*Official* Fifth Test at the SCG

[Jacknife]

To remind us about how bad it used to be.

Exactly, watching that has made me appreciate this series that much more.

 

[Johnners]

Sigh, just plain depressing. Hilf has to have played his last test match, just does nothing. Continue to bag Johnners all you like, but as I've said plenty of times, at least he takes wickets. He won't bowl like he did in Perth every match, Hilf on the other hand....

Only thing left in this match/series is for the batsmen (hussey aside) to show a bit of gall for once.

 

[Furball]

Just looking at the ftp, are we going to play the series against BD and ZIM?

How the hell can we host Zimbabwe in the middle of winter?

Test series against Bangladesh has been cancelled.

Wonder if CA will regret that given the obvious rebuild that needs done.

Pretty sure I heard somewhere we were pulling out of those series.

Cue GIMH to say something that we don't wanna lose to those sides or something similar.

 

[zaremba]

No declaration, happy with that. I'd love a further flurry from the last pair

 

[Noble One]

Australia will struggle to pass 300. The body language suggests we are already defeated.

 

[pasag]

I want us to avenge our 2007 home defeat to India in the summer as well. Felt we were pretty unlucky to lose that series tbh; robbed by the rain at Lords and were beaten in the second Test because we lost the toss. For some reason that series still grinds my gears.

Reckon you would have won the first Test if you didn't muck around so much in the field.

 

[TumTum]

Hughes get closer FFS.

 

[zaremba]

Shot! Tremlett coming down the pitch...

 

[Burgey]

Young bloke just asked me whether Beer will get a beer if he takes the last wicket. Quality.

By that reckoning what will Hussey get if he scores a hundred?

 

[joels344]

Finally.

 

[Son Of Coco]

Roll on being all out for less than 200.

 

[four_or_six]

Awesome stuff.

 

[Furball]

Probably the best ball Hilfenhaus has bowled all series.

 

[hazsa19]

Surely Aus can't collapse again, looks a road tbh.

Knew all this talk of deterioration was bollocks.

Swann to get 5

no reverse jinxing on my watch!

About the same as Hal Hooker.

Let's just see what happens. The lower order slogging with a lead of 300 against a demoralised attack is a thoroughly different affair to the openers starting 360 runs behind facing a hot new ball attack

About the same as Hal Hooker.

And what was Mitch's reward for bringing about the end of Bell?
