*Official* Fourth Test at the MCG

[Spark]

I do know that. Was replying to the comment about there being a lot of life in this pitch. It's moving around a touch, but there isn't a lot of life in it. There certainly isn't much pace.

Not a lot of pace hence it'll be much easier in the afternoon IMO but there's enough sideways movement. And the odd one is showing some bounce, especially from Tremlett

 

[Burgey]

This must be a plan, surely. There have been a looot of balls well down leg.

Nah. Field isn't set for it tbh. Just bad bowling.

 

[TumTum]

Hughes has looked the best so far



He'll get out now though

 

[flibbertyjibber]

They look all at sea but they are still there, need them at least 4 down by lunch or we have wasted the chance.

 

[King Pietersen]

Matter of Tremlett getting carried away, trying to bowl too fast and pushing it down the leg-side I reckon, not bowling those deliveries on purpose.

 

[Spark]

This is so dodgy

 

[Jacknife]

Jimmy really does deserve more than he's getting here.

 

[Prince EWS]

Hughes has looked the best so far

This post perfectly sums up how Watson and Ponting have looked today.

 

[Flem274*]

Ponting surviving so well here.

And how Hughes didn't edge that onto his stumps I have no idea.

And that was just shirt lads, though here comes the challenge.

 

[JBH001]

Ooooh, that's the line, Jimmy.

Not that one though, off the thigh pad, I think.

Edit/ That referral was more about frustration than anything, I think. I didn't think it was out in real time.

 

[LegionOfBrad]

How the hell did that miss lol

 

[Spark]

Not hit that. Wicketkeeper's appeal, that one.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Didn't look out to me.

 

[Manee]

I love the way Ian Bell's face looked under hotspot, he looked like an alien.

 

[Prince EWS]

Matt Prior would be the worst umpire in the history of cricket if he took it up. He's talked Strauss into so many stupid reviews.

 

[Jacknife]

I thought that was straight glove in real time.

 

[Burgey]

Have to say, that never ever looked out live. Thought it was a ****house referral frankly. Terrible from your short leg there too not to speak up.

Suck ****, frankly.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

This is so dodgy

At least one of them will ton up though. Jammy *****.

 

[Son Of Coco]

England pinning all their hopes on the leg-side dismissal it seems.

 

[GIMH]

Great stuff this, from an enjoyment POV
