4th Test: Australia v England at Melbourne Dec 26-30, 2013

[benched tiger]

Usman's out with a hamstring injury for two weeks according to the Telegraph and not available for the Thunder tonight.

 

[Timbo]

Maddinson then. Or Lynn.

 

[Pete Cash]

Poor tim is too fat to bowl these long spells. He is barely rolling the arm over now.

 

[Xfactor1979]

Still going on about the large contingency of Victorians at the Mecca of the Bogans

Who cares? Mecca gets a million people a year, and you dont hear the arab world boasting about their record attendances

*catches stray fist*

 

[TheParraboy]

if poms are out there in the field tomorrow, what will bresnans speed be in 38c temp????

Dunno how he always finds himself in the England team.

 

[8Ball]

I'm not sure if England can carry 3 gingers in this side in the heat.

 

[Pete Cash]

Sidds needs to put up the big wall.

 

[8Ball]

OK might be in a bit of trouble here.

 

[jargan83]

Big trouble for Australia

Would love to get to at least 200

 

[Xfactor1979]

On Your bike, pretty boy!

* ps I love you Ryano, we should get a drink at the casino sometime.

 

[TheParraboy]

I have confidence in Siddle and Haddin

We will pass 255 just before lunch tomorrow

 

[TheParraboy]

Amazing crowds for a dead rubber 90k plus yesterday, 78k plus today, amazing really

Around 60k tomorrow ?

 

[8Ball]

I have confidence in Siddle and Haddin

We will pass 255 just before lunch tomorrow

ffs..

 

[TheParraboy]

* I meant to say Lyon and Haddin before

 

[age.s]

The MCG is always a slow two paced pos.

 

[Timbo]

Hadds must feel like a parent whose kids keep shoplifting he's had to bail us out that much.

 

[benched tiger]

Gee thats a piss poor batting display by our boys,mind you they were over due for a flop.

 

[Xfactor1979]

The collapse and abject performance bodes well for the South African series though

There will be a gluttony of runs against Steyn, Philander, Morkel and co

 

[TheParraboy]

Gee thats a piss poor batting display by our boys,mind you they were over due for a flop.

series secure - check, ashes regained - check, no problems from me.

Lets get these dumb innings out the way in dead rubbers, rather than 1st test of a series

Still a long way to go in the test though..
