1st Test Border Gavaskar Trophy November 22-26 1350hrs @ Perth Stadium

[Marstermind]

Can't pick Labuschagne again. There may not be anyone banging the door down, but you can't keep rewarding that shit.

 

[Westend]

Not sure putting a 19 year old in is the answer.

inglis is the spare batter he must come in next test

Smith to three head to four Inglis 5 Marsh 6

 

[Scorpus]

Given our bowlers are allergic to bowling at the stumps I wonder if that's also true in the nets to our batsman

 

[illegaleagle]

Honestly Marnus needs to be dropped. What's he done the last 12 months

More like 3 years

 

[Marshland]

I predict 20/1 at the close.

If only...

 

[Bedi]

Predictably pathetic showing

 

[Blightys Barrel]

Usman told him that was plum then, but he still reviewed it. The most selfish player I've seen in some time.

Between him and Smith, they are most selfish in this regards. It’s all about them and has nothing to do with the team. He or Smith need to be replaced in this series as they have forgotten how to score runs.

 

[Belnakor]

Made 90 odd in NZ.

He’s also been decent at first class level. He isn’t getting dropped.

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

How do you know he said it was plum?

Think he shook his head about 3-4 times

 

[rdhopkins2]

Swing the changes. Who is playing well in the Sheffield Shield!?

3 reviews mate. You review every lbw.

 

[Westend]

The late collapse was the most predictable thing ever. Live at the ground and I've never seen a worse day of play by an Australian team.

Feel for you Balls....I was there on the first day ....and I thought 7 for F**k was bad

 

[OhhhhhCyril]

 

[Achy Blakey Heart]

Is Smith any better though?

Smith deserves a lot more grace than Marnus.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Konstas to open.

Smith to 3. McSweeney to 4.

Labuschange to ****-offs-ville.

 

[hawkman]

not sure what more you can say really.

City put in a better performance than the Australians did today

 

[new breed]

This has 2010 Ashes feel all over it. Absolute debacle.

No sets up the series beautifully , will be close Aussie's still win the series.

 

[PhatBoy]

it may not come across in how I talk about him:

But I actually WANT to like Marnus. He’s not a boofhead or malicious or anything like that, seems like a kind fellow off the field etc.

But on the field he could do with a serious dose of humility. A captain that tells him he won’t be bowling all series until he shows him in the nets that he’s good enough. A ban from reviewing unless he knows he’s hit an lbw shout or hasn’t hit a caught behind shout.

Fielding on the boundary. He needs a dose of reality.

 

[benbrown]

They should have declared an hour earlier and maybe could have played golf tommorow

 

[Westend]

Swing the changes. Who is playing well in the Sheffield Shield!?

inglis comes in for marnus

 

[tigersnag]

Weak carnt Manus. Take the bloodnut coach with you and FO.

 

[The King!]

I guess Smith has 2 days to show us something

 

[Belnakor]

Webster is about it and he’s a lower order batter.

Tbh we have no shortage of 5-6 batsman. The problem is at the top.

 

[Manbearpig77]

The BG is usually 4 matches long.

Let’s just pretend this one never happened.

Changes must be made for the next test though.

 

[MarcMaverick]

It's gonna be great when the selectors make zero changes this entire summer

So the Simon Goodwin Method.
