Pipe down ****s. Its the same guy from my link. I beat you all.

So Smith isn't slowing down.

Would giving the visiting team a raging turner for the practice match followed by normal tracks for the tests **** with their heads?

Don't think you need to be that smart tbh. Produce a road and then spend the whole match talking about how much it turns.

Remember the last Ashes series?

THESE PITCHES ARE UNREASONABLY HARD TO BAT ON.
THESE PITCHES ARE UNREASONABLY EASY TO BAT ON.

IT'S. NOT. FAIR.

Warner miscuing a pull eh.

I'll actually go to the hospital to get my stomach pumped of all the poison if Warner gets out once this series to that dinky shovel half-pull he practiced with such glee in 2015.

Trying to slide in a righthander in to top 3 i think

 

[Spikey]

when I first wrote that post i had it as "smith at 3 the biggest news" or something, because yeah, it does just that to me.

Good to hear Smith batting in a floppy.

Do people still do this.. floppy hats definitely need to make a comeback.

Surely now the selectors are gonna go with Warner, Renshaw, Smith, Marsh, and Handscomb as the top 5?

Australia just look so much more likely to get a decent result in India with SMarsh replacing Khawaja.

Looks pretty set. Khawaja being dropped for these conditions is 100% the right call.

Yeah it's a no-brainer.

People can point to his form and his batting average all they like, but you only need to watch a couple of deliveries to know that Khawaja vs Spin only has one winner.

 

[Compton]

I'm assuming Cricinfo have their wires crossed, and Australia aren't considering Jackson Bird at 6?

I know Mitch Marsh was a bowling all-rounder, but this is getting out of hand...

 

[honestbharani]

Think it should be Marsh.. coz their report said Haze is not playing and the two seamers were Bird and Mitch Marsh.

 

[stephen]

Is Saini as good as his stats suggest? Have India finally found a decent fast bowler?

 

[OverratedSanity]

Mitch Marsh was one of the few Aussies who wasn't a disgrace in the SL tour. He had a pretty good innings in uae vs Yasir and Co in uae too. I'd play him for sure.

Warner
Renshaw
Marsh
Smith
Habdscomb
Marsh
Keeper

Atleast on paper, that's not a bad lineup vs spin at all.
