Shaun Marsh - a ton.

I'm scared, we agree! Haha!

All the experts are now saying we need an extra bowler for Perth to take 20 wickets, it's because they know we couldn't have enforced the follow on and Smith had to give them a break as part of a five test series. If we try to take 20 wickets in Perth with 3 pace bowlers and Lyon we'll be cooked for the last two tests.

IMHO, they are hypocrites, and they didn't mention the 2nd innings collapse once. Yet all of them struck it to Handscomb who's batting is probably better suited to Perth than any other wicket in the country.

I'd bring a pure bowler into replace Lyon, as the Perth pitch looks like it's dead for spinners, and let Cummins be the kickar5e All-Rounder. But the "experts" are calling for Mitch Marsh to replace Handscomb which I think is a big mistake.

I have no idea why Holland and Ahmed knocked over WA. I'm assuming spud batting is most likely the reason because in the end the Vics couldn't bowl them out a second time. In that shield match, 5 batsmen made 500 runs, batting isn't going to be a problem if the other pitches are like that one, but bowling a team out might be!
