When Stoinis gets his head fully back into the game he is going to be a very good player.
What did you think of his bowling LP?
DrE is no more... you ok with that harmonica man?

I think Marsh is probably a better bowler if he is actually bowling to his ability and not injured or limited in overs, but he has fallen well short at test level and had plenty of chances. He is basically being used as a chop-out only and even when he is fit he rarely bowls more than a dozen overs. We effectively already have Starc and Cummins as bowling all-rounders, so I think we need a batting all-rounder and to me Marsh fails at that dismally. I think batting and fielding Stoinis is ahead of Marsh, he values his wicket, Marsh is more like Maxwell all or nothing. Stoinis is OK as a bowler, perhaps even a bit quicker than Marsh now as Marsh has lost a bit, and I think Stoinis is better suited to holding down an end than Marsh. I'd have Maxwell and Stoinis as the rotating all-rounder well ahead of Marsh. A big question, given exposed potential, why the feck isn't CA turning over heaven and earth to get Maxwell sorted? It's like Carlton signing Dominator and then saying he's just too much hard work!

Finch and M Marsh out.
Unfortunately Lauberschagne and Handscomb back. Crazy that we won’t try some new blood

I spent most of my money on Women and grog.
The rest I just wasted.

The Ox is slow but I'm running out of patience.

The other young bloke to bat at 3 is equally nuts - Langer is just rolling dice....

FMD he is the coach, selector, and effectively captain. Clearly is all over the place with his thinking. Yesterday Finch was a very good player, today he’s out. Now this poor kid had to bat 3. Why not put S Marsh up to open? |
