Oz v England 4th test thread - Melbourne

Sloppy

It's turning already

Monty must be kicking his lips about a 4th innings track after Johnson has pounded it down

Aye, thats assuming we get to bowl at their 2nd Innings given form so far!

 

[Former Player]

Bad shot playing away from his body. Cook has looked very jumpy and out of sorts.

 

[BIG BAZ]

Another great knock from Cook

Waft

Carberry needs a 100 to show he is up to test cricket

Just steady the ship till lunch. Keep the scoreboard ticking if we can.[DOUBLEPOST=1388019188][/DOUBLEPOST]Big test for Root here. I like him but we should remember he's only just started his test career and he looks like a kid to me being asked to do a mans job. He does seem the type who will relish it rather than choke though.

 

[Former Player]

Root looks like a lost boy. Hope he can hang in there and get a decent score.

 

[Aleem Dar]

Quite fancy a banana guard now.[DOUBLEPOST=1388019761][/DOUBLEPOST]Gone from scoring at a decent rate, to our usual 2.5 an over. Still, get time at the crease and get the confidence and runs will come.

 

[Crayon]

Carberry's hanging in there but you hardly ever see him get the odd single. As a bowler, there's few things more frustrating than batsmen picking up the odd single or two each over.

Has somebody took a dump in the middle, flies all owa.

They are absolutely minging. The umpires should be out there with some fly spray.

 

[Steesafc]

Important not to have lost another wicket before lunch but those two really look like they're getting bogged down. Got to try and keep that scoreboard ticking over just to try and put pressure on their bowlers!

 

[Mainze]

Could turn into Australia's day this in the last 10 overs.

Different day. Shame it took for the Ashes to be lost for KP to bat properly. If we can get anything over 350, we might be able to salvage a draw.

I watched the first session and we were going pretty well.

Had hopes of switching on this morning to find us 300-4. Nowhere bloody near sadly.

Indeed, useless f***ing twats. On the plus side this tour should see some changes at the top

Bairstow backing away to square leg against Johnson is embarrassing and shows that he will never be a test cricketer. You can have the best coaches in the world at your disposal but they can't teach someone to be brave.
