Looks like an unchanged line-up for Australia and a couple for England with Swann retired.

Trott long gone, Swann the quitter gone and Prior dumped like a fat chick with bad breath. Unless we seriously play at a much lower standard I just can't see us losing to this bunch of sooks.

Bairstow and Monty in for the Poms. Be scared Australia, be very scared :lol:

Australia wins the toss and elects to bowl

Aussies unchanged, Poms made two changes Bairstow and Panesar in for Prior and Swan

Must admit im a tad disappointed with Clarke's decision to bowl.
We are 3-0 up and the MCG is traditionally a road, would of loved us to knock up a big score today. Perhaps he still has memories of our capitulation in 2011

Siddle with breakthrough. Bowled way to full, lots of half volleys this morning.

1/96 looks like a big score coming up, pitch is a belter

No wonder Watto has so many back and hammy problems, have a look at how quick he stops when he gets Carberrys wicket, no follow through at all

A correct follow through would have interfered with his celebratory "look at me" pose after the wicket.

luck going Englands way, KP lucky not to be bowled, then one from Root drops short
