Level below

Hmmmm i dunno, 200 wickets at 19 puts him in pretty rare air

 

[Firewalker]

Well an understatement but that’s a bad wicket to lose after all the hard work, lucky with a drop but Marnus looked magnificent today.

Held the innings together, when wickets were falling all around him.

Need the tail to wag some more though...

We'll be fine, Marsh can open the bowling

Doubt it as would be too tired after his long batting stint...

 

[Firewalker]

Idiotic by Starc

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

F! stupid run out!

 

[Firewalker]

Didn’t even run down the middle of the pitch to protect the stumps

 

[Eagleboy2011]

Great throw by the keeper.

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Didn’t even run down the middle of the pitch to protect the stumps

That's given out now

But a moronic call regardless

I guess, hard to back up after his first innings spell as well

The 12th man has been more involved than Marsh this Test...

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

I know we all want Marsh out of the team (me too) but Beau Webster is a pretty mediocre cricketers imho

Good Shield contributor but not quite test standard with bat or ball

Aaron Hardie I rate higher

Only if you really deviate from the original line you take, he had the opportunity in his turning circle to go up the middle of the pitch but chose the wrong line and actually changed direction to run away from the stumps and open up Pant’s view, a mess all round

Yeah, I wouldn't mind Hardie.

It's hard to go past what Webster has done over 18 months though.

No, he would have had to run from the side of the pitch where he was to the middle of the pitch

Happy with either.

Not a bad shout, can attack in the lower order and bowls a heavy ball

Unfortunately for Hardie he’s seems to have become increasingly injury prone and heavily managed with his bowling since coming into Aussie set up and inconsistent with his performances.

 

[Firewalker]

You don’t have to always run up the side of the pitch you do get theoretically one chance (warning) to run on the middle of the pitch without being sent out, if you deviate from your original line yes you are out obstructed the field but if you take that original line up the middle of the pitch when you turn around you can get away with it.

You can't

They've tightened that rule

If he'd wheeled around onto the middle of the pitch he would have been given out

 

[Cromulant]

Pretty good tail-end batting here.

Lead up over 300, didn't think that would happen once Marnus got out.

Test cricket at its best.

 

[TubbsFarquhar]

Nice to see our tail holding firm for once. Very gritty from these two.

Lyon used to hang around a bit with the bat in his early days, but this is the first time for a while.

Boland doing well

Boland has two first class centuries, he can bat
