We get towelled up by 200 odd runs.
It's obvious India win this. They had enough at the end of our first innings.

Who the hell would change their 11 based on the toss?
Teams change their team based on the pitch don't you think they would based on whether they're batting first or second ?
Even if they don't it's an option and adds a bit of intrigue and something for the commentators to navel gaze about on a boring day 4

Game will be effected by rain and will be a draw,pleeeeeeeeeeese.
Deadset, that shot that MMarsh played to get out has to signify the end of his tenure in the test side for a lengthy period of time.
Feel for him, but he has had so many chances and he's just not up to it.

Read this on some cricket news site ... love this ..
When Rishabh Pant was on strike, Paine said to his teammate, Aaron Finch who was at short leg.
"Tell you what, big MS is back in the one-day squad, we might get him (Pant) down to the Hurricanes, this bloke. "We need a batter," Paine said to Finch.
"Not if he keeps blocking them," Finch replied.
"Fancy that, Panty? Surely, extend your little Aussie holiday," Paine asked Pant.
"Beautiful town Hobart, too. We'll get you a nice apartment on the waterfront. We'll have him over for dinner. Can you babysit? I'll take the wife to the movies one night, you'll look after the kids,"

Wasn't it elite honesty?

Well spun, Shane. Numbers lie when it comes to Handscomb.
Laughing at your Mitch Marsh agenda. I bet you thought the booing was warranted & just. Classy individual you are, with your dementia jibes and all.

At the start of the day he will never ever be a good test cricketer, he's just not up to it.
WTF he gets chance after chance is baffling.
He even said himself he's there to do the donkey work.
These selectors are a massive problem, how the **** do they see Finch as a test batsman?
I’m not sure, but we batted for over 160 overs to save a game in the UAE against Pakistan only 3 months ago. This team can do it, and hopefully this bowling inspires them a bit.

Numbers tell the truth for Mitch Marsh - second worst test batsman to ever play 30 more tests. But keep telling us how technically superior he was in the whopping 9 runs he scored.
Sounds like the Internet isn’t for you pal. It’s best you stay in your safe place where words cannot hurt you.

Imagine sitting down next to this skinny lad. You'd think he was was a student. Pretty intelligent. Couldn't catch a ball to save his life.
Nope, just elite talent.
A fantastic performance and in a series where the batting has been pretty dour, he's been the highlight for me. Him and Cummins a pretty clear talent edge on the rest of the field IMO.
(Quoting myself like a flog but I don't care, go **** yourself.)
Yes I agree. He’s been my favourite player to watch this series from both teams. Seems like a classy sportsman as well, let’s just hope he doesn’t end up taking after his captain and become a flog

FMD, who was worse?!?
Do you think it's the first time he's ever played a terrible shot when his team needed him to perform?
If all his other useless performances had no effect on him being selected why would this one?
It is history's most bizarre selection.
Does anybody - including MMarsh - actually believe he'll make valuable runs for Australia?
The selectors are just trolling us. There's no other explanation.

Thanks.....
I reckon he'd do better than half our current batsmen

Rehashing, you are lad. So I will too.
Pigeon would’ve looked more comfortable than Handscomb against that Indian attack. Woeful. Walking wicket against England, rightfully dropped, comes back a year later, even worse.
181 in an Ashes test is telling for Mitch. Serviceable technique, despite his flaws. Better option at It’l level than Handscomb, though they’re both utter liabilities.
That’s that. My take on it is different to most, oh the humanity.
Implying you’re of questionable character because of that dementia comment (among other things) doesn’t have anything to do with my suitability to these waters.
Your comprehension ain’t the only thing off about you, pal.
Based on Cricket Australia CEO's comments about BBL recently, seems like the priorities for Test Cricket are only gonna go down the crappier. Don't think things will improve even with the new board.

The old adage of bowling trash gets wickets working for Cummins. Still a bog ordinary bowler despite what the stat line says.
