Finch should have reviewed that decision.
Fox Sports are saying he did not hit the ball at all.

Can't dine out on a good dig in the UAE forever Usman. That was dog crap batting, utter dog crap.

It's a very ordinary top order, as brittle as it gets
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Macca37 - 12-09-2018
I have to stretch my mind back to the 1950s to come up with an Australian test side so mentally fragile and technique deficient when batting.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 12-09-2018
The Yallop era had some horribly fragile sides.

yeah, even the worst batting lineups we had in the mid 80s had at least 1 elite batsman still (Border)...and a few guys who were the future of building the Australian batting lineup...Boon, Jones, Waugh.
This side has not one elite batsman....much akin to the side in 78/79......all be it that was a 2nd 11 side anyway.
The 50s lineups always had Neil Harvey as well.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 12-10-2018
Agreed Malo, not one top notch player to rally around, just a fractured group who are solid at best, erratic at worst and they lack experience and belief. I can't believe people regard, for example, Khawaja as a lock, gees he's erratic and inconsistent.
But there are kids pushing through: Renshaw, Pucovski, Sangha, Pope, Carey... There's talent coming. Patience grasshopper.
What sh!ts me no end is that yes, it's a solid Indian side, playing on pitches suited to them, getting the run of the green. But some belief and one lousy partnership and we would have gone close to winning this, with an unimaginably weak side.

Marsh will lock himself in for the rest of the summer now.......but in getting out for 60 it just proves the point that he's not a top notch Test batsman.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - LP - 12-10-2018
This Adelaide pitch has a recent history of being a runs bonanza on day 4 of Shield cricket, our test team is making it look like a minefield.
In the first innings our bowlers let India off the hook late, that is a fail, and now we are chasing more than we should have been and making it look like twice as much!
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - northernblue - 12-10-2018
And in spite of everything, we are currently 7/226 ????
We could’ve capitulated and been all out before lunch, at least they are trying...
Small wins, probably a bit like our footy club.
