*Official* Fourth Test at the MCG

[91Jmay]

Oh that is brilliant.

NO BALL.

 

[Burgey]

Looks a no ball here. Fmd if Prior goes on to make eight...

 

[Uppercut]

Atherton proving that was indeed a ****e bouncer from Johnson.

You think?

Given that Bell was actively looking to play the pull shot.. I think that's a pretty decent place to put it. Much more likely to get out to that than he is to a more orthodox "accurate" bouncer.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Ponting about to explode!

C'Mon Mitch, get him again...he's **** anyway.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Ponting'll love that after giving Dar what-for earlier. Brilliant stuff, there. Bloody close though.

 

[Ruckus]

Haha Aus are just clearly not meant to win this.

 

[Burgey]

Don't worry. Just bowl two bouncers to him and he'll **** himself again.

 

[vcs]

Australia could really, really do with not taking wickets off no-balls here.

 

[Oscillatingmind]

thats why you don't upset the umpire.

 

[91Jmay]

I hope Dar did it deliberately to piss Ponting off.

 

[hazsa19]

Dar must have loved that. He's only human.

Yep for Bell that was a good bouncer. A player of his height would never be able to control the shot on a ball that high up.

The ball to get Collingwood however was a poor delivery that received an even poorer shot.

 

[HeathDavisSpeed]

That is some beautiful umpiring there. Absolutely top notch.

 

[Jacknife]

Prior better make this count.

 

[vcs]

In the midst of all this, Trott seems to have quietly turned into one of the best No. 3s in world cricket ATM.

 

[Goughy]

For all the banter and the bull****, anyone else think this is a pretty amazing and energetic days cricket?

Spot on, had it all.

After the two early wickets, the first session was fairly flat, but the 2nd session has been electric.

Yeah. Obviously in theory Bell could very easily have just watched it sail over his head, but that's besides the point- he was never going to.

Yeah it's been a top day tbh. About as good as you could hope for given the total lack of scoreboard pressure on.
