Marsh?
Long long home season
It's very easy to be hard on your team when they lose. I believe Australia were very good this series, that Handscomb-Marsh partnership was one of my favourites this series.
They took some blinders at slip and close in generally but dropping both Pujara and Rahane in that second test was costly, apart from one or 2 drops this test. That and Darsh getting out at the end of day 2 was bigger than we knew then, it meant they didn't drive home the advantage that they should've. I couldn't see this match right from Lunch of day 1 and since then it's gone pretty pear shaped for the Aussies, maybe I am to blame.
Drops aren't all created equal tbf. Nair dropping Warner turned out not to matter much at all, but Renshaw dropping Saha was absolutely huge. Imagine this game if Aus get a 50 run lead, given how the tail folded after Jadeja got out.
Darsh levels of Stoner thereBhuvi fits the stoner nickname far better than anyone else.
Yeah those two Renshaw drops were absolutely massive. Especially when you look at how India collapsed after the Saha-Jadeja partnership. Australia could've had a very sizeable lead and set India 220+. That would've been sooooo different.
Shared Warne hatred during the first test and shared kohli hatred since the second. Good stuff.
I missed most of this, how does it compare to the 2008 series thread? That was a beaut.
