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

[western royboy]

Not able to watch - why is Smith not batting?

Two theories…

Australia are trying to set up a chase

Mitch needs time in the middle

 

[1990crow]

Australia needs to look at dropping Khawaja, Marsh and Labuschagne for the fourth test.
Both to win the series, and to get into the WTC final.

Out: Khawaja, Labuschagne, Marsh, Hazlewood
In: Hunt, Konstas, Boland, Webster

Move McSweeney to his natural spot at 3.

Konstas
Hunt
McSweeney
Smith
Head
Webster
Carey
Starc
Cummins
Lyon
Boland

 

[k31th]

this is a farce

 

[Jimthegreat]

Another bloke to be out of the side.

 

[THE A5]

Why is marsh batting so high?

 

[CakeEater]

Possibly the most fragile Australian top 3 in living memory

The non WSC aussie top 3 was worse

 

[chriso11]

Marsh you *******… DROP

 

[Magma]

nah come on man

 

[Stax on the mill]

Faaaaaark! Where’s that rain that’s supposed to be coming?

 

[Iceman!]

That is pathetic Marsh...

 

[Scorpus]

I'm glad they've come out to bat. This needed to be exposed ahead of the series deciding matches

 

[Rustin Cohle]

Great way to hand all the momentum back to India before the next test. They'll be flying at the MCG after this.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

We are going to lose this aren't we.

 

[CakeEater]

What does Geoff say to mitch now as he leaves?

Bison

 

[Fletched]

We need the rain to comeback

 

[Young Redleg]

Marsh is a straight out for Greene. Had a good 18 months but he's back to the player he was before 2023.

 

[Westend]

Bye Mitch

It would be a brave panel to do that and our panel is the opposite of brave

 

[Plugger35]

Marsh gone cheaply too, it's like they are trying to get dropped for the Boxing Day test.

 

[Iceman!]

We are going to lose this aren't we.

No we aren't

 

[eltrain]

We are going to lose this aren't we.

I've got a horrible horrible feeling about this

 

[Carn The Berries]

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.

 

[NYRB]

Huge question marks for 1,2,3, 6 and Hazlewood.

Indias tails are up, they have the momentum going into the 4th test.

Dont be surprised for the Aussies if there are at least 2 changes for Melbourne.

 

[Belnakor]

Marsh is a straight out for Greene. Had a good 18 months but he's back to the player he was before 2023.

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

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Who the hell is coaching Marsh? He is a stroke player and he continues to bat as if he is a top order batsman. It’s not his game to play like this.
Move Mitch on as he is miles away from being useful. I’m guessing just another in a long line of players who cannot bat if the ball is doing anything.
