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

Starc in trouble - im right behind him

If Starc breaks down and can’t bowl, they’ll be ****ed and really pay the price for picking him.

Starc

 

[Scorpus]

Bumrah was pretty clear in his pre-match interview today that he thought the pitch was a road

 

[010203]

Hopefully Starc's potential injury isn't going to encourage Cummins to get Marnus to bowl his right arm medium junk.

 

[hawkman]

Could be Marsh's time to actually bowl an over or 2

We are lucky India gifted us 3 wickets

Groundskeeper hurting Australia's chances really. Need to have some pace and bounce.

 

[Around the Wicket]

I honestly don’t know how Starc doesn’t feel the heat more often.. although Warne was harsh at times and probably should have kept his thoughts to himself but he was 100% right about him.

If Starc breaks down and can’t bowl, they’ll be ****ed and really pay the price for picking him.

On the plus side, its an excuse not to pick him in Sydney - and they wouldn't drop him for a hometown Test otherwise.

If Jaiwasal made stumps he makes a massive 200 imo

 

[Heeney2Franklin]

Always happy to give opposition credit India looked cooked 160-6 great fightback

 

[Plugger35]

Medium pace Marsh getting a trundle, it's desperation station.

 

[010203]

I want to congratulate Flem for going a whole stint without unleashing a single Flemism.

 

[1990crow]

Marsh would struggle to get a third grade batsmen out right now.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Nice to see Marsh giving it some flight

 

[Kuuz]

Marsh has bowled 3 overs, same as Head.

Honestly, the stubbornness of the selectors at picking a guy in a batting order position, to serve zero gain, is just the height of stupidity.

Hazlewood breaking down last game and Starc showing signs today, clearly highlights the need for a solid 5th bowler.

I just don’t get how selectors keep underrating a true allrounder.

 

[SC_Power]

If M Marsh couldn’t bowl they should have kept McSweeney and gave him a shot in his more favoured middle order

Since his comeback into the Australian team
Barely 5 overs per innings, just 9 wickets @47.
Averaging 20 with the bat this year
Is clearly not selected as an all rounder.

On the plus side, its an excuse not to pick him in Sydney - and they wouldn't drop him for a hometown Test otherwise.

Until he bowls an over in an indoor net session on Thursday and declares himself 100% fit…

 

[western royboy]

All this talk of Graeme Wood in this thread has certainly had an effect - there’s some kamikaze stuff going on out there

 

[Tiges1229]

We’ve totally let India back into the match

 

[Xtreme]

About time Marsh is back on.

LOL LYON SUFFER

 

[Howard Littlejohn]

Medium pace Marsh getting a trundle, it's desperation station.

On this summer's form, yep. But the ball is too new to want to give Head an extended spell, or use Lab's spin (his short shit medium is never to be used).

 

[dogs105]

Marsh floating them up more than Lyon

 

[Plugger35]

Starc as hopeless in the field as he was bowling, not an easy chance though.

 

[Around the Wicket]

Half chance.. reacted too slow to make it a real one
