Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - DJC - 03-20-2017
37 overs to go and Marsh and Handscomb seem to have settled in.
I reckon we need at least another 100 runs to be safe.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - DJC - 03-20-2017
Handscomb has chosen the perfect occasion to make his first 50 of the tour.
It may be one of the most important innings of his short career.

'Thank God for S Marsh!' I can hear us all collectively saying!!

it might be the making of him?
Despite his seeming fragility on occasion, the bloke can really play.
Today he showed ticker too.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - Professer E - 03-20-2017
I am a Marsh detractor but he will play the fourth test. Good effort today.
A heck of a lot of ticker shown today, they should take great confidence from batting a full day on a day pitch 5 versus Ashwin and Jajeda. Many Australian teams have folded in similar situations, but this one didn't. Continues the theme of good application.
Smith's captaincy yesterday might be questionable but Kohli should cop some serious flack as well... the conservative batting once India drew level was pathetic given the bowlers were cooked and gives the impression that India were sh!t scared to chase 150 on the last day... Australia should have been batting soon after Lunch on day 4, not with 8 overs left in the day.
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - DJC - 03-20-2017
Kohli offered us the draw just before we were to declare.
I think it's easy to understate how good our performance was in this test. It's the first time a visiting team has managed a draw in India after trailing on the first innings since 2010.
However, I still don't understand why Smith refused to bowl Maxwell :-\

yeah, Kohli screwed up big time bating so long....
Re: Australian Cricket - Crisis, What Crisis ?? - laj - 03-20-2017
Looking forward to the Ashes this year. Play the 4 quicks, Starc, Hazelwood, Cummins and Pattinson with Maxwell as the spin option.
Michael Vaughan tweeted how scared he was of that line up a couple of days ago.
We'll have a very powerful line-up come November. Hobart last year now seems so long ago.

There's a lot to like about that bowling attack, even if Smith won't bowl Maxwell :
