More green tops please.

I can feel a collapse coming on, will England make it through to day 4?

 

[Mr Brightside]

Seen about an hour of the last 2 days , 59 minutes of it Tuggas brother has been going on and on and on and on about how close the slips are.

 

[tigerman]

What a great bouncer from Green.

I wonder how much he gets paid nowadays from his Indian bookmaker mate for the so called "pitch reports"
And to think after that he becomes an Australian selector, and a nuisance as a commentator.

He’s unbearable. A complete flog. Warne not too far behind him I hate to say.

Can the Pommies be deported right here and now?

One of the most elegant batsman we’ve seen and very good fieldsman, pity he didn’t have anywhere near the guts of he’s brother , not sure the records , however seem to go cheaply when we were 2 for not many imho.

Very very critical and negative commentator I feel , could always have done better himself .

I know averages are not everything, however averaging just over 40 says to me he was lucky to play as much test cricket as he did. Much better one day cricketer imho

Agree on both counts.

 

[CarnTheTiges]

Agree on both counts.

The ABC’s commentators have it all over Fox’s team, especially this test without Maxwell and Chappel.

I couldn't agree with you more, especially about Maxwell and Chappell.
It's not hard to work out why Botham snotted Chappell and chased him out of that bar 40 odd years ago.

Feeling a lot more comfortable now thanks to Green and now Cummins. We finally have a catcher out at deep mid-wicket for Stokes early in his innings rather than allow him free boundaries.

Poms still a long shot with Root and Bairstow to get. Pope, Billings and Woakes all can add runs with support from the tail. Still a chance.

Bairstows not playing. Pope came in for him. This is all on Root from here on, and if the others can stick around with him.

 

[Redford]

If Australia get on with it, we can have this woeful England team on the same plane as Novax and deport them both at the same time.

With Root gone (that kept super low), you'd think this match will be over tonight.

Let’s hope so.

One more day closer to round 1.

Just looked at the series bowling stats.

I reckon everyone would have fallen over laughing if someone had said that 2 bowlers would have an average of less than 20 for the series, and those 2 bowlers would be Boland and Green.

 

[Redford]

Good grief. That is just the worst shot.

 

[mrposhman]

Even for England this is poor. 7/39.

Meanwhile a pom is smacking the Heat all around the MCG.

To save the Australian Summer, a mercy rule should have been introduced after the third test. Then we could have gone to the Bangladeshi’s or Scotland and asked them if they were busy. Canada ?
