kyle Abbott
8/43 - Albert TRott

Got the most wickets in the series so far.

Cummins missed one

Boland 2

 

[Westend]

Lol we scored 267 and won by an innings and 14 runs lolololol.

Yeah I know we should be happy but really that’s not good for cricket

England basket case atm

 

[Gough]

Bugger whatever anyone says and it doesn't matter if England are s**t, winning the Ashes still counts for a bit more than any other series.

Cheers England, 3-5 days of sitting on the couch enjoying the test now gone…

Was thinking the same thing, and just as the weather was reaching perfect for cricket. Well time to go the beach or something.

 

[ScrappyCoCo]

Not really sure it was the pitch tbh...really good bowling and some below average batting.

Extremely worrying for England they have lost 4-0, 5-0 and now again most likely 5-0 last 3 tours here. Root has a pass mark the rest epic fails.

That 4-0 was saved by a very poor MCG pitch (I think that was the first strike they received).

 

[madmug]

Top o' the morning to ya Boland haters

Who are they? Who else would they have called in at the last moment?

Cheers England, 3-5 days of sitting on the couch enjoying the test now gone…

I wonder what the Barmy Army will get up to now? Sing stupid songs to each other for 2 days?

Shortest test match in Australia for 70 years

So where does this leave our bowling lineup?? Richardson seemed rather confident he would play a part in Sydney and/ or Hobart. In his interview the other day on 7 he sounded like he had been told he was being rested but would play again. Add in Neser who has trotted around as number 4 for a couple of years now and was 'rested' this game after finally getting a run and bowling fairly well. The resting policy has made things a bit difficult now.

Hayden is even more insufferable than normal.

Turn the **** volume off.

 

[Freezin]

No doubt the MCG pitch will come under scrutiny for being a tad dodgy after this result...LOL...

 

[Santana]
