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

[dogs105]

Brad Hodge, Martin Love, Stuart Law and Tom Moody played a combined 20 tests between them but Marsh gets over 40 tests to spud it up inin.

A couple of those got the "shit bloke" deduction though

 

[k31th]

Bumrah fielding badly now, too...

 

[Voice of the G]

I thought you would need at least 400! ( just a guess) as I'm not sure what the pitch will do on day 3-4

Starting to agree on 400 now.

 

[Coasters7]

75 over old ball still jagging back. Good signs.

 

[RandB]

Carey has to go ahead of Marsh in the batting order

They've absolutely wasted Carey's batting career.

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

And Cox.

+ Jimmy Maher

 

[Black Diamond]

Very good between the wickets this innings. Best I can recall for a while.

 

[western royboy]

Would have averaged 60 without the runouts...


I remember him making a century about every 4 tests, and nothing in between...

Very nervous starter - after he was done at Test level went back to WA and batted at 4 and brought through a generation of good players

 

[Run n Spread]

Carey is a really solid 7, leave him at 7. The answer is finding a better number 6 not messing with Carey.

He is a talent been wasted at 7. Give him more responsibility. Bat him at 3 even Stick Labaschagne at 6 he can block there and shield the batsman up the order from battingnwith the tail. Bowling all rounder can go to 7

 

[Jim Prideaux]

Not for a while but just drop Marsh and play Webster. Heck play mcsweeney Marsh doesn't bowl anyway. Even Abbott bats better than Marsh right now.

Agreed, Green doesn’t need to be back to drop Marsh, hell, even Inglis would be more useful.

 

[Stax on the mill]

Carey 6
Cummins 7
Starc 8
Marsh 12

EFA

 

[Neese]

Do not talk to anyone in the drinks break

 

[HK_Hawk]

Carey has to go ahead of Marsh in the batting order

Agreed. I’d put Bog down at #9 on current form.

Was one of my favourites as a young kid.

Not too many centuries being made back then.


Wayne Phillips (SA) was another.

The forgotten man of red ball cricket but to late now and to old, Glen Maxwell.

 

[TigerCraig]

Walk away from the mic boys

 

[Financialpanther]

Agreed. I’d put Bog down at #9 on current form.

Make him 12th man if everyone likes having him around

 

[Gough]

Was one of my favourites as a young kid.

Wayne Phillips (SA) was another.

They wrecked him trying to turn him into a wicketkeeper.

 

[Neese]

Bumrah getting massaged.

 

[iDon]

I am sure this has been done to death but can we know why Marsh is in this team? 22 average, doesn't bowl and we lose two quick wickets.

 

[King Elvis]

Webster must come in for Marsh.

Strengthens us for NSW - but, importantly, what're we doing in Sri Lanka?

2 quicks and 2 spinners? Webster to support, or Maxwell?

 

[danielnajdek]

Konstas highlights again.

 

[Joffaboy]

Remember when Australia had the luxury of dropping Martyn for half a decade?

If Bumrah gets 3 more wickets for under 158 runs he will be the first player in history to get 200 wickets for an average under 20.

What a bowler.

He got run out 5 times in his career.

Webster can bowl both off-spin and pace. who needs Maxwell?
