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

[ITCHY EYEBALLS]

I'll say it again, if the rain holds off, India win this

 

[Nuggetz]

Could this be an epic finish to the test?

The upside is, SE QLD will soon cease to exist given the incoming storms (hopefully)

I'm not a Marsh fan, but that felt particularly unfair.

It seemed like he was being told to go in out of position and prove some value to the team after making no runs and evidently being unable to bowl.

 

[NYRB]

If Mitch Marsh isn't able to bowl 10-15 overs a day then why is he in the side? He's nowhere near a number 6 if he's not contributing with the ball.

He is Pat Cummins best mate. Plus the Aussie team is as Purple Circle a team as you can get. A boys club, a mates club.

So none of these blokes actually know where their off stump is??

First innings performance:

 

[jannissary]

what does marsh provide to the team exactly? maybe decent fielding, but he’s an all rounder who rarely bowls, and averages below 30 with the bat

 

[The Terrible Thinker]

We need the rain to comeback

 

[chriso11]

India “we can’t win”
Aus “winning is overrated”

 

[hawkman]

Batting for Melbourne I would go for

Harris (for the lack of a better option)
Konstas
Smith
Head
Inglis
Webster
Carey

 

[Young Redleg]

If Australia lose this they would need a massive look at themselves. Would be an all time great choke.

Said it before the last test and this test. He is no where near good enough to justify a spot on his batting alone. If he can not bowl he has to go for Webster.

 

[ptrg]

Old mate is surely running in the danger area every ball there?
Ump had a chat at end of the over. Zero effort to move off the zone

Webster must come in for him. This is not acceptable.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Marsh's late career revival was fun while it lasted, but time to stamp his papers.

 

[Stax on the mill]

Mitch needs time in the middle

Yeah. For W.A.

 

[Carn The Berries]

No where near fit to bowl. So he’s basically a specialist no 6 too.

Specialist in the Dr. Nick Riviera way...

 

[Belnakor]

Marnus and McSweeney haven't delivered here but their partnership under pressure under lights put us in the box seat in the last test. Ussie is the one that's on borrowed time.

Mcsweeney isn’t up to it. He can’t score. He waits for the bad ball which just doesn’t come at test level.

 

[Burtonsgottago]

this is interesting. Bison in to smack it around a bit. looks like we're going for it

 

[The Lobbster]

No we aren't

Even if shit goes really badly India will need to chase 250 odd with 50 overs left (assuming no more interruptions). 3 bowlers would make it tricky but the draw is still massive favourite.

I'm monitoring it, but that big blue/red clusterf**k is blowing out to the north east (out to sea) isn't it?

 

[kickazz]

Two theories…

Australia are trying to set up a chase

Mitch needs time in the middle

Second theory - fair enough.

First - surely he can go out there and play some shots. I know he likes to built an innings but a world class #4 should have the ability to provide quick runs when needed.

 

[Magma]

such a shit, nothing shot and he's not bowling, so really, what is the point? if he's just poking at the ball he's never going to make any runs
