Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 12-25-2018
If Mitch only bowls a handful of overs it will be damning on Langer IMO.
$@-*,! Me off no end when coaches and selectors play favourites.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - LP - 12-25-2018
To be of any serious value to our bowlers he has to rack up at least 30 overs through this test, or Mitch playing is a joke!
On another thing. While I agree with the banter between Paine and Kohli being OK, what I find not OK is the hypocrisy of the Indian test team and management. Because if Paine farts too loudly in their direction they will cry bloody murder! They like handing it out, but the cannot take it!

Maxwell clearly pisses off too many people it would appear..... has long derserved a crack as the Test all rounder.....far better bat than Mitch Marsh (who will now crack 150 just to spite me).
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 12-25-2018
I'd love Mitch to hit 150, but he has ostensibly been brought in to support the bowlers. If he doesn't the sh1tstorm deserves to be epic.
The Australian cricketing public aren't Muppet's and we're tired of being bullsh1tted to by CA and it's minions.
On another note, I've got kids going through selection dramas at state/CA level and the politics, nepotism and straight out bullsh1t is... Beyond description. Maxwell is clearly outside the purple circle, and I really feel for him. As his card is marked, he may as well make zillions being a hired 20/20 mercenary because he has no future here.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - crashlander - 12-25-2018
I'm not a fan of Mitch Marsh: he has promised so much and has delivered so little, as both a batsman and a bowler. I don't understand the idea of bringing him in, as he doesn't handle the moving ball at all.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Jack Burton - 12-25-2018
I'm predicting M Marsh will contribute nothing with the bat, and will bowl a few innocuous overs that release the pressure off the Indian batsmen and allow them to build partnerships. He's also a liability in the field, at least Handscomb sems to always take some very sharp catches at slip or in close. But they'll keep M Marsh for the Sydney test because they want to create some stability in the team....
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - flyboy77 - 12-25-2018
His bowling is the real worry imo.
http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/player/272450.html
He used to be well able to bowl in the low 140s = pretty sharp.
Hiw bowling has gone right off and not even swure he can bowl a decent lengthy spell (from a body holding up pov).....

Um, name a batsman in the current 11 who handles a moving ball Crash?
Can't think of one.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 12-25-2018
Three overs in, I wouldn't want to be bowling on this deck
Going to be very hard work.
