Maxwell is not a better batsman than Shaun Marsh. Give me a break. Maxwell is over-rated in every capacity and is hitting boundaries against a second XI NSW bowling attack on a U/12 sized oval. Big deal.

Maxwell has more god-given talent in his pinkie than Marsh.
Should be in the Test side.

 

[Upgrayedd]

batted well in india and been in better form in the shield didn't deserve to be dropped so yes he is a better bat and fielder then marsh

Batter? Nah

In saying that i dont think either should be in the test side

 

[Woody15]

Is there where to come in and write Bancroft off after 1 innings?

That is an embarrassing post.

Maxwell at his worst is infinitely better than Shun Mush

Selecting Shun is akin to playing 10 on 12.

That is an embarrassing post.

you mates with Shaun or something?
watch him fail again today and then get back to me ..

 

[Browney2006]

Run Rate of 2.16, embarrassing, so slow, boring batting.

Oh shit Australia are batting. I mean excellent test cricket, composed, fantastic way to grind down the bowlers.

An attack who have all played for Australia? Only one who hasn’t played test cricket...

As for the ground, it’s Marsh making 90 after failing in the first dig on a similar shit ground that got him a test spot...

marsh is a dud

wouldn't have dropped that outfield catch today either ..

 

[matty lloyd the champ]

"Shaun Marsh, he's a batsman."

Glowing endorsement from Healy hahahaha

 

[SterlingArcher]

I think Khawaja is set for a big one here. Will have a point to prove, is destructive on Australian wickets.

I sure as hell hope that he is.

That NSW second XI attack would be first XI in nearly every other state (well other than Abbott).

all girl scan

Warner and Khawaja have got to make 150+ together or we're stuffed.

 

[a mayes ing]

Crazy how threatening they look when compared to our new ball bowlers

 

[Upgrayedd]

Can't say it was dumb batting from Bancroft, just good bowling from Broad, he shaped it in to get Bancroft fishing at it and then got just enough seam away to take the edge.

Peach delivery. As well. Feel bad. Bancroft looked comfy and got beaten by a great delivery

you mates with Shaun or something?
watch him fail again today and then get back to me ..

He'll probably fail. Again. I was livid at marsh's selection. But hes way. Way. Way. Way more talented technically proficient then Maxwell. I dont think either should be in the 11.

Difference is you're still Poms, we're no longer convicts.

I've never understood the English mentality.

They chose to punish people by sending them to an island paradise with sun and surf.

Meanwhile they stayed in the dank, dark, sunless shitholes of places like Birmingham and Manchester.

And somehow they still think they made the right choice. If I was an English kid, I'd be suing my great-grandparents for forcing me to live there.

Anyway, back to the cricket ...

At the moment our run rate is higher than Englands
(I probably just jinxed it whoops)

 

[Kapow!!!]

And the 12 balls that Bancroft left would have all been played at and missed by Renshaw.

Yeah...no. (Seriously! 12 balls? How did you not filter how ridiculous that sounded before posting?!?!)

Mind you one bad knock does not a Shaun Marsh make

Aggressivr bowling. We struggled and were not forcing england to make. Mistakes. Just hoping the entire first two sessions.

 

[Stevi_Tigers]

before i jinx it warner playing composed

 

[TheWoodenSlug]

Root should get Moeen Ali on now and crowd the bat to Khawaja, he's a bunny against spin.

Nailed it
