***Official*** 4th Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground

You know, Monty's batting doesn't seem as bad as people make it out to be. IMO he'll score a 50 in his career. He's better than McGrath when he started, at least.

England to bat first - Well at least Warne's 700th should be today

Read in.

Looks like a pretty good wicket. Looks flat, but there's grass there. Hopefully it'll seam around a bit.

Nice of the England management to finally pick their best side. Better late than never I guess....

oooh. Not so sure Cook touched that. Gilchrist wasn't either. Looked almost embarrassed to appeal.

 

[superkingdave]

Bell in, bring Warney on

Great work from Clarke in the field there. Saved at least two.
