AUSTRALIA'S TOTAL OF 98
Lowest against England at the MCG
Lowest first innings at the MCG
Lowest against England since 1968
Lowest score in Australia since 1984
Lowest at the MCG since 1981
Lowest against England at home since 1936

If England bat to form, who knows what sort of first innings lead they could have. :tea:

I think Boycott's knocking one out now..
Thinking of Headingley, 1981? I just could not believe my ears, listening (no TV reception where I lived at the time) to the way Botham and then Willis basically destroyed Australia after England was forced to follow on. Boycott had just taken over as captain because Botham was no good at it.

I might watch in my brother's house, as he has Sky Sports. He'll be away for the night, but I'll have a key. It happens to be less than 20 yards from where I'm currently sitting.

I don't know how long I might be able to stay awake though. I lasted until just after 1this morning (listening to TMS), but in most other circumstances, I'd have given up at least 30 minutes before that. :yawn:

Exactly. Cricket without guns is like salad without the chocolate, I say. :tup:
