*Official* Fourth Test at the MCG

[Dan]

He does that ridiculously often. So frustrating.

 

[Neil Pickup]

This Test continues to play out like a selection of random YouTube highlights videos being stitched together.

Why does nobody know where their off peg is today?

 

[MW1304]

He's flat out left a straight ball. How bizarre.

Yeah he's not God appaz.

 

[Maximas]

I have seen worse leaves from Clarke tbf.

Rogers to repeat his Durham performance

 

[steds]

Shot

 

[Hooksey]

Another bloke bowled leaving the ball, strange.

...

Carberry, Monty & Clarke all in the space of 13 wickets, and that's just off the top of the head.

 

[Tangles]

Was too close to leave without the deviation.

 

[Spark]

I have seen worse leaves from Clarke tbf.

Rogers to repeat his Durham performance

Really? I haven't, not significantly worse anyway.

 

[andyc]

Really? I haven't, not significantly worse anyway.

This one is a fair bit worse IMO

 

[steds]

Haha. That's class

 

[Maximas]

Yeah, I had the video andyc posted in mind when I said it wasn't his worst leave

 

[Neil Pickup]

Exhibit B
Exhibit C

EDIT: What Cameron said. I am old and haven't learned how to embed videos yet. I was also looking for further exhibits.

 

[Spark]

This one is a fair bit worse IMO

apart from that

It does not look likely now, Clarke just got out for nothing and the back of the Australian innings is broken with Rogers and Haddin seemingly the only hope and Rogers has done nothing so far as a test player. England not very impressive but the old weakness in the Aussie batting has been exposed. I think England have this one in the bag already, signs not too great for upcoming series against South Africa, with our fragile batting line up our bowlers will have to carry the team over there.

 

[steds]

SpofforthLohman is being extremely mean. Taunting us with "England have this one in the bag already" whilst knowing full well that, on current form, the chances of us making more than 70 in the second dig are pretty damned poor. Cut me deep, that one.

How about Perth centurion Smitteh?

 

[ajdude]

could've hit TPC lace out with a drop punt the distance I was from him at one stage <3

 

[wiff]

This game panning out like the WACA game. England made 4 more runs here though. Australia to make 389 here, with the best batters still to come.

edit: andyc has beat me to it

 

[SpofforthLohman]

Sorry mate, it is just that there are deep scars from the last 8 years and I just said it how I saw it. You really should expect more than 70 in their 2nd dig,,, they should get 140 at least, if they do then Australia maybe will need 300 in the 4th innings to win. I wasn't trying to taunt anyone except the Aussies in the hope that it might sting them into batting better.
