*Official* Fourth Test at the MCG

[Jacknife]

He'd left the previous ball in exactly the same place, should of left it.

 

[Woodster]

Well bowled Siddle, would be hard to deny he's deserved that haul.

Bres gone for four.

 

[GIMH]

Bresnan gone, Siddle gets 5

Looks like we might be bowling soon. Ashes will be safe by close.

 

[Howe_zat]

Sigh. Bresnan fished at that like an Australian.

 

[Woodster]

He'd left the previous ball in exactly the same place, should of left it.

First look suggests it would have been a tight leave for a top batsman let alone a number eight. You're right the one before was very similar but difficult for a batsman like Bresnan to trust the leave there especially with it reversing in a touch.

 

[Woodster]

Be interesting to see how Trott plays this now. Maybe not so much while Swann's there, presumably will just continue as he has done. But if he finds himself with with Jimmy and Tremlett, can he and will he look to really step it up, he should do naturally, just get the feeling he won't be too keen on giving his wicket away!

 

[zaremba]

God, I'd love a combative 60 odd from Swanny right now.

Given the match situation, can't say I'd blame Trott for plying for the red ink.

I'd love to see Ponting's face after a combative 60 odd from Swann.

He's due a decent cameo to be fair.

 

[GIMH]

Played Trott

 

[King Pietersen]

150 up for Trott. What an innings, what a player.

 

[Jacknife]

Well done Trotty, we just need some batters to stay with him.

 

[Woodster]

Given the match situation, can't say I'd blame Trott for plying for the red ink.

Don't think anyone would begrudge him that. Would be nice for him to throw the willow a bit though.

Swann getting some short stuff here.

 

[cricman]

Has to be a Change of ends for Siddle?

 

[GIMH]

Hope he can make a double. Will need Swann to stick about though.

 

[S Chanderpaul]

Epic innings from Trott!

True English grit.

 

[Woodster]

Can see Swann nicking one to the keeper/slips before too long here and after a few more short ones round his napper.

 

[hazsa19]

Wouldn't mind if Swann just got out. Wince every time the ball goes near his gloves!

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Has to be a Change of ends for Siddle?

Might be making sure he doesn't get injured too. Will need him for Sydney.

 

[Jono]

I feel so sorry for Harris
