Put the P back into partnership #batting Voges and Marsh running hard for each other and supporting all day @CricketAus #300

Hmm, not too displeased about missing this, then.

 

[NUFAN]

Thanks Haydos, for a while there I thought I was watching an artnership.

 

[ajdude]

rubbish point. you're trying to build your best side, not piss about for a series.

ehh they went all funky in the 2012/13 Sri Lanka series where Starc was rested for Boxing Day and everyone bitched about the rotation policy. meanwhile Bird killed it in Melbourne so they couldn't drop him yet they had to bring back Starc so they just made Johnson bat at 7 in Sydney to make everyone happy

wait does anyone remember why Watson missed the Sydney fest

injured bowling iirc. so he didn't bowl in india.

I don't think their bowling needs six specialist batsmen to counter either though. Australia could very likely win with ten players. No reason to change the balance here.

Should just pick 10 and the masseur guy as non-bowling number 11.

 

[TheJediBrah]

eh they did just as well as NZ did on their first day of Test cricket this summer

No wonder Marsh and Voges dominated, big partnership on a road at a place noone wants to go watch cricket. Feels just like home.

 

[Spikey]

the opening artnership for the Windies will be important. They really need to put the P in it

Hahahaha,

Not enough has been made out of that incident. Ludicrous that he was out there was desperate for him to get a catch,

If Australia improve further and have players to burn they can have the masseur at number 11 and can open the batting with the team psychologist. He of course will be given a free license to play his shots, naturally.

Generally expect more P in the WI team anyway.

 

[Gnske]

Speaking of which, looking forward a triple of ducks from Chandrika tomorrow.

Potentially controversial opinon but I don't think Shaun Marsh scoring keeps Khawaja out of the side once he's fit. Would rather take the media heat from dropping a guy after scoring a ton and drop SMarsh/retain MMarsh to include Khawaja and keep Burns.

 

[dfrinku]

What exactly was the reasoning for not taking the new ball? Or were they just too far behind the over rates to bowl the quicks?

 

[Midwinter]

FMD Australia's going to score 450 plus today. Already feel sorry for Holder. Poor kid. This is trash bowling at its worst

Almost

 

[Midwinter]

Any reason why the umpires are now calling no-balls ?

Has all the fuss made during the year paid off about not calling them ?

or are they that obvious that they cant be missed ?

Pick 10 and auction off the non-bowling #11 spot to the highest bidder for charity IMO. Could save the world.
