3rd Test Border Gavaskar Trophy December 14-18 1050hrs @ The Gabba

The mid off isn't where he should be again. Too wide.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

sadly i think you are right but marsh is the type you can't keep picking on trust just doesn't have the game, McSweeney bowls handy off spin too i'd rather that in Sri lanka

Play Webster over Marsh- gives spin and pace and would bat much as probably

 

[TigerCraig]

Captains should just shake hands now and get a good tee time tomorrow

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Yeah, even if we got Akash/Bumrah now, Cummins and Starc are off a long spell. Would be hard going to get any inroads into India top order with the new ball.

It's literally the only option if we get a wicket now.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

We can’t enforce the follow on while being a bowler down in these conditions. Cummins looks genuinely cooked.

We probably won't need to choose.

 

[hawkman]

Cummins not really disproving the dumb fast bowler stereotype

 

[Westend]

Mitch marsh haters out again

 

[TigerCraig]

Why is Marsh in the team again?
Two cooked fast bowlers and one useless all rounder that they don’t trust to bowl. Add to the fact he hasn’t scored runs and I ask the question, Why is Marsh in the team?

Designated catcher?

 

[juice t]

They gave up a follow on to a bloke with a worse batting average than Glenn McGrath

 

[Jimthegreat]

Despite his great catching the first bloke I have out is Marsh. He should be here bowling.

3 catches.
Looks like a powerful cricketer.
Surname of Marsh.
Is a good bloke.

 

[CakeEater]

Get the feeling this team just wants India to score 5 more runs

 

[BG32]

Do we get more WTC points for bowling them out with the option of a follow on?

 

[Gavin Excell]

Pitch the f^&*ing thing up!!!!

You've got to Frank it up

Literally no one knows.

Statistically he'd be one of the worst number six batsmen to represent Australia for more than a handful of games. He's one more failure away from averaging under 30. At this point he's a glorified tail ender with the bat at test level.

Bit of a theme of Cummins captaincy. No killer instinct

 

[hawkman]

I doubt they will be playing in 10 minutes anyway

 

[BGman]

They will avoid the follow on. But was Pat going to enforce it without Hazlewood and he and Starc almost cooked. Doubt it.

 

[windyhill]

**** I love watching tailenders bat. Especially v Australia.

 

[Swanny69]

Bowlers look cooked tbh .. but I did get the sense they thought it was bagged up when the 9th wicket fell

 

[Drakescoffeecake]

Mitch marsh haters out again

Dude can't call himself an all rounder if all he does is bat and make 20 odd.

Haters got to hate

 

[JimmyBC]

The regulation tail wag under the Cummins captaincy.

 

[Visions]

This last wicket partnership is better than most of Australias opening partnerships.
