Marsh dropped

Marsh dropped

Good news for the Australian Cricket Team, and our chances of winning back the BGT.

... disappointing for Marsh, who has been robbed the opportunity to gain an Australian WOAT title.

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Marsh dropped

Thank goodness!

Everyone knew it Tests ago... but the selectors.

Marsh can stick to the shorter form of the game where he is more suited.

Hopefully the Crows selectors finally wake up too!

Gee I can’t possibly see him making it with our ins
Ooops cricket thread I sollie

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Australian selectors being a lot braver this series than I thought.

I didn't think we'd debut Konstas in a tough series
I didn't think we'd drop Marsh with the series on the line

Even selecting McSweeney initially over "safer" options like Harris or Bancroft who'd played at the level.

Good to see

 

[Cap]

Interesting if he does well.

hopefully he does

 

[spenze]

Marsh was coming good as well

You lost me in that first sentence. Snicko has never been the word of god. It's just a tool in a basket of tools. You rely on the third umpire's intuition to use the correct tools. Of course something which is clearly visible to the naked eye should override something that is audio based.

The hilarious irony of Indian cricket complaining about this decision is that it actually came down to human interpretation of the rules, which is what they've been clamouring for. They get mad if you use the technology, they get mad if you don't use the technology. Maybe they just like getting mad.

Absolutely, they are blaming technology for failing when the basic technology (video) showed the clear deflection.
Snicko should never over rule what can clearly be seen.
Just like if a spike is shown on snicko but there is a clear gap shown with two corresponding video angles, you can’t give it out.

Have you got a direct line to his partner?

They need to be braver though as they should have made the Marsh call for the Adelaide Test as soon as he couldn't bowl... & meanwhile we have had fast bowlers breakdown as we have had a lack of a 5th bowling option.

We need to find out & can't be any worse than Marsh.

Just out of interest - how could you tell the difference? He can't bowl even when he is fit.

Took 3 wickets in the 1st Test... & nothing since he has been injured.

I mentioned at the time we should have dropped him for the Adelaide Test.

It's impacted on our quicks breaking down carrying more of a load.

They don't bowl him much even when he is fit. Woeful as his batting is, his bowling is even worse.

Taking 3 wickets in the first test should not be seen as indicative of his bowling's impact. That was an abnormally good return for him.

My point was he could bowl in the 1st Test!

Since then he has been injured & limited... which is why I said he should have been replaced by Webster in Adelaide.

This poor decision has impacted on the workloads of the quicks.

Was very short-sighted imo.

Your point is correct that he could bowl in the first test.

My point is that his bowling is so bad that it makes very little difference whether or not he's fit to bowl.

Selecting him, rather than an all-rounder with a modicum of actual bowling talent, has clearly resulted in the quicks having to bowl more overs than is idea, risking burnout.

I, for one, welcome Msrsh being dropped for the simple reason Vader will no longer continue to spam the thread.

Unless of course, he thinks the Sydney pitch is a road.
