Mitchell Marsh

[Art Vandelay_]

Useless again.

 

[Iceman!]

Please just kick him out so some of us can try and remember some of his enjoyable moments.

Spud. Contributes close to zero. In the best interests of the series he should drop himself as George is way to gutless to.

I think it’s Cummins when it comes to Marsh. They’re besties

He’s gotta go. If Sydney is likely to be a turner, I’d consider batting McSweeney at 6 and giving him a bowl- he’s not a bad spin bowler.

Webster can also bowl some spin, so probably holds him off.

 

[Belnakor]

He’s done. Amazing we thought a guy who averaged 30 over so many tests would suddenly get better. I guess he was only ever holding a spot for green but it’s still disappointing.

Should be able to like this post twice

I have read from a few saying he has had a great career. He hasn't, he has played some good innings from time to time but given how many chances he has had its been a fairly average career.

Webster has to.come in for the Sydney test.

If Mitch Marsh had any surname apart from Marsh, he would have already been dropped.

A batting all rounder, who has barely bowled all series, despite us losing a pace bowler to an injury in the last Test, and who averages sub 30 with the bat.

Both his father and brother were also afforded far more opportunities than their records deserved. Clear proof that the boys club that controls cricket in this country protect their own, even if it costs the team games.

There is about a 2% chance he should be selected for the 5th Test, but he probably will and he will score an inconsquential 50/100 and it will be used as justification to keep him in the team all the way up to next year's Ashes series no matter how pathetic his record is in the lead up to the series.

And the scary thing is , I don’t think he will dominate Shield cricket if he has to work his way back. I feel like the drop in speed of his seamers has made him only a batting option. There are better number 6s going around and allrounders.

Heck, he could come out today and snag 2 wickets and book his spot for Sydney.

So you're saying he's a lock for the next Ashes?

Definitely. The second greatest all rounder in Ashes history*



*Minimum 15 wickets taken

Good catching today but still needs to go.

I think he will keep his spot. Bowling was a little better. Just needs some runs.

Tom Morris on twitter said he could hold his head high...

I'm expecting he will get selected for the final test.

I would still drop him but winning today probably lets him finish the series.

He's completely out of form and not fully fit (bowling 120 km/h seamers - I mean, really?)
.
His contributions were vital last season, but he nowadays just prods at the ball when he's not hoicking across the line. No wonder Bumrah has used him as target practice.

I doubt Webster will set the world on fire either, but unless Mitch is some Brearley-like talismanic force, he couldn't possibly contribute less.

Its a mates club at Cricket Australia. He will play on Friday. Beau Webster might be a nice guy but Pat and Mitch are the best of mates.

And im one of Mitch Marsh biggest detractors.

You'd think they'd just make him 12th man, then.

Why would they do that? He can barely run with his seamers at 120 km/hour. Why would they want him to bring out drinks and run him more?

Could the selectors go with mcsweeney at 6 over Webster? Mcsweeney actually has a better FC bowling average and strike rate. I think having stronger batting at 6 is more important for this current team. I was impressed with mcsweeney’s ability to survive for long difficult periods and I think with increased confidence over time and batting down the order he’ll find it easier to score
