Mitchell Marsh

[revo333]

Those saying he fielded well, He nearly botched both of those catches he took in the second innings!

Anyway I think if we lost the test he was gone but winning has saved him.

I've mostly been in favour of making no changes to a winning team in any sport.

Droppped for Sydney tomorrow.

That's the right call there. It'll be good to see how Webster steps up to Test level and will undoubtedly be able to bowl plenty more overs than Mitch has recently.

He'll be able to concentrate on the shorter forms of the game now too, which is a win for Australia.

 

[The Lobbster]

Average of thirty six for MM for this period. Nine wickets, one century and six fiftys. One Allan Border Medal which is an incredible achievement.

Absolutely the right call to drop him but I’ll never understand the hate for Mitch Marsh. Not his fault he kept getting selected and always gave his all.

The fact he keeps getting selected is the the cause for a big chunk of this hate.

Playing 46 tests to average 28.5 with the bat and 40.5 with the ball is truly diabolical, he's literally one of the worst performing test cricketers of all time.

Dont hate the guy. He made do a career with what best ability he could. I do sense the MCG match may have been his last test match for Australia. He will still be around in the white all formats in the national setup for at least a couple of years.

The Allan Border medal is a medal that rewards consistency across all 3 formats and you have a better chance of winning it, if you play alot of games, to which there were many and at times too many games which didn't have as meaning eg bilateral series .

With him being a father now, his mindset in life will now by different and to me he wasn't a player that could deal with multiple priorities as well when he didn't have them eg captaincy+batting+ bowling at the same time. Having a child (im not a father yet) but am a similar age to him, and I dont know how I'd go about my things in life with added responsibility.

I love WA media man Tim Gossage but sadly I think he is wrong on this one in terms of test cricket.

 

[Cleavy]

"'Mitchy' obviously hasn't quite got the runs, and perhaps wickets this series," Cummins told reporters on Thursday.

"So we felt like it was time for a freshen up and Beau's been great.

"It's a shame for Mitchy, because we know how much he brings to the team, but feel like now it's a good week for Beau to get a chance."

load of rubbish. he's dropped because he's been frigging useless.

efa

Connolly hasnt even taken a first class wicket

 

[toml]

Getting flashbacks to the time Cartwright came in to replace Marsh in Sydney and they bought Mitch back the very next test in India

 

[JackOutback]

Connolly hasnt even taken a first class wicket

Has only bowled 96 balls. Though I don’t think he’s in the frame as an all-rounder. Handy part-time white ball bowler.

Marsh currently ranked Australia's 6th best allrounder... even ranked behind Lyon!

Only 2 spots ahead of an injured Hazlewood

 

[Silver Tongue]

The entire Marsh family have taken the piss their entire careers. A few good innings each and millions in their pockets. I think we've all had enough.

I think Geoff Marsh averaged 23 over 10 Tests against th might of Ambrose, Walsh, Patterson, et.al

Border was obviously the stand out against the WI during that period.

Marsh averaged 33 for his career. So must have got a few against some other sides. But being mates with Border obviously prolonged his career. Border far from happy when G Marsh finally dropped.

nahhh marsh is done in the test arena - unless one of our top 6 get concussed in the next day or so.

by the time marsh goes back to shield cricket and impresses again - green will be back and they would pick a younger player such as a hardie/connolly etc ahead of marsh who'll be 34 before he is even spoken about again.

46 chances at 29/40 - says enough - no more chances !

 

[MisterMarcus]

Webster both top scoring and getting through plenty of overs - unless there's an injury crisis or something, then I think that's it for Mitch in tests....

Still getting mentioned in the test thread, such is the popularity of the Bison
