Mitch Marsh :

Seriously.

 

[brigadiertiger]

So long as Australia persist with playing Marsh’s and an opener who is not an opener then long should they be beaten. The first Australian team to lose a series at home against India.

 

[Tommy H]

What a Jellyfish performance so far. Probably the worst lineup to wear the baggy green for 30+ years in terms of batting performances.

 

[Ridley]

That really is shitful Australia.

 

[tigertim]

India batting again. Don’t think they need to, it’s just going to eat up more game time.

Give their bowlers a rest and make ours work before Sydney.

Expect the pitch to flatten back out now that India are batting

 

[Tommy H]

I think India have made a mistake. Could of called the follow on and won the match and series here in Melbourne.

India 5/47, this is why i love test cricket. The true believers will be loving this.

 

[jb03]

Nothing wrong with the pitch

Still need to set a record to win, but there should be enough time. Welcome psychological boost for the team.

It's a better test pitch to last years. Not that the whinging, whining Jim Maxwell would agree, if had his way there would never be another test at the MCG.

As much as i'd like us to win, i don't think we are any chance, the Indians bowlers are very good.

 

[MD Jazz]

Draw guaranteed?

It’s why I don’t bet. If I declare something do the opposite.

Reckon the wicket hasn’t had much to do with the dismissals.

Losing Days, is that you?

 

[tigertim]

Too little too late from the Aussies, sorta like the side thats down by 10 goals at 3/4 time but then comes home with a 7 kr 8 goal last quarter.

 

[tigerman]

Matthew Wade is the in form batsmen this summer, has scored runs in all formats
He has 2 test centuries to his name, should he be considered for test selection as a batsmen?
Under Langer's selection criteria, he should come under serious consideration.

 

[lukeanddad]

Nothing wrong with the pitch

7 wickets at less than 2.5/over for two days was incredibly tedious. The pitch may be ok but it didn’t do the 77k fans any favors.

 

[LeeToRainesToRoach]

Cummins is a chance to get nine here.

 

[jb03]

Good declaration. Steve Waugh would have batted until they were 600 in front if they could.

Losing Days, is that you?

He is still basking in his call that Cummins is no good.
