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
Hi Gbs. We have got a good chance of winning this game,off to a very good start at 50-0. Smith is the key to winning this game.
250 to go with all 10 wickets standing. Lets get involved boys.
61@ Winston:
Hello…
Definately a Test where we’ll see a result, either way…
250 to get is heavy, considering neither of the teams managed that in the 3 innings played
Sressanth is such an asshole. Somebody needs to give him a snot klap.
Agreed,but this situation is tailor made for Smith,he likes to deliver in the 4th innings when the pressure is on. The pitch looks pretty flat now if you ask me.
64@ Winston:
Yeah…. kick him on those spindly legs, en bliksem hom met sy eie arm deur die bek.
I like the fact that we have been so positive in our batting in this innings so far. But Harbajhan is going to be difficult to contend with.
I hope they attack Harbajhan,he is almost as big a prick as Sressanth.
64@ Winston:
I see Biff Smith and this Shreesanth already had words just now… wonder what Biff said to him… probably something like Hey Charra, don’t get too windgat, I’ll bliksem you all over the place.
What a long winded appeal.. Crisis. Was outside the line.
He probably did,Smith is a big guy so he better be careful. I must admit I never liked Smith in the beginning but he has proved to be the real deal after we won away from home in England and Aus.
68@ Winston:
Alviro Petersen obliges and whacks Harbajan Singh for 4 on his 1st ball
Thats what I’ve been so impressed with so far,we have been very positive. These guys must put on about another 100 or so and then we’ll have this game in the bag.
71@ Winston:
I’m still unsure about Biff…. his average is over 50 though….
Damn, there goes Biff, edges it and out… fok
Oh fark,Smith is out.. Bad shot.
Fork, now we must bat carefully…. come on Amla…. steady there Osama Bin Amla
I hear what you are saying but you cant fault a guy that averages 50 in test cricket over 90 tests when he has opened his entire career. I think he is not the best captain but a very good opening bat.
These guys must stay in and Kallis must come in next and grind them.
Our top 6 has been very strong lately. Lets hope it delivers here.
Well if you offered me 70-1 at tea I’d take it.
77@ Winston:
Biff has his flaws, they tend to entice him in certain weak spots of his… he often edges it to slips or cuts it onto his own stumps.
But I suppose everybody has flaws.
Technically, Kallis is the most complete batsman, I feel.
Tea Time….
Let me do a bit of work here…. I’m reloading all 3 my PC’s and also my Notebook, just the Server not being worked on.
I just don’t get sufficient time in the year to do that properly.
Also downloading a few critical Softs I’ve been wanting to do for a while…. so at the moment I’m chowing bandwidth like you cannot believe…
Chat just now
He is far from perfect but who is. Kallis is one of the greatest of all time,no doubt.
Okay cool,well at least you can get some admin done during the quiet period.
84@ Winston:
Catching up with Admin to follow, after the full PC re-loads….
Remember, I have basically 2 official work days before I vamoose on holiday on 6 January again, till 23 January.
Also want to rework R-T a bit in the next few days…. finally do that new look I’ve been threatening to do….
You are a workaholic 🙂 I’m off until 3 Jan. The thing I enjoy the most about the threads is that there are cricket and rugby threads,I see Keo does not cover cricket anymore.
Fark, there goes Alviro Petersen for 26.
SA 82 / 2
Damn, double damn
If we lose another 2 wickets before the close I reckon we will lose.
86@ Winston:
When you work for yourself, you’re your own toughest boss….
I suppose so,I guess its easier though because its for yourself,not some other clown.
