Bog is bogged. Imagine the ignominy for the English attack if Hollow Man b
Improves his average,again

Now Puddle plays on. Sigh.

by skully Wed 27 Dec 2017, 00:23

England back in this.

by skully Wed 27 Dec 2017, 00:24

Looks like Tree Fitty might be a decent total.

by horace Wed 27 Dec 2017, 00:27

Hope Bird's batting has improved.

Hollow Man's leaden hands make him vulnerable any movement or change of pace.

by skully Wed 27 Dec 2017, 00:33

Well, that was England's hour.

by skully Wed 27 Dec 2017, 00:35

Fitty to Bog.

He has scored some useful runs for Tassie this year. I expect that he would score slowly on this pitch but might be hard to get out.

Big appeal. Not out - reviewed. Looks close.

by skully Wed 27 Dec 2017, 01:03

Out.

6-314.

by horace Wed 27 Dec 2017, 01:05

Gawn. Bog still struggling to get his average to top 40.

James Faulkner should get another go in Test cricket.

by skully Wed 27 Dec 2017, 01:16

Third play on this morning!!!

7-318.

Lol. At least he'd take wickets and I'd back him to bat better than Marsh jnr.

Of course we could play the highly successful Tasmanian Shield Team, minus Wade of course.

Alternately Langer would argue the Worrier shield team - about as successful in recent years as the Tozzies.

by skully Wed 27 Dec 2017, 01:25

Tweety gawn to Sturat.

8-325.

by skully Wed 27 Dec 2017, 01:27

I think Smith would've preferred to have England in the field through the hot arvo.

Good bowling by England.

One is forgivable, two is careless, three means the otherwise has worked out the conditions better than you.

Sturat is bowling annoyingly well this morning.

Jimmy goes part Courtney. Next stop, Pidge as far as quicks go.

by skully Wed 27 Dec 2017, 01:31

England's morning taking 5-82.

Aus 8-326 at Lunch.

by JGK Wed 27 Dec 2017, 01:35

8/326 would have been a good first day's entertainment.

Is the MCG in danger of losing a Test because of the consistent shitness of the wicket?
