*Official* Fourth Test at the MCG

[Jacknife]

Bell had to pull that from leg and above his head, no control what so ever.

 

[Uppercut]

Bell, doing nothing to change his reputation here

Had a lengthy discussion about that with Marcuss last night. Kinda feel a lot of onlookers have labelled him a changed man a little prematurely, and his absence flattered him during the summer because he didn't have to deal with Asif and Aamer.

That said, England were 200 ahead with six wickets left. Even the old Bell would normally have owned in that situation.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

That was actually a good bouncer from Johnson there. Head high on or outside off. Nice and tight bowling to him for 13 balls, and Bell obliged. Well bowled.

It was fifteen miles above Bell's head and the line was somewhere around St. Kilda. Should never have been playing at it.

 

[Ruckus]

Let's be honest, how often does a 188 lead get overturned? This one's in the bag, chill

Haha false confidence just exudes from that sentence. But yeah, you are still well and truly in the box seat here.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Ian Bell going for 1 makes it a good day regardless of the rest

He's a bottom feeder.

 

[Burgey]

Yeah. Which is what makes it a decent bouncer to a bloke who's been bled dry wig one from 13. Sometimes that **** works.

Maybe the new Bell scores exclusively when we're in the ****?

 

[dfx-]

Calmly 260-2 before Ponting's 'discussion', now 287-5 to some less than perfect shots..

 

[Goughy]

My wife just asked me "who is that guy?" ie Watson in GIMH's av

So I googled him for her and, this is probably an old photo but I have not seen it, where is his penis?

 

[Jono]

This is why Chappelli is ****ing awesome at times.

He has pointed out how Collingwood's dismissal was a poor shot to a poor ball, whereas Bell got a good bouncer.

Great commentary.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Aussie could easily score 400-450 in their second knock and leave England with a tricky chase of 100-200 runs. I haven't ripped up my betting slip yet.

Oh mate, terrible for you. Sorry to hear that.

True.

But England are trying their best to give them a chance.

Don't know why you would want to do that.

 

[91Jmay]

Anyone care to point me to how Australia are going to score 400-450 "easily".

They scored it once in the series and that needed a partnership of 300.

 

[Son Of Coco]

The worst thing about that was when Ponting raised his finger, like he was giving Dar a lecture or something. Your not the boss Ponting man! **** off.

I only saw the tail-end of the incident, but it's pretty silly to carry on like a pork chop over an appeal you've reviewed. If it has come back not out after being looked at on video, just get on with it.

Barely anyone appealed in the first place, so there must have been some doubt.

See that cricket bat shaped thing in his hands in the pic on the left?

Watto... Has a lot of game

By easily it means that it isnt beyond the realms of possibility. England need 400 to be happy. Otherwise Aus still have a shout.

 

[GIMH]

Vintage Johnson here. Joke cricketer. Blight on the ICC Awards that they ever gave him cricketer of the year. Bloke's had five good Tests.

It depends on Ponting and Clarke. If we can bowl England out for a decent amount here and Ponting manages to get past 50 I'd start to worry if I were the English.

 

[Oscillatingmind]

Still have to get England out yet, seriously no chance at all of a win
