Who’s the deadwood being held onto here? Cartwright? Rogers? Not much really. Duckett, Webster, Curran all came in and good players. Milne, Warren new to the side. Maxwell and Stoinis are international players. Siddle was recently a striker, hardly his fault.

Surely….. SURELY at least one of Lyon/Marsh don’t play in Melbourne. Preferably both but they are actually fairly useless at this point.

Konstas is a flat track bully clown? Geez harsh

Going to be a bit tired with the new ball if we do enforce the follow on.

Why umpire than? I don’t want to get back into playing in case I’m forced to go to square leg…. Or score. Stuff that.

So is it tea or not? It would be ridiculous not to take it here.

Teams would take advantage of it as in faking injury. Can’t happen.

Seriously good catch, don’t underestimate it. They almost never get taken.

Brilliant stuff smudge. Has looked great since tea especially

It’s not great but still time to lose if we had our inevitable collapse. Now we shouldn’t lose. We are usually all out by now.

Really? Only the WC or WTC ORRR the time he averaged over 50 opening for Australia in India last time we had a test series there?

Onya Smith, battling real hard out there. I’m never getting a change to this cricket side though. Need a score from Ussie next innings and would be nice to see Marsh have a good test.

Siraj head (no pun intended) about to explode

No no no no no. I like your posting with a different angle from other posters but please don’t talk about numbers ever again. Thanks Phat, love ya, no offence meant but it’ll drive me insane. Cheers 🍻

Sorry Phat but the not out excuse for a high average is the worst reasoning ever. You don’t go out of course your average is good, that’s the whole point.

He was hitting it crisp at the G. Than just hits it straight to a fielder and the collapse began. Thought he was set for a huge score that day.

Tbf I’m just a bit over eager for change. Our lineup is in shocking form for years, something has to give. Yeah I’m rushing with Patterson but it’s time to move on from these old and out of form players. Have Inglis at 4, pick Hilton, just do something.

We do actually. Patterson is better than Smith now. Webster is better than Marsh. Plenty would do better than McSweeney and Khawaja opening and McSweeney can do better than Labuschagne. Inglis is also a better keeper than Carey but Carey’s batting is good enough to have him in the side. Maybe...

The stats were done on McSweeney when he has had to come in early for SA. He fails, his form is good but not when he has had to come in really early.

I have been saying constantly to open with Head or another established player up top to save us the trouble of looking for openers we don’t have. We know McSweeney isn’t an opener and Khawaja was going to retire so instead of looking for 2 openers we don’t have, it would be much easier looking...

Yeah and when he does he doesn’t do well.

I interpreted the opposite. Guess we won’t know. Nice pins Isa

Wait, they have a documentary being made after finishing 6th??? lol, that’s hilarious hope it’s as good as the streak. Just looked at the results of this thread. Wowee. Ok 😝 Guess we could cop injuries like we did in 2023, anything can happen but I’m pretty sure teams might actually put some...

I could look it up but what is Marsh averaging since call up? There isn’t many in the Aussie team with a good average in the past 2 years, not even Head. Having Marsh with the best average tells us everything we need to know about how bad we’ve been. Surely Head’s average is better than Marsh...

I get it rains a bit in Sydney early Jan but is it really that bad? Looking at the forecast, Brisbane is the real chance of a wash out. On another note, how much has really changed from last test to this test in terms of dropping players? Labuschagne was severely out of sorts and did well for...

Won’t happen but I can get around this.

Thankyou

Geez Siraj is a tosser. The worst kind aswell

He did, that’s why he gave it. It’s hardly the umpires fault when he is walking off.
