I do not understand why we continue to select Mitch Marsh. He is a flat track bully who cannot play the spinning or the swinging ball. His bowling is adequate, but I would not pick him for that alone.

We can complain about the ball (it is suspect) and we can complain about the pitch (not up to test standard, unlike the previous one), but if we shoot ourselves on the selection table, we have only ourselves to blame.

Good ol' Indian 8th day pitch on the first day.

Just get the 4-0 flogging done on their doctored up pitches so we can focus on the Ashes.

I'll take a 4-0 flogging if it means Shaun Marsh never plays for Australia ever again.

Why in ^$)%*&'s name do we continue to pick these Marsh blokes... Mitch Marsh ? Seriously, WTF?

Wade is skating on thin ice as well, needs runs even more that Mitch Marsh, and that's saying something.


Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Bear - 02-23-2017

Wade was a little stiff... but won't last long if he doesn't make runs.

How good is Tim Paine looking?

just needs to get his batting prowess back!


Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - LP - 02-24-2017

Over O'Keefe already, just doesn't deserve a spot yet!

We shouldn't take spinners to India if they can't bowl two balls the same.

X2...... Gives nuthin with the bat and bowling is innocuous.  Just not quite good enough.  Agar?

Yep Agar for me, a much better long term prospect.

Otherwise I think Holland as a pure bowling option shows far more control and would be suited to the conditions.

Holy shit!
