What do Indian fans think of Siraj’s development of late? Haven’t seen much of him between this series and the last one out here but I had him pegged as a potential great. Decks weren’t great for quicks in the test series, but has he been reading a bit of his own press? He seems to have a lot of swag but not bowling as well as he was say 18 months ago to me

I honestly love him to bits, he's a great competitor and he's almost certainly a captain's dream in that he's willing to do anything the captain requires whenever needed.

But I honestly think he might just not be talented enough to really be more than what he's shown.

MMarsh is gonna kill a fielder in a LO game one day.

Or a spectator with shots like that.

Insane raw power

Him opening in the WC with Head on slower decks isn’t a bad shout at all really. If he could bowl a few overs it would be a bonus

I mean it won't make a difference in this game but I don't really know what India have seen to think that banging it in is the way to go here

His seam position for the inswinger is the best it's looked in years. He seemed to lose it when he altered his action around '18 or so.
Yeah the Starc inswinger was frankly a myth for a while there, but it's come back with a vengeance in the last six months.

Imagine being asked to field at short leg in a one dayer with this **** on strike. Just no ****ing way.

He's been a bit up and down, yeah. Won us a test in England with a brilliant spell, but he's had a few dry games too. Personally hoping he'll benefit from the extra responsibility in some of the upcoming overseas tours now that Bumrah is out.

Never mind short leg, I probably wouldn't be thrilled if I was posted at square leg with MMarsh in this mood
ridiculous how strong he is. Warner who? Honestly is Warner at the fag end of his career likely to do any better in a WC in India than Marsh as opener?

I don't want to write Warner off because honestly he was excellent in ODIs last year, but yeah if this WC is going to be defined by 350 vs 350 scores then you want this sort of power at the top of the order.

This honestly reminds me of Watson at his absolute pomp, just bombing it in into the crowd at will

Is there a case for Mitch Marsh opening with Khawaja for the ashes? In this sort of form he could atleast hit some quick runs. Warner would be out for a couple of runs v Broad
