*Official* Fourth Test at the MCG

[morgieb]

Will be a very interesting chase this.

 

[Jono]

Warne completely correct about England's likelihood to collapse and Australia being in a good position.

 

[Maximas]

England had a golden opportunity to bat Australia out of this and choked spectacularly.

tbf it was the exact opposite when Australia batted in the first innings

 

[morgieb]

Last 5 wickets for 6 runs.

That's pathetic.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Going to be an interesting few overs this afternoon. Hopefully no wickets and Warner gets a few.

 

[fredfertang]

Last 5 wickets for 6 runs.

That's pathetic.

Makes a game of it though

 

[Burgey]

So chuffed for Lyon that my sunburn has stopped hurting.

Nathan Lyon: the aloe vera of life

benchmark00: there's a terrible terrible buckethead commercial

 

[hendrix]

Yeah that was a horrific batting display. I thought the way the West Indies folded in Wellington and Hamilton was pretty horrible but this was nearly as bad, tbh.

 

[Burgey]

Backing a tie here

 

[hendrix]

fdm, did Bumble just call Gaz the world's second best spinner?

listen mate, Australia and England are the only teams who play cricket. Everyone else is a chucker or a flat track bully or has a name too long to say.

 

[Hooksey]

Career best performance by Lyon.

You're missing him so much. Bringing him up every day. You're lost without him.

 

[Maximas]

Career best performance by Lyon.

Durham both innings' IMO

 

[Son Of Coco]

England have got off to reasonably quick start a number of times this series, only to grind to a halt. Thought Australia started off poorly with the ball this innings, but they always manage to get back on line before too much damage has been done.

It is, am going to have to write him that letter I promised I think. He's been outstanding 4 games in a row.

 

[Hooksey]

I'm going with this one.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Last 5 wickets for 6 runs.

That's pathetic.

Only from a batting point of view
