Shaun Marsh - a ton.

Its all well and good to attack Smith's captaincy and his decision re the follow on but that is all covering up for the fact that the useless bastards who call themselves batsmen had us bowling again 3 hours and 150 runs before we should have been.

Smith didn't lose this test - the top 7 did.

As for the verbal rubbish, Root is a hypocritical, deadest flog and the best way to deal with that is to ignore him and not engage in any banter.  As the saying goes, never get into an argument with an idiot...

I would have played Sayers in this test as I am finding the current triumvirate of quicks underwhelming.  They already look tired.  Hazelwood is lacking penetration and Starc needs to start taking top end wickets and serving up less trash.
