True. But it's very hard to get dropped from this team. And which one of Marsh or Head would you ditch?I mean, it's not like incumbents have set the world alight of the last few games...
Did they win it?I mean, Aamir Jamal really started this, the batting looked very shaky then
Marsh. Harsh but with Green bedded down his role is the most replaceable and I just don't think he's the guy long term.True. But it's very hard to ge dropped from team. And which one of Marsh or Head would you ditch?
I've thought it's looked brittle for at least a couple of years, which is why it was extremely surprising to me just how badly South Africa did.I mean, Aamir Jamal really started this, the batting looked very shaky then
It's weird that people don't talk about the peak marnus levels of luck marsh got during the ashes and pakistan series, NGL. Don't remember the numbers, but i'm pretty sure he was getting more reprieves per dismissal then marnus was at his luckiest.Marsh. Harsh but with Green bedded down his role is the most replaceable and I just don't think he's the guy long term.
Having said that, if Head keeps on his current run, he shouldn't complain too much if he misses out after a failure or two against India in November
Yeah that really should hang over their heads as an asterisk (except from Nortje); they were absolutely putridI've thought it's looked brittle for at least a couple of years, which is why it was extremely surprising to me just how badly South Africa did.
Surely both Marsh and Head have done a lot more than Lab in recent times, without even factoring in their useful bowling.Marsh. Harsh but with Green bedded down his role is the most replaceable and I just don't think he's the guy long term.

I'm not dropping the guy with a dozen Test match hundreds for a bloke who averages 30, come on now. This is recent form bias at its worstSurely Marsh has done a lot more than Lab in recent times, without even factoring in his useful bowling.
Sometimes I've wondered if we could use Head as a BazBall opener a la Duckett. Fact is I don't think his ceiling's actually that high. After 160 First Class matches he only averages just over 40, and his test average is now just over 42. With Pucovski all but officially invalided out we're going to be really hard up for openers soon. Not sure how much longer Khawaja will last.Marsh.
