4th Ashes Test : MCG

[spell_check]

That's what I was talking about. Another point I might add is that Chanel 9 is not alluding to a perfume, rather it's missing a 'n'.

But why dont they reveiw every ball thats bowled in this test match

[fish]

We didn't find out for a couple of years that the ball that dismissed Shane Beer at the WACA was a no-ball - these checks have only come into vogue this year. I wonder how many dismissals have been wrongfully given over the years that you could find out in the archives of the Chanel 9 library?

Heard on the radio that Michael Clarke was given not-out in similar circumstances - not sure when and where. Field umpire referred the decision to the third umpire who called it a no-ball.

Not out, play on. Correct decision.

Ricky Ponting thrown the ball to Steve Smith to try and speed up the declaration

At 5-396 England have now more than QUADRUPLED the Australian total.

5/400 lead now over 300

Getting totally smashed around the park now

6th wicket record partnership of 148 between Trott and Prior, between Aust & Engl and the MCG breaking an 82 year record

Getting totally smashed around the park now

Happens when you bowl snot! Seriously Johnson either bowls short or full and wide, thought he would have learnt! Smith has landed some nice balls but has bowled some rubbish as well reminds me bit like MacGill - except he could turn the ball

AUS got Trott set, they bowled full and straight early to a bloke who loves the on side!

I mean why not watch what ENG were doing, areas they were hitting? Bowl to create pressure and force the error not look for that magic wicket ball every since delivery!

[locky801]

Engl 5/437

Trott 138* (why havent i got him in my dream team)

Prior 71* off of 94

The Barmy Army are in full voice!

[Phantom Gossiper]

The Barmy Army are in full voice!

as they should be

Not all bleak, Johnson has knotched up the aussies 1st ton of the test .. and it only took him 25 overs!

[locky801]

with pretty good reason i would think

[fish]

I think he has been very disappointing today - he has bowled plenty of deliveries wide and short. His two wickets were caught in the deep.

Frogcrap
360 balls a day usually bowled in Test Cricket
To single out 1 f...g ball is a f....g disgrace
Its all or nothing

Thought there were 90 overs in a day? 9x6 = 54 therefore wouldnt there be closer to 540 balls in a day?

Question is now how long will England bat, probably have enough now to win by an innings and plenty the way we have been batting. I can see England batting till about an hour after lunch tomorrow unless they throw wickets away, have a lead by then of around 450. If that ends up the case it will be all over before lunch on day 4.

[bayman]

i thought they'd bat until tea TOMorrow, lead by 500+ & therefore make a statement after perth test, as there are 3 full days left....i can't see australia surviving 7 sessions to save the match

[Adelaide Hawk]

I hope they declare soon and put us out of our mysery. Even if they declared now, we would need 500+ to put any pressure on them, and that's just not going to happen. Our batting line up is garbage.
