The Third Test in the Ashes Series - WACA (14 December)

[laj]

Cummins is injury prone and Starc has had his moments, you need five bowlers IMO and maybe I am old fashioned but I like an allrounder in the team.
M.Marsh would give us a bit if a tail as he unproven at test level but given Cummins is playing well with the bat and the English bowling is mediocre so
we may get away with it.

Problem with Marsh is that he isnt good enough with either bat or ball to hold his place and is more of a bits and pieces cricketer...the classic allrounders were usually good enough in at least one skillset to hold their place....ie Flintoff was no great bat but was a good enough bowler to be picked on his bowling alone.
This is why M.Marsh wont work IMO and would be a short term fix.....we have been desperate for years to find a quality allrounder but unlike other countries we cant find them...

On the bright side at least he is batting well for WA. Gambled successfully on one Marsh, hopefully it follows.
