How is roasting your team mate going to help his confidence?

 

[Crankyhawk]

JL "the question is can Mitch Marsh make hundreds in Sydney?"

I'll answer that in the negative.

he doesn't bowl long enough to get a hundred

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Marsh is averaging worse than Kim Hughes this series

Marsh is averaging worse than Kim Hughes this series

It has nothing on Shaun Marsh's nightmare series against India.



17 runs at 2.83 batting number 3 including 3 ducks.

 

[dumb]

Can't possibly pick Bison next test. Thanks for coming Travis, see you next year.

Runs in the family. Or not

We won that test series comfortably which allowed us to carry someone. Not like this series.

The Labs one I can understand the frustration, absolute sitter and Aussies were only 205 in front at that stage.

 

[Stax on the mill]

A good short leg/silly point takes that 9 times out of 10. Stop putting the bloke in the danger zone, he’s having one of those days

Poor bugger. He’d feel absolutely crap, particularly if these 2 put on another 50 runs. Wonder if he’ll be in a close in catching position after tea.

What’s the record for catches dropped by a fieldsman in a test match innings? PhatBoy, you’re good on stats? That’s 3 and counting.

 

[Outtatym]

Haven't seen Konstas kissing babies or signing autographs today. Is he ok?

 

[Around the Wicket]

Thats interesting.

Didn’t Smith drop four in an innings vs Sri Lanka

Kim Hughes had to face one of the best bowling attacks of all time with a Windies attack of Holding, Marshall, Garner and Walsh.

If you think facing Bumrah is tough, they had about 4 fast bowlers that were just as good and as deadly as him.

Allan Border was about the only Aussie batsman that could survive and make a decent score against that line up.

Not sure, but you’re probably right.

A fate worse than death getting lumped next to a w***er like KP

And the Aussies played like 15 out of 20 test that period against the windies with that bowling attack .. hard stuff for batters

 

[Scorpus]

If they don't drop Marsh they are effectively saying there are zero other all rounders in Australia

It’s Sunday.
So, church choir practice I assume.

Finally came to the realization that test cricket is harder than what he thought.

 

[Marshland]

Early prediction: DRAW

 

[010203]

Just like Sri Lanka yesterday against New Zealand. Australia grabbing defeat from jaws of victory.

Absolutely pathetic batting performance. None worse than Smith

That was a monumtal choke by Sri Lanka.

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Jasiwal has been taken out from under the lid

 

[010203]

Jadeja's last over took 90 seconds. I wonder how Lyon's overs take.

There was back to back test series against the Windies back in 1984 both here and there and they were out here all the time.

They were the big money spinners back then, they were the 80s version of India, no South Africa back then either to mix it up.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

C'mon guys, just hit it to Jaiswal

 

[Marshland]

Jadeja's last over took 90 seconds. I wonder how Lyon's overs take.

A lot longer, considering the ball dribbling to long off and long on every delivery.
