*Official* Fourth Test at the MCG

[Garson007]

Cook already has 8000 runs? Christ, he'll stroll past Sachin.

 

[Spikey]

Tipping Morgie to pipe up to ask if anyone else is nervous.

anyone else nervous this might not happen?

 

[Jono]

Lol bill lawry wag

 

[BeeGee]

Holy ****, finally

And Monty takes a wicket.

Cook is a terrible captain.

 

[Tangles]

Monty's wicket a **** you to Cook.

Nice ton by Rogers. Shame Watsons got runs though.

 

[Garson007]

Bring back Strauss.

 

[Spark]

And Monty takes a wicket.

Cook is a terrible captain.

It's pretty shoddy. Spinner bowling in the 4th innings, especially when the oppo spinner had just taken 5, is hardly anyone's idea of uniquely inventive captaincy

 

[Spark]

At least let Clarke get his 3 Watson

EDIT: What are the Barmy Army singing? It sounds like the Mitch Johnson song except obviously the lyrics will have changed...

 

[benchmark00]

Watson is inappropriate ***ual referencing England here.

 

[Tangles]

So Cook can win when the team performance is strong enough due to individual contributions. Otherwise he's clueless. Kind of like Ponting.

 

[Neil Pickup]

I now have the problem that my sleep patterns are so EWS'd up that I'm not going to be at all tired by the time this gets wrapped up.

 

[Hooksey]

..Cook is a terrible captain.

No question about that, and the Channel commentary team are laughing at Cook's field placements and lack of leadership.

England being absolutely humbled as Australia peel off the remaining runs with boundary after boundary.

 

[benchmark00]

Former Allan Border Medallist Shane Watson striking them well. Surely a slog sweep on the cards soon.

In contrast with Clarke who has got good purchase from utter ****e players at times,

 

[NUFAN]

Clarke is the best guy to reach 8000 Test runs this match.

Watson, again failing to convert his 50s into 100s

 

[The Battlers Prince]

Well done Pup. Incredible few years, top notch career

 

[Riggins]

Jeez stokes has been terrible today. Clarkey must be stoked he's still on.

 

[Jono]

Well done Clarke. Great achievement.

 

[Riggins]

Another similarity between the two skippers, Clarke also clearly doesn't rate panesar.

 

[Tangles]

If Clarke was his captain he'd still work out a way to use him to his advantage. Light years ahead of Cook as a captain.
