No point a bowler down with this weather around we aren't bowling them out in time. Game is gone. We should just bat all day tomorrow.
No dangles. Don't want to be 2-1 down for no reason, especially being a bowler short.
Genuine think its a missed opportunity tomorrow if Australia come out and plod 40 off the first 10 overs. If that happens, then its game over- a draw.

Given the pressure Khawaja, Marnus and McSweeney and the lack of flex from Aus management, I cant see it happening.
 
Have them chase 300 and bowl them out in two sessions.
We just spent an hour trying to take the 10th wicket.

There’s also 23mm of rain predicted for tomorrow. We may not even get 2 sessions.
 
Rejig the batting lineup tomorrow and treat it like a mini T20 . Australia is the only side that can win this still and every second matters tomorrow.

Id send Bison, Head, Carey up as Top 3 tomorrow.

Bison is a spud.
 
I agree, bat all day and bugger their bowlers. Hazlewood going down and Marsh not bowling just means that trying for a result is going to cook Starc and Cummins for the remaining tests that will actually matter.

There's no opportunity left. It's done. Go in 1-1 to Melbourne.

I have been critical of the short ball in the past... Today what would you have them do... The ball is doing sweet **** all. Pitch it up and they would have been just as untroubled.
The half hearted short balls are much easier for tail enders to score off.

Using ODI tactics when the bowlers aren’t fresh is beyond stupid, especially when there was definitely still a little in the pitch. If they get the runs with us pitching it up then well played but trying to buy tail end wickets is such negative captaincy.
 
Remind me why Marsh is in the team....to bat AND bowl....but he hardly bowls. Hazelwood out of game (and series) so Australia are a bowler down and looking cooked and tired....this is when Marsh should be bought on to bowl..but he hasn't yet. He offers nothing......at all. Disgraceful. Why do they keep picking him.....so that the "Bison" can take miracle catches?.......and yes I live in Perth, WA..

He has taken the same amount of wickets as Lyon has this series
 
Have said it before many times, but the captains that I had when I used to coach under 17's (where you leave most of the skippering to the actual captain) had better tactics than the Cummins/McDonald combo.

He is close mates with Pat Cummins. Always been a boys club at Cricket Australia.
 
Why not have a little dash and put alot dangle in front of the Indians?

Nup. Australia's tactics should be to get the last wicket, declare straight away, then send India back in. Time is of the essence. All out attack with what time is remaining. Australia batting again would be pointless.
