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

[Timbo]

Ashley Mallet would never have dpne that.

Ashley Mallet was a helluva player at taking match conditions into consideration.

 

[King hit]

First time in ages Smith has had a shocker

Smith channeling a Victorian ATM.

In this innings, Cook has gone past Border and Jawardene and is 1 run away from moving into 7th (past chanderpaul) on the all time runscorer list.

Aussies seem to think turning up for day 1 is enough to win a test match

It normally is against the Poms.

Should have made 500. Lucky we have guns like Oozie and the Marsh brothers to save us!

 

[Rabbits20]

While the English should've reviewed those LBW's the umpires need to get that right.....

All series pretty much the calls have went our way.....

So when the calls go their way in England in the next Ashes I'll be reminding all the Aussies that that's how it goes.........

Woakes showing some grit here to hang in with Cook as well.......


They reckon Curran goes ok too....

 

[Rabbits20]

I do hope Cook gets 200 though...... he deserves it

 

[ANTiLAG]

Mitch Marsh bowling his three card trick to Cook - two wide half vollies followed by a wide long hop. Then repeat for rest of over.

I hope he chases down Tendulkar's run record, just 'cos an opener from England is one of the more difficult batting roles around.

So do I but shan't happen....

Cook's only 32 and only plays tests - n England play a lot of tests

So he's a good chance unless some crazed Tendulkar fan reads the Steffi Graf/Monica Seles fan memo.

I think he just turned 33.

2 good years left in him...

 

[Rabbits20]

England would love a lead of about 80 and then have us 2/30 at stumps......

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Straya gonna lose the next Ashes 4-1

 

[King hit]

He was a very good player Martin Love. Unlucky to play in the era he did.

 

[hineyrulz]
