Some of the current chumps:
Is Finch the dumbest bat in world cricket. Let's hit it to the bloke that was moved there one ball ago. Really? Really Aaron are you thick or something? Looks like he can get out any ball, simply not good enough. Over it.
Australia are in trouble, so let's fling the bat at a short one Harris. What's wrong with shelving the risky stuff? Indians largely ignored the short stuff, and they made plenty of runs. Gets out to short stuff a lot this bloke for an opener.
Shaun "find new ways to get out" Marsh. Can't get started, doesn't go on with it when on the rare occasions he does.
Marsh the younger: FMD Langer. Why, WHY WHY do we persist with this no hoper? Bats like his legs are in casts and his bowling has as much penetration as a blind, toothless, aged poodle.
Over it. Can't wait to hear Langers idiotic excuses at stump today.... "but Mitch has so much potential.... " Grow a pair Langer and ditch the chumps.
I'd play Maxwell in place of Mitch Marsh...sure Maxwell can be hit and miss but he wins games, is the best fielder in Australia and can break partnerships with his bowling.
Ok Maxwell is mates with Kohli and doesnt get on with some of his team mates...who cares, pick the best team and a coach who can bring them together...
Smith has to come back in for Shaun Marsh when available....
Finch is a short format batsman only, Harris has some potential but needs another opener to lead the way while he plays the anchor like Rogers did..
Langar needs replacing with Gillespie......Langar is another Lehmann , Gillespie is more about the technical aspects of the game and less about playing mates and politics.
