Nelly Terraces Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Watcha lads! Not been on the thread so far this match, was thinking it might be all over before I did - oooops, there goes the useless ginger Mackem - England getting am absolute ***** doing here, the same old failures letting them down again, KP a giant knob of a human being, and Collingwood should've been dropped years ago. Well donde the Aussies - if they win this series then England will never win over there again, this is their best chance in years, blow it and they're dicked.

Geoff Kilpatrick Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I wonder if England will consider axing Collingwood for Bresnan at the G? The pitch has been dropped in and wickets can tumble on it. Finn seems to be struggling and Broad has already pulled up lame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Palmer Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Boycott is ripping England apart! If you were Shankly, Brian Clough, Sir Alex Ferguson..

Unfortunately, I can't remember what he said. Was a decisive victory and sure Sir Geoff will not have held back in his criticism as despite England's domnance early n in the tour right now it's level with Australian confidence sky high. England don't lke to chop and change but Collngwood could be a possibility to be dropped for Morgan and perhaps Bresanfor Fin to give hi a rest as mc as anything Blown Away!

RobboM Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I think they'll bring in Bresnan for Finn, the bowling needs to be freshened up through a series. I reckon they should be dropping Collingwood but that will not happen as Morgan has batted even less than Colly on tour Mon Boxing Day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JWL Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 Botham and Atherton both seem confident that England will bounce back in Melbourne, Nasser not so. Really depends if they can get the pitch Perth-like which would obviously be to The Aussies advantage..........let's hope so. 90,000 people there will be awesome, will be staying up to watch this one.

There's no danger of a Perth like pitch. The 'square' is dropped in after the AFL season finishes and the weather has been unusually wet. Indeed the forecast is for cloud and mid 20's so we are reviewing whether to have Christmas dinner alfresco or not! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends on what target the team batting the last second innings has to chase. MCG has in the past been difficult for teams chasing 250+ to win.

MCG has in the past been difficult for teams chasing 250+ to win. Yep. As Geoff has already stated it doesn't look like we are getting a WACA type surface but Australia will want it to be prepared as close as possible to this. It will more than likely be win the toss and bat, and bat long. Make England chase 350plus and it goes to the wire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
