*Official* Fourth Test at the MCG

[Jacknife]

Swann's got his fingers under that, but I'm not sure they'll give it.

 

[Spark]

Sky showing the wickets again now - only the ball to get Hughes would you say was an average ball and all 4 of Anderson's wickets were excellent deliveries.

Yeah precisely. Some of the shots weren't the best, but given that the ball was moving both ways, it's very difficult to leave good length balls outside off stump.

 

[pskov]

I think that chance is one of those where it was a catch but TV umpires will never give it.

Fair call on the rest of them but Smith's was mainly just a joke of a shot.

 

[hazsa19]

haha that's a nonesense call

 

[Uppercut]

Lol, how was that a dead ball.

 

[Jayzamann]

Rhino totally played at that, gagf.

Pushed very hard, but credit to the bowler for putting it in the right spot and moving it.

 

[Burgey]

Have a go at Anderson gobbing off when he's bowling half rat power hoopers with a thunderstorm over his head.

Wouldn't feed the ****. Hope someone crushes his larynx when he bats with a well placed short one.

 

[M0rphin3]

How on earth was it a ****ing dead ball?

 

[Son Of Coco]

Hmm, some people here being a bit harsh one feels. Can't bowlers just get wickets any more through their own good bowling?

*sigh*

Yes mate, they can. Can't batsmen be expected to tough it out when there's a bit in the pitch though either? Looking mainly at Phil Hughes and Brad Haddin here. I think people have a right to be disappointed with the shots these two played in particular, I'm pretty sure most people of a sane mind would agree England have bowled very well again today.

There has been some very good bowling on a helpful deck...but if that's all it takes for us to be 7/70 then we have some problems. Wouldn't you agree?

 

[Spark]

Yeah true, but that's two out of eight. Two bad shots =/= 8/80

 

[Ausage]

Have a go at Anderson gobbing off when he's bowling half ray power hoopers with a thunderstorm over his head.

Wouldn't feed the ****. Hope someone crushes his larynx when he bats with a well placed short one.

This. Hate the man pretty thoroughly tbh.

Doubt that is all it took. We still manage to **** the bed even with helpful batting conditions. First innings Adelaide for one.

 

[hazsa19]

These subs do my head in. Just play the game.

Aleem Dar has probably never seen Ryan Harris play a proper cricket shot before so don't blame him if Dar can't recognise one when he tries.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Haddin's was terrible too. What made it worse was that you could see it coming from the way he was playing beforehand.

Haha, you know he'd be right on the Australian XI teamsheet. :P

You only have to be attempting one tbf. And you can't doubt that Rhino is trying awfully hard

 

[fredfertang]

At least Australia can draw some comfort from Clarke top scoring
