Hopefully Lyon can stick around and allow Haddin to post a good score and diminish the 91 deficit. Hope I'm not dreaming !!!
Well, Lyon and Haddin put up a good fight, 40 runs partnership on the 10th wicket, not a bad morning !!Quote:

I think mentally may be the Aussie team is still celebrating the return of the URN !!Quote:

Also, after losting Trout, Swann and the keeper Pryor, they have some younger new blood in which is always good for the morale. Stokes made their first century in this series and bloody Cook is looking very dangerous this morning. If they are still batting by tomorrow lunch time and have a lead of 350+, I don't think the Aussie can chase that down.
May be Clarkey made the wrong call to send England IN to bat first !!
So far in the last and current series, the team that won the toss and batted first had won 6 out of 6 times. So I hope we can break the cycle !!
C'mon Aussie !!
It's the Mitchell Johnson show on again !!
Got Cook out LBW then Bang, Bang, Bang three quick wickets !!
the Aussie are right back in this !!
Johnson, what a great cricketer !! great catch, great run out !
C'mon Aussie, let's go in for the KILL !
6 more to go !!
:shout::shout::shout::shout::shout::shout:
Nathan Lyon got a Fiver !!
The Aussie now only needs 201 runs to win with 10 wickets in hand.
We are back in front !!
Go Aussie :shout:

Surely we can't lose this one.
C'mon Aussie c'mon
We'll we got two days to bat so all we have to do is pick the ball to hit and play sensibly.
Let's do it only pressure is any we put on ourselves
I think both Rogers and Warner should play smartly and be patient but more importantly to play their natural games !
As the commentators said, if they go after the England bowlers, Cook is likely to back off and the batsmen will have the upper hands!
Go Aussie !
Wow, very lucky ! Cook just dropped Warner big edge !!
None for 52 !
And the first inning lead is gone !
And Cook drops another sitter for Warner !!
Lucks on our side too !
Warner out to a low percentage shot again
Rogers is going strong, his 9th boundary brought the Aussie 100!
Not long to go now !
99 to win !
9 wickets in hand
Posting on aus99
And watching on channel 9
Surely now !
England looks like a broken team !
88 runs to win after lunch
We should get that before tea!
And the Captain may not even get to bat !!
C'mon Aussie !
We should win let's hope Clarke doesn't have to batQuote:

Bring on Sydney !
Aussie Aussie Aussie !
Yes a great win! Well done!
Thoroughly enjoyed.
The fact they were in a strong position and bottled it with shit batting, dropped catches and cowardly captaincy made it all the sweeter.
Bring on 5-0 at the SCG. :-)
Nothing more pleasing than to see Captain Clarke making a ton or double ton at the SCG !!Quote:

& bat first when we win the toss . . . . . . . . .Quote:

It has attracted both positive and negative comments, all good as this is a forum !
Looking forward to your comments for the Fifth Test in Sydney
Will you be posting direct from the S.C.G. ? ; )
I think the first three days at SCG have been sold out ! Monday is a work day, so may be not this time , but if there would be an early result on the forth day and the SCG opens it's door after lunch time like Sunday at the G!Quote:

Got to plan ahead......haha
So there is a chance that instead of being at the SCG, you may be bowling a maiden over somewhere else ?
Yeap, somewhere where Innings has a special kind of meaning !!Quote:
