Career despite the fact that he had some stress fractures but didn't seem to worry him and he is bowling changed the course of that match and particularly in that innings when England made only 95 result in unbelievable atmosphere on the 2nd day and remember this game was played in March so I was pretty light in and that's probably why the pitch was a was a bit under done to start with and then it flattened out and so on and the other memory of the game was of course the the arrival of David Hawks Yeah he wife ordinary returning great 5 forwards in the yeah i Ball I was a postman in those days and they're all parts of the ground and that really brought the crowd to live but the occasion of the match there are over $200.00 form of Test cricket is he there was a Medicaid from the board to bring the English players in. And wined and dined and meeting them after the day's play if you could get near the middle some or other in the ground was a wonderful opportunity to be involved in some history and in those occasions are special because you know any only going to get them want to you know. It was wonderful to be part of it all it really was a special the game itself was it played like a full blooded actually played like a bit of a party celebration I mean look at the score you think Wellington nearly chased 400 in the 4th innings of the game it was a hard headed Test match England the disc coming out of it. John leave the featuring very well India India and. Tony Greig involved with the side and and I remember a stranger had a very tough series against Pakistan just before that and I remember that because that was the 1st Test match I ever worked on was the one in Sydney that they won by . Wickets thanks to a fella called Imran Khan who was doing things with the ball I think we call it reverse swing we don't know what it was in those days but he was serving moving it so it was a very very competitive match it was it was the real thing the real thing I think the Test matches they played here which went for the ashes after the resolver World Series Cricket was it the last like innocent Test match you know in a way because you mention in your interview that World Series Cricket came in off and the game changed enormously off that was it the last test match the last great Test match of the old error if you like you could say that yes in hindsight and exactly that would have been it because it was a bit of a damp squib I think that night in 77 tour of England from astride his viewpoint certainly I didn't say Not bad from our point of view Geoffrey Boycott probably So the same thing with the 10100 at Headingley Yes the trial it was certainly distracted by the time the going with the Test matches but all this business with World Series and who'd signed and how much and taking the game to ransom and a court case that subsequently followed because he whispers a bit during the Centenary Test to 64 for here at lunch $13.00 for Best Day 16 with only whispers during the game well if there were they weren't public. If anyone knew they kept it very quiet and I have a feeling that the players did extraordinary world to keep their counsel on and not reveal it to anybody and that's what I've heard over the years and I don't think anything slipped out and about my By which time Mr Ellis was in England so. That is a very good job to keep it secret and I'm sure Kerry Packer would have demanded that. Randall mention your interview to every Because you think Dennis Lillee should. The match took 11 Wiki's in the game in that 1st innings bowling were talking at 13.30 It was 8 ball overs 2 maidens 626530 odd in the 2nd innings but there it Randall if he was unique during Randle and there was a into the Rod Marsh Rod Marsh called him he called him back Denise and it didn't carry and you also did the cap to his cap to use it to marshall it to Lily when he told him about it was to Lily I think clearly actually hitting. On the head but you know a bit like bridges he just shrugged it off and put the cap on and eased aware that the cap in the way the lot of English players did in those days with the peak appearing to point to the heavens for divine inspiration. But he was a more wonderful player and we we saw of that that again when he was here in this series that followed in 79 and of my really and he made a couple of hundreds so yeah that was of superb innings in the circumstances of chasing such a big score which they almost got. And. Even in the last half hour there was this uncertainty with England get close to the school with a hold on for draw. A map and a mass to be in about half past 5 when really not l.b.w. . 5 Extraordinary days to be here in Melbourne to celebrate that and I think yes your scripts been accurate one that was the last match of the all because the next time as a writer in England played in what I would call it was a fading series between the 2 strongest sides was probably not in 91 what happened then what happened then I can't remember Ok remember about 970. The $501.00 on the final day was everything in England we were going to win with were within it you had a chance of winning as they were chasing over $400.00 a victory it would cost you talked there about oh you know I needed to patent number 10 because we needed the runs but actually Australia at that point were close to 400 ahead when he came in he was he was batting with trying to get through to $100.00 but they already had nearly $400.00 runs in the bank which of those days that was a huge total to chase what's delays but even bigger in those days you could ask him because he's a couple of doors away but Kerry a cave took a couple of crucial wickets on that last afternoon Kerry cosey taking a catch bet had to couple a very important week it's. Got to be Greg Yeah Corcos you bowl a key for 41 and you also had John Lever not such a good batsman l.b.w. For 4 and anyone else yet when you go round you go around like 170 and better yet bowling is slippery overspends. And getting a little bit of useful so. He played his part and then you know it was always Lily of course one of the ball in the singing's $34.00. That out into the modern day those rate 34.4 overs to 5139 and really making Australia work for they were all out for 417 at one stage they were 346 for 4 and I remember listening to this could be the this is going to be the greatest victory of all time it wasn't quite in 6. 45 yeah. So it's showed what Lily could do in your ability one more question Jim before you go on their way it's 264 for 4. And it was this if I could remember it I was just distracted by the umpires coming back onto the ground in the Australian team coming back on to the grind as well. I mean it's gone but thanks very much Jim for sharing your memories of 9771 of the the Grell is what it was strange that the margin of victory 45 runs 45 runs 100 years ago and 45 runs 100 years later I know people were saying hold on 2nd is a bit strange isn't it yeah you can't take anything at face value anymore but. Look forward to being here in 2177 for the bison when who knows what the result will be 45 runs again anyway thanks very much to Jim Maxwell an incredible test match it really was part of the old generation of Test matches before World Series Cricket before day night one day cricket before India won the World Cup and that changed cricket again and we had even more danger cricket and t 20 of course after India won the t 20 World Cup that exploded in India's victory in South Africa 9771 of the great Test matches where it got a good game on here as well with England 264 for Cook 134 best 16 not in the last 2 wickets the smaller one of them was maligned which is bizarre circumstances where it was going to be doubly stroll down the pitch have a chat with honest to cook books and I think you were right back to the pavilion and then we saw later on that seem to be a thick inside edge which may land well you might have detected thought it was pad 1st and of course the ice is pretty brutal Pat. Picks it up so that's possibly what he thought but it did look like that it looked like inside edge on to the pad. And to go with that one yesterday from France where he seemed to feather it onto his pad to get to the been given at the looks or they could well have been overturned the other man at the Smalling Joe Root absolutely furious with himself short ball from Cummins at its back to deep square leg and it was caught by line in his position that there for that stroke and Julie applies. But no sentry yet in this series he's out 461414 schools 218232464 Forza 264-4460 3 runs behind and here is Jackson Bird to bowl the 1st over after lunch he goes round the wicket to bowl to Cookie's right in behind that I'm playing not defensively back up the offside of the pitch and there is no run cried in today's a very good one around 50000 we get the exact figure for you and the attendance in this Test match as being a tremendous when you consider when you consider that it is a dead rubber the other 10 say 553542 go with 150001 the 1st 2 days are over 200000 people already attend this m.c.g. Test match not all the back in their seats out to lunch but here is bird bowling and cook place defensively very carefully into the on side up towards mid-on Brits picked up by David Warner and there's no cook has just continued on this morning Australia have bowled well they really have. They said they haven't got away in a bit of a grind for England this morning as it was. On the 1st day for Australia after lunch and in the evening session of course even more so. In the 1st session of the the 2nd day when they lost 7 wickets for 83 bird at the Members end of the grab. Into ball to cook cook screwed up by that one keeps a bit low as well could push their way on. Offside and it's picked up by short spurts of his 20th over to take a full 62 so far the replacement for Stark not quite the threat that we saw from start on they were near the threat we saw stock in the 1st 3 matches of the series stop the wicket taker with 19 days Woods closing in as well as picked up 2 wickets in this game to he's up to 7264 for 4. And this is Jackson Bird in to bowl to cook dry just time it said that a lot during this test match batsman looking to hit the ball cleanly not finding the middle the bat goes away towards short short extra cover once more there's no run it's a warm day in Melbourne. It's it's not the the searing heat of the 1st 2 days mainly because the sun is behind clouds it's barely a breeze and see the flags fluttering on the scoreboard away to our right hand side that huge school with all the details up there all the replays as well. Jackson Bird from the members and past the Empire now in to bowl to cook shows in the full face of the bat pushing it as he has done so often in this innings playing in the v. Up towards mid-off and there's no way around Geoffrey Boycott is here. I think the main guy I know we talk about the tail end issue play better against this you know all this year which ball all ball should play the short ball better here because it serves slow Preet doesn't get much but I think cops got to see a one and it played splendidly this morning not score quickly but if you just stays there too. Then England will start to get a bit of a lead and if you get south there's a danger of it getting it out because they haven't done anything this series and they are the Taylor struggled to cook dries a nice shot this. After Mark up to lunch with a drive down the ground up toward the lawn on by Interest gone away for for. Water so quick in the field but no chance that was 3 or 4 yards to his right hand side. Clinical shot from coke to get things under way after the interval 2682 for England are 59 runs behind. I'd love a leader for. 50 minimum Jeffrey to say Well I think it's it is important if they have to but forth because Forth is always more pressure to chase in and told little to try and when we've seen them before so many times and I. Know I don't think anybody's going to school quickly only it will be a rare innings if they do so it's going to test your patience to this pressure on you concentration Mildred Johnny by stories of quick score is playing well but surprise if you cannot get about quickly in school quickly best awaits his 1st ball after lunch bowled by Hazelwood Hayes out on the pads their best to clipping it away I tossed it back a square like best as quickly hustling back the 2nd is coming now and the throws a bit why. Not eyes them to go through for the 2nd comes with right over the bails and best they might have been threat but he is quick to pull yourself out of watching the thrower countering Yeah he's very quick. To 74 percent to 18. And a fearless these to cook and best cooks also a little more into you know cook solidity and best as aggression is ability to score quickly. First things 1st get up to 327. Goals to stay best as forward during that into the offside picked up by a short extra cover there's no run and Joe Root shot Geoffrey that we've heard your views on that. It was just an aberration it's just was he saw his reaction kick the imaginary flawed in his ear half way off and then when he got near the boundary through his gloves in disgust at yourself and indeed control them welcomed him over the boundary. I mean we've all done it but he was just came from nowhere use plain solidly sensibly and Tom is just symptom into it. Hazelwood calls to best to slips the best outcomes for push that away on the off side up towards a white middle and best I've been inclined to go through for singles but it's Warner they know how good he is he was quick to his left hand side I think they could have got a single but not absolutely guarantee the great thing about the short ball from coalmines as we talk about ego how you don't eat so it was a big shoulder high and it was outside the offside it was almost outside his body and you have to fake cheat on you get the high you have to get over the top was like attorneys. It's an instinct to me while oversleep instinctive looking to pull his work was passed to his forward playing it back up the pitch and Hazel picks up his follow through and there's no run at that pace it's instinct you see the line the end and you go for it maybe thought you pull it but then it gets bigger on him and the affectionate high. Very difficult to control will with all believe me let me tell us why you understand it so well not to do it I did but he got sucked in by the really clever delivery because the text of Pacing isn't doing anything it will just get more extra pace and you haven't time to change your mind best awakes bat raced and yes a short ball and he ducks on that he said it was down the leg side while those he probably helped on your way make contact with that Robin hit a deep square leg is known at the. Time 74 I think what was. Another in explicable thing was maligning you know not knowing the Haiti was split you will for a box 2 of insanity well the Vince when you could just about understand because it was either Unique who has a huge Nick how do you know unique to you unless you hit your boat your pardon the flaw does he do did he you know he did you know he didn't say there's no excuse for it oh I didn't know. Hazelwood rolling in to bowl to Pastor covers up the fence and dropping the ball into the pitch rolls 2 yards away then stops that's the end of the over $274.00 and Cook is 138. Give you a no though on. Television to replay the line. They imply it as given him out so he assumes he's not Hitty know what we've seen one thinks he's not it either and he can't seem outside the line above still to accept the line as well as outside the line so the Empire's got it wrong on 2 counts not not but really wrong because the fine nicks and just outside but if I listed could have said to him d.r.s. Review knocked out a team outside the line I must say what I saw at the 1st. Go for the review that might just be that was my feeling but I didn't realize I was an inside edge as well at the time and I did subsequently seen the d.r.s. I did confirm that. Specifically the line in the luncheon break here is bird ball in full and comes forward plays that up tools they don't want a territory that's called a big space war like the compass so much crying quickly no run so you're out twice once I'm selfish or the no no one wants to cocky could have helped him with a deal rest he just told him it's out it looks out from here where I am your I mean it looked to be mistaken but these are fine things you need to be down there with a 140 meters. Up in the sky. Think. Back to the dismissal. Going into Poland to see clips away down towards fine like the ones of big Bandra down there but they've got good days and that's a good Hazlewood are close to the stumps so no real chance of 2 that 271 before to feel the strikers and. Almost in line with the eyesight. You don't get at the perfect angle do you know but you do get experience knowledge of plane I mean that's why I'm here sat next you it up don't test matches and I get a feel and idea because of being in those situations so when he's at the on strike is then I know he's not perfectly behind distances where the old pieties but you've got a pretty good idea of things or you should out at that level yeah he was beaten it was a nice dinner young kid remember played on didn't play but he sent off to know his name he sent 2 off without say no reviewer. Yet seen any nic and heard any name and he got the line wrong on one of the. Best day weights comes for driving hits it firmly sprawling safe by coming away to his left don't give peace a feeling actually. 39 no doubt if he drove his mates go I don't think I was in on strikeouts of them up asking Ellis' advice. Out Graeme Swann to make a good. Would make a good on by. Good Bussmann that sort of say you're going to do well the seal on it like he's doing he's played very well what about the right that's the way he plays too short extra covers in. The gully as well. Flies through the week play that well he sees the man who knows the man is there deep square leg where Joe Root was. That's also fine leg and as well he's would be something small to grass there the bottom tier the Great Southern Stand. You have to judge it well you don't get caught up do you in the neighbors or Josh Hazelwood at the side and see the ball are coming in the top edge down deal still sitting down there that they like to sign the autographs of the the youngsters who are here today. $271.00 for 4 and a cup against is not box at lunch time. Here is. Down Alexeyevitch flicked away by Bessie not far away from the keeper dived away to his left and. Head from bird not a 1000000 miles away from the diving pain but it's 4 more to the total best to go to 22 a fine leg Lance close was it was it was look we'll get out all of them strangle the balls that to be like blonds you cocktail within a few yards I'll find you going to sink you whether paying to go to Cross and calls he seemed a bit slow actually paid to get across good at some keepers might have got there got there let Paul to it but playing didn't to 75 or for best a 22. Here is going to bowl to the best of us on the pads again it strikes him on the part in fact and like by the old square leg to $76.00 for 4 in the box I said to the Do You Ok here today that the Test match what you prefer t 20 cricket seems a Lebanese Australian cricket a cricket bats a number 3 for his team he said I actually prefer one day internationals because you get it over in a day but you actually get to see more cricket wheels belt and think in terms of test or t 20 s. But necessarily so for the youngsters. And of the over 276 for 4. Is the school. Enough 51 row. That's the high end of this partnership is that it's a really significant one throwing that they are to get a decent the case with 30 so far for the 5th wicket moving to come Woakes current you can bat. Broad And Anderson you know we keep saying about Taylor and this combined with a full blown away the series ball put it that way you know if they're ever going to back they could have but on this a big you know you get $1520.00 because the short ball comes off sold slow is only the old ones if so shouldn't be fearsome at all. Will be interesting to see Australia's quick bowlers bowling banks getting the title this pitch will they be able to deal with at Hazelwood internee way over slice from best to misses and goes through to the keeper as well it would have felt for the best the exact left the shot into being has been shouldering arms and in a play like Johnny Johnny is different got so much town talent and one speed. I never tell Johnny to play you find civil really thing is he's not sure why I like what he came to me in Perth I said listen it's a bit bouncy here just careful of the whole show I just really think seriously about the woman hope to know but I'd never tell him why I like anybody else and he's with balls to best a pass to play the nicely into the on side and stopped at midwicket though. And there's no run I don't tell anybody to play I try and assess 18 dividual if they asked me a question. I might give them something good and if it was something I sold them might say you prove one and say that but I would never tell them to play like somebody else play like me do this you could have your own style because in the end what really matters is a soul Michel stuck earlier Asif a bus would have to get round bowlers have to get people out to my bowling maiden's you could actually get people out was more like it and we can. Passed away. The way told midwicket and there's no run again you know how you do it like cookie steady Yeah SEALs one end or you play shots does money your job is to make room to think out Willis you make room count when Alicia bowlers get we can argue our bowlers I'm got 20 wickets in a much of the. Not yet might do here correct and thus That's the difference in our Bussmann might start to get a 100 or 2. That's the difference it's simple you go to keep it simple as you get folk don't with so much technically still. It would pose to pass to force that away with a great deal of power actually square the wicket to Bancroft point there is no run of the $300.00 scored the Sears would you say was the the purest innings if you like the the best innings of the good you say get runs but in terms of pleasing on the eye technically correct fresh is the hundreds who's got 100 best cook. Well. I have to give a bit more points to cook for my health when the much and when the much ease it all really important as we're close to passing place quietly into the site towards midwicket there is no run picked up by March again having a private game the straight the moment you know people with figures and records and of ridges and all that stuff they don't do all that but for me I look at is about some and does your innings have a big impact on helping the team win the much that counts a lot of points bit less but still important does it help save the game she save a game in a test much like Anderson and did it Cardiff against in there are. Committed to seeing winning the series going to just by saved. In a game for 13 hours I suppose a buy and serve best ducks on the day said he's going to clear plan against the short ball here not just a person thanks to Jeffrey's advice but also here at the m.c.g. As well I don't think it's a shot some people do but building says it was the man I live waiting for the the catch best or not obliging as root did before much to 76 before then to cook 139 best of his 22 in a 51 runs behind 20 minutes after lunch on the 3rd day Geoffrey and then you'll be joined by Allison I'm hoping Johnny gets in some way this just in Sydney because I think if he gets in again somewhere I think in the spring the ball is going to hit him out of the park when he gets in plays against offspring and. He's going to launch it. Could be a different angle in the brain on the buck fulfill issues everybody knows Bowlen impacted but if they get to a situation where they're on the front foot to a bit uneasy you Lions a good ball and the ball very well but still very much because John is going to be mild at begin to see Jeffrey wouldn't move. We had lots of 20 minutes before that didn't mean Johnny now had 20 minutes post lunch but here is cook I'll strike on a 139 line around the would get him again coming forward stretching outside the off stump and down the pitch. Deflects away towards David Warner short. Slip and short leg in place for one thing on has bought outstandingly well throughout the year of 2017. Skips up to their wicket now rounding back that time gets it away in the gap while in front of square and cover that's one project chasing it towards the boundary comes back for the 2nd sliding stop from Khwaja kick turns and makes it 3 comfortably as well throw comes back on the relay across this vast green checkerboard like out failed with the way it's been 1279 for 4 and cook up to one. 142 now. That it starts of bloody is the key because all those other forces until this superb an end it's all there you know he's doing hundreds before his botted long periods of time he knows how to do it is doing it before all the experience all that knowledge is that he's inside of it it will come out once he starts to play well which is playing well and I believe it's best days back to the fans and the on side line diving Frost is right can't get it picked up by March and Iran is very different Ali to a new kid on the block goes Never. You know never may be going to have a back to the old day you not sure if you can disguise do me a number of times he knows how to do. These 10 hundreds it's 150 days into double hundreds and ends a best day for defensive. Play talking about down the pitch so as mine picks up. Baby 11 time in his crib tossing 150 k. You're always pleased when your kids on the block who do well but the guy who's doing it to you more new name. Line a little wave of the right Tom as he gets into his delivery stride balls at about 7 past a tech around the corner doesn't take a single day because he finds David Warner moving forward picking up my run I think his legs are a bit tired as well if you're looking for the same good to enough days no nearly. As fitness guys say he is 2nd to none on their England fitness that they do is track down all the expense I was a pedophile and it's got Johnny past and over Spain to get up so this man and he hurries on with maybe maybe a little to it but if he hurries on like a tennis ball but I don't see it doesn't need a lot to spin a slight when fastball is ball they don't need a lot of luck to movement if the pace pitches given them pay some balance if it's getting bounce and the little ice will move the don't need loss a lateral need doesn't because he gets bounce and power off when it doesn't sorry of going back not going to be disrespectful and nasty Dolly but he does own difficulty it is more in this guy over spin and he hurried on a note where the key protects it when you see he's taken it jumping up to keep it isn't it that tells you that it's rising like a top spinner as you call it table tennis it's beautifully Bowl it's a good bowler a 4 Johnnie's trying to force women. At this stage you don't need to force you just need to bat with kookie at that it bought back to his body nice unfortunately when he had a positive play to score you know it's in the d.n.a. Of British. Yeah and Johnny was looking to. Try and fool things a touch hard pull is only 10 overs Oden 9th and line doesn't joy that hard a new a ball finds that bit of extra bounce so best on for 22 by paying to 79 for 5 so I still 48 behind his ball Monali out of the Middle East at the non-strikers end that we know he has not been in form with battle ball and has been in line has dismissed him every time by one in the series new over the Hazelwood into Cook around the wicket Cook has turned in Pasquale. Along the ground to take a single to bring my way in on strike it's partnerships and still need they've had to pick one between coke 3 that was worth 138 for the 3rd wickets when Ruth went bowling Commons poll show it just gave as we could have here was I was with television those locations. Some of them were talking about England lead in this in the us it will war I'm going to move it we haven't got to Prodigy I don't want to be negative if Ali says one and bought in solid but a lovely day and as you chance but a middle order and Taylor and always doing cleverly over. There got blown away a lot of noise don't one of those pitches blow you away but they just get out they don't have a lot of confidence so his moans 1st pull his Would bowling short leg in place and he's getting behind that one defending into the on side under bring up knowing schools and just remind us of how he so he can just curious from I want to remember he's good moments he's got plenty of them for England and he's one of those players I think he. I don't think he thinks too much about it which is maybe a good thing but if assume players he has freedom he plays strokes and I think he surprises with some lovely elegant score has at times so I never quite know I was going to bloody. Slip Galli short leg and chilled extra cover as well what in short what oh I didn't control that riders on him it is race down to the boundary for 400 the sightscreen down the leg side. Forward buys it so having. Something in the shape to hold didn't happen and then he pulled out I don't see what did he hit him in some way yeah I think it's something he will simply I'm told it is a bit murky Yes and not credited to the batsman to 845. Oh off the helmet it was shaping Ok it was a quick show ball. Did well to get it open to pain leapt after it ricocheted just gave out bit of extra height putting out of him pains reach as he dived to the like side there is fine length of back the back could square as well in the deep for the short one I don't think should help you know we all knew which ball to remember that when he runs Hazelwood and shorts again and he's gone for the pulley has got hold of it this time what I'm friends of square racing towards the boundary made on is after it knowing comes back for the 2nd coming is picks up knowing makes it 3. X. More a point short in the 12 straight just mean to accuse about right only. When you know you know why did I maybe go into a situation where you came in or when you step out hope you would be on squared off think that that's a dodgy especially just comin with it with the ball. As well I'm well in front of square that he got hold of that one. To 87 of the 540 behind England still cook on 143 Hazelwood in a rising delivery outside the off stump because forcing 2 eye towards mid off straight to the field today I run. As catches in front of the wicket for Alastair Cook with more turns No Ali doesn't it it's amazing how it just changes and this Test match cricket chair you just. Been looking at no means because no don't come a switch off. Period he's on closer is Geoffrey 116 runs of 19.33 in the series studio to 40 a Brisbane just 25 and 2 in Adelaide north to live in the Perth after the Brisbane . Hazelwood insecurity liking to drive taking a single post filled extra cover takes $1244.00 to make it $145.00 coming back and joking that Jenson 2nd 3 comes back into pains gloves. And the other friend Hazelwood. To 89 for 5 and 38 behind. 45 has amassed pressure in just a few moments time here at the m.c.g.

Thank you very much an extraordinary moment in Melbourne with Mo in our way trying to hit Nathan Lyon halfway to setting their 289 a 5 very very fortunate to get away with that he's he's not the failure in the day as it got for 6 looks like it might have just cleared the line going to 6 but an age less of much out. Would have gone well. Stuff but Test match question Geoff Boycott I listen. To now a lion around the we're going to get in Samoa and striking him in the end I mean anybody out there you have to have the facts together before. You can be a just tracksuit giving short extra cover a. Little bit of excitement and along the ground if you're late in bed while you were listening because it is being good oh no he's obviously decided that he's fed up of blocking him properly in Cup when getting out to him in that he's going to play shots. Every Tuesday don't know if it is there. Anything good up deficits any 28 all of a sudden to 99 for 5. To 6 and a full from knowing slip and short leg in Lyon around the wicket all facts of that time is what I've heard carefully circumspect not to get into the on side adult ball. We've had everything haven't we in the last of 10 minutes if the m.c.g. We've had a wicket sort of had lots of time in England early twenty's or 3 in the morning don't always go put don't go to sleep Greg. Here is a lion. Comes in now around the wickets it's just a 2 stride that guy doesn't offer shots and the gloves of pain I was shocked to play like he plays it just you don't think he just thinks well then we think is doing is that I'm not going to get out defensive anymore. Around the wicket line now in defense the time going back down the pitch on pick up so often line has been allowed to bowl out things about us without taking them on when things in the mews their feet a lot in particular thinking of using his feet Well tonight the line. That we did that with the 6 but. Should have been cool it's law and it is very game in the air get over the top of the infield. Get today Cummings. Jokes across his right hand side from deep need off to feel one eventful over that was 2 more for mowing a 6 by 4 and then I love to drive over the top and showed extra cover the 300 is up for English class the pools around the m.c.g. Knowing has 15 rounds in England 300 in one for 5 still 26 behind he's got excitement 150 in about 5 balls he's doing cookie an hour to get a. Contrasting styles think of it go casework get his socks of the year and think you are guilty yet if Jesus that we are now to graft in a work game for that different guy even know he made a bit of a decision Marines decided at season's feet trying to hit my enemy takis got me more often the noise in this series that it was a shot laced with risk. Down the ground and he got enough on it just to vacate Pike Cummins and the 6 say 3015. 126 behind them and is going to come in season to come on from the great 7 stand and a few more people. Taken seats inside the ground now hearing these chairs of excitement and wonder monitors happening there when from the bars out the back cook $145.00 around like it comes Cummins now flicked into the vacant midwicket region one in front of the square like umpire picked up in a date to take cook on to 146 Jeffries make way for Graeme Swann Good Afternoon see how I was good morning if I can think of a better person to bring in with murder I was given and decided that a low percentage aggressive strokeplay The closest is called for yet. They didn't join us yesterday because it was explained why because he had been so meek and stiff because he got weaker and weaker maker makers this is going on because he's not. The normal bow in early sort of chutzpah can't suspend he needs to be aggressive and to show some a bit much look risky but it's the only way to back. His mind again and face up to Kevin's this time sure when he decides to duck under that doesn't take on the cool kid scene in a previous save that got a deep square leg out that now a similar sort of position several meters in from the boundary where gyrate. Played a pool shot and was cool but he was on 61 a year on in the day and trust me the Aussies one moment only to stay make to not commit to attacking the ball to stay in his crease try and block I think that's exactly what they want because they know that he's lower form comes he will get out there in a 2nd best Marinelli's walked out look so no put but different mindset isn't it Cummins rushing in again now he has taken on the potion has kept it down lay there he's got full for it behind spat bisecting missed a field is deep square leg. And a long leg back on the boundary as well knowing his rocking of the runs is really a 19 pretty familiar in this wasn't kept at ease up in the air there's a lot of excited just trailing 21st hit think there's a chart. Just think this could be the innings where he just breaks the shackles and goes on much rather say this even if he gets out next ball this is much more positive from oh now it is working in the blocked without him doing this down the order that looked very very weak to when he does this. The potential of being incredibly good 19 off as 11 come into another short ball he fades this one decides not to play didn't have to duck the same degree to avoid it that bounce 3 we could carry from playing at the ball from Pac Cummins it just suddenly gets a great contest again isn't it yes well done my main point of you know abject misery throughout this hour she's hasn't been the funding of last in the coach's point and it's been mowed the way you know with his bow in because he's down news conference he's not a natural bowler Phil form. His batting sir much better with the balcony showed. Cummins comes in now another short one that one is bottom called imagines of the ground which find it down towards fine like. 3 comes in America has taken a single 3 comes back into pain got this a cook back on strike my down the non-strikers and the crap out of myself just takes a video breather all of a sudden he's injected some genuine excitement and but it hasn't even Everest taking note but it's very brave what he's doing and it's sometimes said to play shots big rested people think that headless is stupid but it can be very brave at the same time you've got to take the aggressive out for it sometimes put the ball on the back foot. Cooke's on $146.00 Cummins around the wicket to the left hand and cookies that's the offside pulls no. Because line picks up. And it's the end of the i Phone come inside the deficit a sudden is only $27.00 flurry of quick runs from knowing Ollie has really helped England gotten above the $300.00 mark 375 and not after the fall of Johnny best days wicket on a touch of extra bounce in an edge towards just him playing behind the stumps best I have to say they've learned any credit for $26.00 shots or. Face does not bowling with the heart to pull mine doesn't just get a bit of extra bounce with it to 10 I was Johnny Burstow still being the Chinese had Miss Hands not sure how to give him soapbox away about 6 inches to try to make room to cup the ball. About Price said famously You never cut a spinner or a burning dog. Just don't do it you don't need to play cross but shot through a spin on this pitch play straight down the wicket. And if the pole short of the play across push up pull it doesn't cut it. Has been a lot of you say you talking rubbish where you go and buy start his wicked ways not mistrust take the attack back to the Australians. 20 could do it and have a bit more for his confidence for the team moving forward this is test much progress is. This to 20 behind that he's taking the place up that 1st innings. At school than when he just came out he's in it quickly as well say yes although he's out he has shifted some momentum because best days at work it just seemed to deflate. This the sense from the England supporters around the ground disappointment that he could one able to build that partnership that still trailing millions come out check to some excitement into proceedings Yes he's gone now but Chris whites can build something in Dallas to cook at about $150.00 it's still got deficit to make up. Still to be down. There short extra cover bringing the convention Clayton a British shot went quickly to him. Devon Monali walk off now and a bit of course a bit annoyed with the desperate disappointed got out police who know now that it was the boy shot but she's British execution. Was in the last 4. 5 times got out if simply the wrong shot to play every single time were really poor make shot. Without and hurt too much for pump with them playing the way did today. A very short lived innings but want to blunder streamed. Let's see what happens now that we've Chris wakes about to face up to life once a place Steve Smith is that short leg sending deep midwicket. Back place towards the crowd. But back a point extra cover short midwicket still for this time will line animal experts forward and place in a straight back down the pitch my picks up 4 wickets in hand that stove top current strip brought James out to sit still back in the dressing rooms. Line over the wicket stay away my still a full toss plenty of flight that went right down the pitch. On fields again Murray in 20014 balls to fours and a 66 Tom's laws got him out and he scored 80 runs of 13.33 as ever as against line in the series mine and so works out that it looks like our pitch. Is bowled well throughout the series and I. It's a perfect time of that I think you've noticed his lead. He's lost his length since the start technically was bowling very short bucks human has been drilled into full shows for how to block it very easily. And again goes back looks like it's more of a double love us assume it's your bowling and your you have to adopt a defensive mind from which you have to even they got the wicket didn't get the way through good bowling. Now he's forced ease lost his rhythm he's lost his law and lost his leg and do it again you guys might not be offside defended again but yet. Despite sometimes not. I mean there is a pool in the wood kids and interesting face of the game here again now anything to do 20 behind 376 k. Counter-attacking 20 of 14 from knowing is for away from the 150 grand I'm going to leave you in the company of Jim Maxwell. But both innings have taken a very similar sort of route. At the top scored a 100 and looked absolutely at ease on the pitch. Much as I was to cook us for England captain Steve Smith School 70 old England captain Joe Route 60. 1 and how you Hello Jim how are you many of them enjoying this break it's picked up tempo the ice a bit since Monali was there now works as out as is out there now is swinging a ball a while the top page down of the Bandra for 4 years will top agencies out 150 comes up yet another 154 others to. Test cricket and he's getting warm up holes on the wire around the m.c.g. People standing and holding. A specific Perth comeback innings from the former England captain who's turning 32nd to Century again to a significant innings 6 for 311115 when I was cook his mentor is great friend Graeme good choice took up picked out a 100 something which you get in. Not done and got to make well over 150. Bad Commons again around the wicket bowling that. Stands up to a ball that's a little short and he just gets over and plays it back down the pitch. How much support can he get from them. I haven't been conspicuous in recent evenings in hanging around but you think on this page. Someone in the last view is going to . Go along with them was it really might be stranded in Kerry's bed as in whatever care there but in the Boxing Day Test I wonder what she's got from the force soon with skin off to the commons in Cook goes back and turns it around the corner 2 men back it's a single 15164312 Andrew that one but. Cooks 15407 minutes 260 pools 1000 forces go to schools over 150 which is taken in tossed. Up and Peterson with 10 for thinking to get the most free will. So it is 7 there at the crease here. What's the longest innings he's played in terms of time each in The Fantasticks must be President of. Brisbane the 2nd innings. And shaking his head straight which doesn't have to look at the screen he knows that's not right. Just. To be. Yeah. He comes come and he's over the wicket to works works is getting up routes it goes well I really said the look at each other it's not a wide It looked pretty high as it says look through 836 minutes and 44 to 63. To 94 and. Took 772 minutes. And 2625 and this is just 400 at the moment. And don't know whether he'll get past that. Because it probably won't have enough might. Around the Commons to work says on the back foot defending. Pounding in with a few short deliveries now one the. Cooks helmet a little bit earlier when he was trying to. Apply it and it deflected from their full 4 league bias and they said again. There's someone down there with one of those crackers this it goes in the show ducks of with net can't that's why I'm flying he with that skate crowd this want this one see go look fine around me there for the only the only you know if there was another bounce a ball by gum and said Why it's just a softening up exercise works as if the school took a 151. Vigilant important innings for him 6 for 312 and there are only 15 runs shy so I mean I'm assigned. To this page is my 1st time this test my this is the greatest chunk of granite ever produced on an Australian cricket ground but apparently the pitch is set on a slab of concrete and there's so much to put this one in upside down. Well what they've got to do is what they do in Adelaide believe grass on they've got to leave . That these things are just being going to come stereotypical roads and they're going to produce some very bland cricket they've got to do is more than they're doing here I'm afraid and around the wicket he's coming in to. Talk they just shovels forward and sends it up the offside the one in an ally is just about the perfect surface for drop in because they do have quite a good cushion of grass on and that's what keeps the balance. Just about right. Line in in full. And place it down the page lines of persevered strongly here. I mean. When he took him on and quite a few in the crowd it would have that to continue but. Again playing out on the side but on this surface was a good 3 for 48 of 28 overs because 6068 sorry. 3 for 6 did still pretty good baseline again. As you go on the other side is excellent perseverance Andrew sorry. Kerry does better notice but stopping above to go 2 years ago against England we go we were there were many We were just what he wanted always sweaty and. Could drive as wide of short cover and made of what a brilliant diving side down there prevents more than one run Jackson. Launched himself across the board is. Now time to change fast bowlers now back everyone up in the field. For sure the days I'm of the dog down on this one. Certainly. And all 5 are created to there were a few Gordon rule wouldn't of in comes. Close to why but I would watch for a single He was scampering as he moved down the pitch to great that and went with the shot for 16 for 314 and that's where the game has changed so much when Gordon was playing and he's talked about he said I done under stand this morning dive all over the place that dive into batteries and ropes he said we would never have done that in a day because we had to pay for our own laundry. True very short play 55 here at the m.c.g. This is just my friend what it 3 o'clock in the morning with you back home if you're tuning in Expect to hear up all night. At this time on 5 Live.
