Doherty got his man job done!

That will be his 3rd and last test wicket I expect.

Now for North's last innings.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Nice to see Siddle back to his best:

54 overs, 211 runs for no wicket since his 6-for.

 

[Meth]

Siddle has one good innings every 6. Will probably produce a pearler in game 5

 

[eagles4eva]

England declare 5/620

The torture finally ends, let’s see the Aussies put up a fight

I wanted okeefe

+2

Already proven he can bowl well against the Poms

 

[beads6]

Well I feel like we are in opposites world.

dougys pace has deterioated dramatically

Siddle is averaging 5km faster per delivery on average

Bollinger has been sh*t in this game. Only Harris has looked a test bowler.

Doug obviously decided he needed to fill Mitchell's role in the team, sh*thouse left arm fast.

This was on the cricinfo commentary

Australia face a massive challenge here, on a pitch that is beginning to show signs of sharp turn. Watson was moving very gingerly in the field this morning, and Katich is very obviously in some distress and limping. Will he need a runner? With Clarke's dodgy back and almost the whole seam attack carrying minor niggles, Australia are walking wounded and will have to dig really deep. Ponting suggested on the third evening that this game would be a test of what Australia are really made of, and that it certainly will be.

Fkn dead set, these are pretty minor niggles compared to other players who have batted with injuries.

Man up u bunch of pussies.

 

[TheParraboy]

0/10 - 1 over

Should run down the poms total by the 40th over

 

[Parra Guru]

0/10 after 1... for a minute there I thought Doherty opened the bowling

 

[Parra Guru]

Sounds like Sunshine needs to settle down

 

[beads6]

Attacking mindset is great if we don't lose an early wicket we should be ok. Good start from Watson. The only way to go is hard in this situation IMO.

 

[Parra Guru]

Attack the right bowler. IMO They should be cautious with Anderson and go after Broad as the cherry wears. Broad will drop his bundle pretty easily IMO.

Either way it's good to be positive but we need to have a good think. Especially with rain looming, we need to keep our wickets in tact.

 

[Meth]

Watson has to post a big score if he is going to come out in this situation and play this sort of cricket. Great to watch

 

[beads6]

Good start from katich batting on one leg.

 

[Parra Guru]

Mind you seeing Anderson belted around is good for my work day which includes a meeting at 2pm with my boss who has just spent the past 3 days with the Barmy Army

The Trott drop didn't help.

TBH our batsmen were the problem in this game - there is no excuse for scoring 260 in Adelaide. To then compound it by dropping catches made life very tough for our bowlers.

Doug should have had two wickets in 4 balls.

And remember we've seen 2 roads so far this series.
