*Official* Fourth Test at the MCG

[91Jmay]

England look reasonably placed on the scoreboard. But we've seen them collapse so many times in this series who knows what is ahead?

I'd much rather be Australia at this point than England.

Agree totally with Bumble. Root has clearly got it into his head that he can't give it away, and he pats back so many half-volleys as a result of it.

I agree. England more likely to collapse than not, and agree with Bumble, but didn't like his horse joke much.

 

[Hooksey]

In the tea time break Watson said Boof Lehmann told them: "I want to make this the time of your lives."

Hard to imagine Mickey Arthur offering the team a thought like that when he was in charge.

 

[Hooksey]

The MCG crowd is approximately 800 short of the all time record at the moment. If only they hadn't put that darn slide in they would have had a few more seats to sell

 

[91Jmay]

Bell misses out twice there. Really poor.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

When Lton gives it extra flight, he looks the goods. Occasional quicker ball please, not the current slower ball.

 

[Tangles]

Is KP batting this way due to pressure for his spot? Or from the media reaction to another bad shot? Just play your own way.

Warne making a good point about sweeping the offie going around. He is capable when he try's of not talking just about lasagne.

if I have to ****ing watch Ian Bell bat all day tomorrow I'll kill myself

There are many feeling the same way.

 

[Tangles]

Got to think Mark Waugh would have been all over Lyon here. He thought all spinners should be smashed and an offie around the wicket? Boom.

 

[morgieb]

If I were Australia I'd be very tempted to bowl rubbish atm, just to see if they'd hit it right.

Hard to get at a spinner dropping the ball on a length at 90k per hour

 

[The Battlers Prince]

The Poms need KP to go big. I'm happy he's showing some mettle

 

[91Jmay]

There are many feeling the same way.

Only people who know nothing about cricket. Ian Bell all day would mean he gets a big hundred, which he generally gets in decent time and plays some gorgeous shots.

 

[Spark]

Dour, isn't it? Nothing especially looks like happening for either side.

 

[Maximas]

This is why we need Starc

 

[morgieb]

Watto back on the field. Good news I guess.

 

[Tangles]

You lost me. Must need another drink.

None of Warner, Twatto, Clarke, Smith, George or Rad would put up with it either.

 

[91Jmay]

No idea why Bell has stopped using his feet against Lyon. Very effective when he does it.

 

[Spark]

Geez if that had stuck
