*Official* Fourth Test at the MCG

[Cevno]

Ponting is starting to look better here.

 

[joels344]

Nice job Watson.

 

[Ausage]

Watto learning from past mistakes to bring up his 50. Guy needs to go on with it here if we're going to stand any chance.

 

[cricman]

Ponting looks much better ... this should make for some good drama

Tremlett tiring

EDIT: tea

 

[Cevno]

Quite Potential for a Pace Attack off

Broad, Anderson, Finn and Tremlett

Isn't Onions better than Bresnan?

 

[hazsa19]

Another fascinating session of test match cricket, Aus need to get to stumps 1 down, England will be pleased with 2.

 

[Jacknife]

Isn't Onions better than Bresnan?

He is when fit,still trying to recover from a long injury.

 

[Spikey]

yessss another tea history thing.

 

[Furball]

This has an Oval 2009 feel to it. Reckon this might be a big partnership, but once the breakthrough is made a collapse won't be far off.

Bresnan's supposedly an allrounder tbf.

 

[Cevno]

And whatever happened to Sidebottom?

 

[Cevno]

Bresnan's supposedly an allrounder tbf.

Does his batting justify playing him in place of say Collingwood then ,when Broad comes back?

 

[Jacknife]

And whatever happened to Sidebottom?

Retired after the T20 WC, mainly to get a get a longer CC contact with Yorkshire.

 

[cricman]

Isn't Onions better than Bresnan?

Bresnan seems to be a favorite of Flowers and keeps it tight with the old ball and gets it to Reverse from time to time.

I haven't seen Onions bowl to rate him but it seems he's a New Ball Bowler, where Bresnan is 1st change, don't know how that fits into Englands plans

Collingwood's current form is woeful, so maybe yes. Though I don't rate his batting really.

From what i have seen of both .

Onions seemed better than Bresnan.

 

[flibbertyjibber]

To be fair to Watson and Ponting they are battling hard, they might not look convincing all the time but at least they are fighting which is more than you can say about the 1st innings.

Thanks.
Would have certainly added more variety to this england attack,but i guess was too troubled with injuries.

 

[hazsa19]

Bresnan and Onions are very different.

It looks like Bresnan is there to keep things tight, Onions could bowl amazing balls. And I mean amazing, he made Kallis look silly a few times, but so silly that it missed the edge. But he was also very expensive, a bit like Finn.

 

[Jono]

yessss another tea history thing.

Aren't they fantastic!
