Certified Legendary Thread 4th Test Border Gavaskar Trophy December 26-30 1000hrs @ the MCG

[Speck]

Congratulations Webster.

 

[Maddo11]

Marsh, I always liked ya mate, that purple patch you had was top notch.

So long, man.

 

[Gethelred]

Well, now.

They find a way to lose this, that's a 'heads will roll' loss. Regime changing stuff.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

This batting has been terrible today

 

[Iceman!]

You can’t even blame Marsh. It’s the selectors fault for picking him here. No one thought he was a chance of making a run

 

[catstorm]

Last test match for Marsh, offers nothing with Bat or Ball.

Why exactly does this guy get so many chances, he’s hopeless.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

GTFO Marsh you spud

Hope the selectors are proud as should have been replaced by Webster in Adelaide.

Going to need Carey & tail to wag.

 

[hawkman]

May as well keep walking back to Perth

 

[Southerntakeover]

The real question now is do we even make the fifth day.

 

[The Defender]

Wow.. anything could happen now..

No only 1 possible outcome

 

[Manbearpig77]

Never play test cricket again Marsh.

 

[fuic08]

Crazy by Bailey to continue to carry good vibes tm in the side.

 

[adogsfan5]

Suddenly a shit show lol

 

[Pure_Ownage]

Well, now.

They find a way to lose this, that's a 'heads will roll' loss. Regime changing stuff.

Won't be as Bailey won't resign and no one will sack him they have no courage.

 

[kenneje]

Inglis or Webster need to be batting at 6 come the SCG.

Games still on, but these two will need to put on 50.

 

[Mister B]

2 absolute gift dismissals. Could prove very costly.

Will prove costly. The stupidity of our bowlers (namely the captain and Starc) will guarantee that India runs the total down.

 

[imagifED]

Mr Vibes.

 

[Stan Van Gundy]

Good riddance! On your bike Mitch!

 

[Struggle]

Don't worry, marsh will make up for it with 2 overs 0 for 13

 

[gtrxuone]

Best average for a bowler taking 200+ wickets, ahead of the 3 great Windies quicks.

Wow hes a freak of a bowler
Was nervious about Bumrah yesterday.
Thought this day and wicket was right up his alley

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Marsh simply cannot play in Sydney

 

[psychobrown]

Was very excited for this Marsh failure and he did not disappoint

 

[Ephemeral Hope]

I sat through an entire days play at the ground yesterday watching our bowlers make this look the flattest least threatening wicket ever with their poor bowling. Now I see their bowlers ripping through our best players with ease. Someone explain what we were doing wrong with the bowling to not be anywhere near this threatening

 

[cats_09]

Surely that wicket of Marsh all but confirms a test debut for Webster in Sydney

 

[Kapow!!!]

Because it’s probably the most heated rivalry they have, it’s a trophy they haven’t had in a decade, India keeps beating them on their home soil which never happened in their history so would surely be something that has pricked their pride. The WTC they have already won anyway which while nice, they’ve ticked off the bucket list. It’s also a relatively contrived and inequitable tournament.

...just no. The Ashes is and always will be the most heated rivalry to any Australian player. Any other series is a pretty cheap facsimile in terms of emotional motivation.

They'd definitely still prefer to win this trophy then sew up the WTC berth but your assertion that this is the most heated rivalry they have is wildly off base
