*Official* Fourth Test at the MCG

[GotSpin]

Has to be said. **** me Watson is dumb. What kind of shot is that to play just before Lunch.

Plays like a little kid

 

[GotSpin]

It does not look likely now, Clarke just got out for nothing and the back of the Australian innings is broken with Rogers and Haddin seemingly the only hope and Rogers has done nothing so far as a test player. England not very impressive but the old weakness in the Aussie batting has been exposed. I think England have this one in the bag already, signs not too great for upcoming series against South Africa, with our fragile batting line up our bowlers will have to carry the team over there.

Didn't you realise that Clarke reversed the batting order??

 

[SpofforthLohman]

Well lets hope he can do a repeat performance, I sure hope so, we need to unearth some more top class batsmen as Clarke is only human and can't always carry us.

 

[hendrix]

This one is a fair bit worse IMO

matchfixing?

 

[SpofforthLohman]

Oh yeah I forgot, he should have opened the batting with Lyon and Siddle, those two are dynamite openers

 

[Maximas]

Sorry mate, it is just that there are deep scars from the last 8 years and I just said it how I saw it. You really should expect more than 70 in their 2nd dig,,, they should get 140 at least, if they do then Australia maybe will need 300 in the 4th innings to win. I wasn't trying to taunt anyone except the Aussies in the hope that it might sting them into batting better.

Yeah but we are only 3 down, I don't we've seen enough to conclude that any 'underlying problems' are back or whatever, give the rest of the batsmen a chance before you make a judgement

yeah I didn't understand why the commentators weren't criticising him for it. Yeah, it seamed a touch but it was nowhere near full enough to be driving.

 

[andyc]

I mean it's a tough catch but he got a whole hand to it. Really should've held it.

Monty employing the rank full toss to Rogers tactic

 

[andyc]

Does Monty always start his spells with a rank full toss?

 

[steds]

It's all part of his cunning plan.

 

[Hooksey]

Monty employing the rank full toss to Rogers tactic

Worked beautifully too.

 

[GotSpin]

yeah I didn't understand why the commentators weren't criticising him for it. Yeah, it seamed a touch but it was nowhere near full enough to be driving.

As a top order batsmen Watson gets caught far too often going for his booming drives. Needs to leave more especially with lunch one over away

 

[Neil Pickup]

Got slated on the Sky feed. "Looks like a shot you play to a throwdown."

 

[Jono]

Let's do this Rogers. Ton up in Melbourne would be so sweet.

 

[wiff]

Test debut for Rogers at the MCG

 

[Tangles]

Slow from the Aussies. Poms scoring rate doesn't look as bad as it did yesterday. Sky Comms think the pitch is lacking pace and doesn't come on. Such a big difference from Perth.

 

[Neil Pickup]

PLEASE nail him. In the face.

 

[Zinzan]

lol, I get the feeling I'm the only guy in the world who actually doesn't mind Piers Morgan Say what you like, but the guy obviously has some ticker

 

[Viscount Tom]

Brett Lee might get a knighthood before Warne.
