Marsh is... Swinging it???

 

[Ohitsthatguy]

It reeks of trying to get him a wicket to keep him in the side for Sydney

Culture. We are laid back, relatively egalitarian and direct in our opinions.

You gain respect like a Bumrah by being a great player and a good bloke.

You purposely shoulder charge a 19.y.o then play victim and carry on, you will get told exactly what an Australian thinks of you, a snivelling entitled princess.

the poster wasnt referring to indian cricketers. the poster was referring to the indian supporters.

Oh give it a ****ing break.

At the Gabba I heard people calling him "Jasprit Bum Raper", calling him a pedophile, saying shit about his parents, etc etc.

We're not the beacons of respect and morality you keep trying to suggest.

If that type of behaviour is caught at any sporting venue then it needs to be called out and reported.

But it goes back to what I said in an earlier post.....there are good supporters and bad supporters for EVERY cricketing nation. No cricketing nation only has good supporters/fans.

Disappointing by India, I thought they were going to have a crack

Think they did but were missing a lot of attacking shots.

 

[Stig O'Hara]

Chance there Alex.

 

[Gethelred]

Is Marsh really the best option at the moment?

He's getting a little bit of tail away at the moment. I was against it before he came on, but it feeds into Kohli's desire to go fishing outside off.

And he's bowling okay.

I don't think he's going to like what will happen

One could say hes Reddy

Reddy to go

He is swinging them but at 125km lol.

I think they're just bowling him now as we need the more accurate bowlers to bowl more consistently when the ball gets softer so as not to risk as many run-scoring opportunities

It'll be a long day for Starc, Cummins and Boland so I can see the merit in having Marsh as relief so soon.

I hope that's the case and not what you mentioned.

Smashed the 5 day record yesterday and beaten the 6 day record today.

 

[Coasters7]

Inglis takes that

Hi Tim

That aint happening

 

[MisterB]

As if anyone should give a fat rats tossbag what Bogle, the leader of the Indian Cheer Squad, thinks.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Bit harsh on Starc, mate.

Marsh lol

If you get out to him bowling 120 whatever’s sack yourself

 

[Golumless]

Also to give Boland/Cummins a bit of a rest.

Though, it's probably goat time.

Agreed. This is the point I was making, I wasn't blanket shitting on Australian fans. For the record, it was reported and 3 separate knobs in my section were kicked out of the stadium for that shit.

Anyway, back to the game!

 

[Moonwatcher]

It did tail in there

 

[Joffaboy]

And further to this point, I heard nothing like this from the Indian fans, who stood and applauded when Smith and Head tonned up and while they were walking off after they were dismissed, despite about a 50/50 split of fans where I was.

So much casual racism in these match threads from the same assholes talking about how disrespectful the Indians are.

Sure you did, did you report them? You are talking about totally unacceptable racism, I am talking about good natured booing, and the Indians at the G on Saturday were shouting very disrespectful things, so don't make them out as the beacon of morality.

You equate good natured barracking with racism, which in itself is pretty pathetic.

LOL.

 

[Joffaboy]

Did you call people out for this or is it just another thing that simply didn’t happen but it suits your narrative?
