*Official* Fourth Test at the MCG

[HeathDavisSpeed]

Well, well, well. Bresnan putting on a bowling masterclass here. Absolutely took Hussey apart in that over. Superb stuff again, forcing Hussey to play at a ball he should have been leaving. The set up in that over is right up there with Martin Bicknell vs. Jacques Rudolph.

 

[Prince EWS]

Agreed

Bresnan has been average to very poor in his tests before this and has virtually never looked anything close to international class

The first couple of times I saw him bowl he looked pretty good to me - I expected this sort of bowling pretty regularly. He's never really done it up until now though.

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Mr Cricket 0!

Smith to save the day

Start the car.

This spell from Bresnan is like Broad was at Oval 09. Awesome and from nowhere.

Ugh, Hussey goes, time to turn this **** off.

Hussey

Bresnan was the better bowler at Bellerive, in my view. Shahzad started with a bang but Bresnan was more consistently threatening. Would back him to be the most likely to trouble guys like Hussey on a pudding MCG where Shahzad might slide onto the bat at a good hitting pace.

5/****-all for the game so far.

 

[Ruckus]

He's in woeful form but no doubt Ian Chappell will put it down to bad luck

Yeah haha laughing at Chappell before saying that. Seems Slats has jumped on the bandwagon as well.

Back luck my ****ing ass! Bad luck hardly lasts a series, let alone 4 years.

5 for the game so far.

What is next week's winning lotto numbers?

Well, well.. England retaining the Ashes in Australia with a game to spare.. who'd have thought it.

This, people will say it was a bad shot and not a great ball but the over confused him, that and twatto's dismissal they're afraid to leave the moving ball. Pressure pressure pressure

Swanny!!

 

[hazsa19]

Swann's having a lovely time bowling against Clarke.

 

[thierry henry]

What does everyone think of Tony Hill as an umpire? Pretty good imo

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Is this the same pitch we got 513 on?

GIMH:

Seems about right

Bresnan, WAG

Tried to look for a video of this, but couldn't find one. From this test match:

5th Test: England v South Africa at The Oval, Sep 4-8, 2003 | Cricket Scorecard | ESPN Cricinfo

Bicknell bowled Rudolph two perfect away swingers and then bowled an in-swinger, Rudolph leaves and Bicknell castles him. Perfect example of the swing bowler setting the batsman up.

On another forum I visit, the consensus of one poster is that Mitchell Johnson is fast turning into Australia's answer to Steve Harmison or Devon Malcolm.

Shows how much of a tool ian chappell is.
