The Ashes - Fouth Test Thread

The Ashes - Fouth Test Thread

Starts tomorrow. Gettin excited about it already. This series has been unbelievable so far, far exceeding the hype (which was pretty hyped up to begin with).

England are unchanged.

The convicts are bringing in Shaun Tait for his debut in place of Gillespie. McGrath is a doubt (elbow), with Kasprowicz on standby.

Personally i reckon its just a bit of mind games and he will be there on the pitch ready to go tomorrow morning.

We should be 2-1 up. But were not. Lets just forget about it and keep bowling like we have. COME ON ENGLAND!

Pitch looks no good for warne either so COME ON ENGLAND

hopefully Harmison can produce the form we all know he can. He's been a bit of a let down so far imo

Sean Tates a very good player and can take alot of wickets, He'll move the ball around and around a bout if not a bit more pace than Gillespie and has youth on his side. Can be a dangerous player especially as hardly if anyone will have played him before and wont know how to handle him could cause alot of problems.

Im just worried about the weather again cost us last time out and the way things have been recently im woried we could end up loosing this series or drawing it because we live in a country with shit climate despite playing the best cricket.

Cant wait for tommorrow

I seen Tait play at Durham last year, nippy bowler, lacked accuracy and had a big problem with no balls. I can see him either bowling really full, being drove thru cover and mid off, or bowling half trackers and being smashed thru cow and mid wicket in this test though.

Apparently the wicket is flatter than Paris Hiltons chest so it's going to be a batting paradice, unless it gets really overcast and McGrath will exploit the swing.

Aye he aint bad, better than Gillespie, but may have first test nerves

McGrath is ruled out of the fourth test!

McGrath out, won the toss, bugger all spin on the wicket, sun is shining so should be a run fest....

woop woop

whats the score ?

134 - 1, rain has stopped play again

137-2

Trescothick's been bowled by Tate and it was a cracking delivery.

146-3

Bell....... Bowled Tate caught Gilchrist

we always start dodgy after a break !

Doesnt look like it.....

Their best bowler easily, not only taking 2 wickets but hes been the least expensive and ecconomical.

213-4

Vaugha - bowled Ponting caught Gilchrist

241 - 5

Pieterson bowled by Lee, caught by Gilchrist

since whens it been cool to admit you like cricket

u can tell when england are playing poo at footy, fans will grasp onto any sort of international victory

Its a sense of National Pride, we've got to have something to hold onto

what's the score ? are we still in ? if not have we got anyone out yet ? etc etc..
