Not a disastrous move to bring Marsh in like some people are claiming. It's good cover for a Starc off-day plus it lessens Cummins workload, even if he's fit and raring to go, which I assume he is. I would've played the extra batsmen (Wade for Patterson) but this is acceptable if not ideal imo.

What absolutely sucks is Head getting dropped instead of Wade.

Marsh means less left-handers for Broad
left-handers 14 at 13.50
right-handers 5 at 63.40
Think that's reading too far into it, if Marsh was a left-hander who bowls how he does, he'd still likely have played. I think they want the bowling more than they want to minimise Stuart Broad

Wade has great chat at short leg. Head just sits back in gully/midwicket looking like a boring **** and I'm sure most of the alphas in the team don't rate him

I reckon Lab will end up with 100 test wickets

Think we'll use him as a full time bowler in Asia

And hel get a good crack with the ball at the SCG each summer

If you actually take this alpha/beta shite seriously then you are clearly a terminal moron. Horrific posting, that garbage needs to **** off back to 8chan where it belongs

I see so many in the forum against the selection of Marsh. I say he will get either a fifty or take 3 wickets in an innings this test. Anybody up for an avatar bet?
