***Official*** 4th Test at the MCG

That's a great grab from Bairstow.

 

[Burgey]

Looking forward to seeing Mitch Marsh steady the ship after lunch.

 

[Cabinet96]

Some grab that.

 

[vic_orthdox]

Supposedly raining heavily at the 'G at the moment.

Think it might be good timing for the English though, not a terrible looking radar.

128 km Melbourne Radar Loop

 

[Adders]

Not raining here atm, but they got the big covers on and its pretty grey above.

 

[Adders]

Covers coming off now so play should start on time after lunch.

"No one likes Steve Smith" - Michael Clarke

you heard it

His English mother, deep down, probably likes him.

 

[Cow]

Draw still the heavy fav unless we get Smith with the new ball.

England have been unlucky with the weather... two hot days would have allowed the ball to scuff up and reverse.

 

[Burgey]

Australia will be all out by tea.

 

[Burgey]

And will win by 30

Anderson has been immense for England this series

 

[vic_orthdox]

Old fashioned leg cutter from Broad. Nice.

 

[Burgey]

Anderson has been immense for England this series

He’s been average. Some good spells and some unthreatening stuff. Turned up when he’s felt like it rather than done so consistently. But that sums him up as a bowler and probably as a bloke tbh.

5.5/10.

That play and miss from MM was to a ball about 2 feet wide of off with the bat face to cover point

Inspires real confidence

I think he's done well despite most often conditions not suited to his style of bowling, definitely could've done better but he's not atg level bowler

Broad making Marsh's pad look as big as Watto's.

Broad always should be the bigger threat in Australia. His performance has meant that Anderson's hasn't been as effective as it should have been. Anderson's ability to keep it tight when things aren't conducive allows him to support really well.

Cringe

 

[DriveClub]

Wrong decision to take new Ball, should've kept working on reverse swing.

 

[Daemon]

Anderson has actually been really good and will end up the 2nd best bowler of the series just like I predicted. It's not his fault he had literally no support.
