4th Test at Old Trafford, Manchester

[stephen]

Can’t see us winning a match down under whilst Smith is around, let alone a series. They’re a chance of being beaten away from home whilst Smith is the lone ranger though.

Bloke has taken 24 wickets in 4 tests so far. Still has a shot at anther 26. That has to go down as one of the best performances of all time that's been largely unrecognised by the media.

Cummins? I wouldn’t say it’s gone unrecognised at all. Maybe slightly in the shadows of Smith’s performance, understandably so.

After play yesterday Michael Holding asked Cummins if it was his turn to be rested at the Oval.

Roller is wearing off.

He's had less column inches dedicated to him than Archer, Warner, Anderson or Jason Roy. Just slips under the radar with his excellence.

24 wkts is good but hardly one of the best of the Ashes, never mind best of all time.

Ashes Series: Alderman 42, Hogg 41, Alderman 41, Lillee 39, Johnson 37, McGrath 36, Thomson 33

So Cummins has quite a few wkts to go yet before being an ATG series

 

[Burgey]

Alderman and Lillee took 80 odd between them in 81 in a losing side. ****ing insane

In 78/79 Hogg took 41 wickets at 12, Hurst took 25 wickets at 23 (more than any English bowler) and Highs took 19 wickets at 24 and Oz still lost 5-1.

That was meant to go with the next statement "That has been largely unrecognised by the media".

Of course we saw Mitchell Johnson a few years ago have his 40 wicket ashes but the media celebrated that like it was 1999.

Probably the bowler who had the most similarly unrecognised gun ages was Simon Jones in 2005 who took 20 odd in 4 tests and was instrumental in the English series win.

Siddles haircut is just atrocious

stuart clark in 06-07 would be a better comparison imo

 

[Arachnodouche]

Michael Holding becomes almost affable again when he sits in with Isa Guha. One hears heavy breathing too.

Grimmett in '30 would have to be #1 on such a list imo

 

[GIMH]

Missus is making a roast dinner shortly, if we do hold on and it goes to the wire I wonder how she will react to me telling her I will eat it in the living room

 

[trundler]

Denly has displayed a degree of testicular fortitude not commonly seen in a pommy bastard. Played. He's grown on me like Burns.

 

[aussie tragic]

So I guess England have now found their opening batsmen for awhile.

Good thing Root has 3 ducks in the series and Aus let Roy score 31 so that he plays as a weakness in next test

We have Sibley waiting for a chance who can’t force his way in.

 

[Groundking]

Well done Denly, I would usually ask to double it but I really don't care, just bat the rest of the day please.

 

[zaremba]

Warne saying that Denly's 50 was warmly received "by this knowledgable crowd." One of the stupider commentary clichés. FFS, there are massive scoreboards telling the crowd what score he's on.

We also have Pope.
