Australia vs England
Preview
England still have the upper hand going into the final two Tests of an enthralling Ashes series, needing only one more victory to retain the coveted urn against Australia.
Australia go into Sunday’s fourth Melbourne Test fuelled by the momentum from their emphatic 267-run victory in Perth, which levelled the series at 1-1. But they cannot afford a slip-up in the last two matches.
“We always talk about the last two Tests in a series being where things are won and lost,” England skipper Andrew Strauss said on Friday.
“The first few games set it up and the last couple bring it home. That is the challenge for us.”
England looked poised for their first series triumph Down Under since 1986-87 after an innings victory in the second Adelaide Test, before Ricky Ponting’s team hit back spectacularly in the third Test at the WACA.
Teams:
Australia: SR Watson, PJ Hughes, RT Ponting (capt), MJ Clarke, MEK Hussey, BJ Haddin (wk), SPD Smith, MG Johnson, RJ Harris, PM Siddle, BW Hilfenhaus
England: AJ Strauss (capt), AN Cook, IJL Trott, KP Pietersen, PD Collingwood, IR Bell, MJ Prior (wk), TT Bresnan, GP Swann, JM Anderson, CT Tremlett
Day 1 report
AUSTRALIA’S Ashes campaign is terminally ill after a humiliating opening day to the fourth Test at the MCG.
Before a bumper Boxing Day crowd of 84,345 the Australians were sent in and skittled for 98 – the only time they have been dismissed for under under three figures in the first innings of an Ashes Test – and were then made to look innocuous with the ball as England romped to 0-157 in reply by stumps.
It proved the perfect day for England captain Andrew Strauss.
He won the toss and his seamers destroyed the brittle Australian batting before he cruised to 64 not out in yet an
Have fun, I must fly….Over and Out!
@ superBul 23:
Yes man, sure the Aussies will fight back but hopefully England have taken enough of an advantage out of this first days play for it not to be a problem, the BIG difference between this one and Perth is that even though Aus were all out on day 1 they still ahd 250+ on the board on what turned out to be a tough wicket for England.
See its going really well in Durban! But if they are in the final session how come still so many overs left for the day, is it our pace attack thats taking too long to get through their overs?
@ Bullscot:
There was a long rain delay in the morning, they are of now too, game will start earlier tomorrow. Light too bad for play.
I see bad light has stopped play thats no good,quite often a problem at Kingsmead. Why do they schedule the day to run from 11 in the morning till 6.30 in evening when bad light so often is a factor, why could they not start at 10 or even 9.30 in the morning?
A difficult one for Smith, with a bit of a partnership developing I guess he would have wanted to keep his quicks one to try get a break through, but maybe they could have stayed on if the slow bowlers were on, or is it too dark anyway?
Ricky Ponting is besig om sy hele reputasie op te donner. The long knives are out to get him. Some experts say even a double ton wont save his bacon.
Current partnership 142 runs, 35.4 overs, RR: 3.98 (Trott 73, Prior 66)

Good morning Super, I see was another fine day for England in Melbourne!
Morkel to Harbhajan Singh, no run, 133.6 kph, 135 kph, edged and dropped, Harbhajan pushes forward at a fuller ball outside off stump and gets a thick outside edge that flies low to Kallis’ right at second slip. He dives, attempting to take it with one hand but can’t hold on
@ superBul 41:
Ouch thats no good would have been a nice start to the day if it stuck, hope it doesn’t cost too much.
@ Bullscot:
If Australia saves this test the are lucky. Hell the England boys are not only winning the days they are humiliating Australia.
If you read some Aussie papers you can see how much this hurts
SA takes a wicket, 5 for for Steyn
60.2
Steyn to Harbhajan Singh, OUT, 136.1 kph, caught, and it’s a terrific catch! Harbhajan prods from his crease at a full ball from Steyn and the thick edge flies low and fast towards third slip where AB de Villiers dives to his right to take it with two hands. The way this morning’s gone, it was only a matter of time before Steyn took his fifth.
Harbhajan Singh c de Villiers b Steyn 21 (39b 2×4 0x6) SR: 53.84
61.6
Morkel to Khan, OUT, 137.5 kph, and he doesn’t survive it! The length is far too full to be playing back to but Zaheer does. He tries to block it from his crease and nicks it to Boucher. That’s Morkel’s first wicket of the Test.
Z Khan c †Boucher b Morkel 0 (7m 5b 0x4 0x6) SR: 0.00
@ superBul:
I can imagine the Aussie public won’t be too happy, they were used to being on top for so long, but I guess even though it took so long the wheel eventually turns. Doesn’t even look as if the weather can save them, wonder what sort of lead England will want, maybe 500 if they can get it? But they may not be in a position to get that coz will probably lose a handful of wickets tomorrow morning, really hope Prior gets to a hundred, must be one of the better wicket keeper/batsmen around now, still a lot of work for Trott before 200.
Pity Smith went so early.
Eishhhhhhhhh SA 74 / 4 now… and lunch is taken

Stumps England leave day three on the brink of an Ashes-retaining victory. They earn a huge cheer from the England fans as they head off the field with Tim Bresnan rightly leading them off. It’s been a magnificent day for him and for his side. Once again, everything has gone right for the tourists. Jonathan Trott carried them to 513 with 164 not out before the bowlers carefully chipped their way through the bulk of Australia’s line-up to leave England on the verge of victory.
Hey what happened yesterday, one point saw we were 45/1 then next India were batting again? Looking back the rot seemed to get going round the time you handed over to gbs, so maybe keep him away today SuperBul things were looking good in the cricket while you were in charge 🙂
Actually read an article that showed this is the third season in a row that SA have been bowled out in the 130’s in a test innings at Kingsmead, hope can turn things around today.
58@ Bullscot:
Hey whatchit!! Hehehe
India score lead getting a bit high now, India 190 / 7
They lead by 264 already.
India were all out for 228, which put them 302 runs ahead before SA started their 2nd innings.
So far, so good, Proteas have 49 / 0, which means a deficit of 253 with all their wickets standing.
