4th Ashes Test: Australia v England at the MCG, Dec 26-30 2017

[Haffa]

Warnie is bisecting Smith's numbers.

Bi-sexting?

 

[_snafu_]

I reckon Mark Greatbatch should be in the top 10 batsmen since Bradman.

 

[2 weeks]

Smith going on 4 years since he got out here.
Going okay.

 

[2 weeks]

New ball finally taken.


5 overs too late.

Nothing gets past Root.

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Why does Broad need 4 warm up balls?

 

[hineyrulz]

Warnie on deciding his top 10, “numbers and stats don’t count”


You absolute plastic plank.

 

[hineyrulz]

Why does Broad need 4 warm up balls?

He’s had 4 warm up tests.

 

[ANTiLAG]

I reckon Mark Greatbatch should be in the top 10 batsmen since Bradman.

Only if Mitch Marsh gets 6th.

Funnily enough - their best and most famous efforts were arguably both at Perth thus far pending where Akram and Younis rate on a greenie.

 

[hineyrulz]

Boring cricket played on a flat boring slow deck.

My bisection of the game so far: Australia in a helluva good position

 

[King hit]

Slow run rate, what was the story? Didn’t bat as well or did England bowl and field well?

All Khawaja's fault.

All Khawaja's fault.

I blame Renshaw

Very unfortunate England don't have a John Snow in their line up, Averaged a tick over 20 away from home. Hellava bowler....

He was no Ashley Mallet though.

Warner made it look easy....

England overall bowled quite well and consistently not getting much from the deck....

Australia have been quite disciplined and patient.....

Bancroft was out of sorts and couldn't get going....

Khawaja with experience had to do more..... 5 off 46 balls at one stage and it affected Warner and would've frustrated him......

Then Smith has been in cruise control and Marsh has done his job.......

We are looking to try score 450 ish and have a quick go at England for 20 overs tomorrow.......

Anderson, Broad bowled well without much luck and Curran tried hard and was trying things.....

Ali was shit and Malan went quite well...

 

[TheParraboy]

Stumps 3/244

We are in front, but getting Smith early tomorrow morning might sway things a bit. Surely Mitch Marsh is gonna flunk this time around?

Poms: Will look to bowl us out for under 375
Us: We will look to bat till after tea day 2, get around 500-550 with 10-15 overs at them tomorrow night

I think Australia would be in trouble if England had Jason Floros playing for them.

Greatbatch didn't get to bat on the current joke WACA or this pitch. Smith is wonderful but by god these are roads

You could say they’ve got a good handgrip on the game at the moment.
