Just heard a Convict, who I think is Justin Langer, comment on TMS about the pitch today.... " I think the pitch looks good still and I'm sure our boys are looking forward to getting out there and getting runs on the board .."
2 points here,
1, we are still batting and you don't look like...
The Aussie batsmen are struggling for runs, take Haddin and Hussey out and there is not much else, The new boy Khawaga will be under a huge amount of pressure, is he going to be a straight replacement for Punter and bat 3 ? he could be in in the first over the way Hughes looks.
And If Johnson...
Although a poor team overall, they do have the bowlers to exploit helpful conditions. The Cons won't win this test by batting first but they could win it by bowling first.
Marvellous scenes !... topped off nicley by the announcer on 5Live just now who said " Join us at 11.30 tonight for the last day of the 4th test..." er being pedantic it's the 4th day of 5 but, it WILL be the last day ! :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Lets not rush here, things can turn around quickly and we are not out of the woods yet.We need to bat on and post a lead of 300+ ideally from this position but we could equally be all out for 250. the one thing we do have is TIME.. lets not rush and blow it
Boyc's may sometimes go over the top and ramble and on occasions be completely wrong but, he is OUR idiot and as such, I'd rather listen to him than Fat Boy Shane Warne. Yes, Warney, the one who confidently predicted an Aussie win :laugh::laugh:
