International 12th Man
Marsh channelling his inner Jonny now.
SpinHenry needs a rest. Unfortunately that means....
Just a third man to both would be great at this pointA third man/fly slip is a legit attacking option against Marsh imo. The guy regularly opts to just throw the kitchen sink at those kind of balls outside off and it goes over the cordon so often.
Yeah I'm not celebrating a win just yet, we are still capable of blowing this with Marsh and Head both capable of playing counter attacking knocks.Daily reminder this is the exact situation England BazBalled their way out of in our 3-0 loss there 3-4 times.
Pakistan really should have won at least one test this summer. They had good positions at both Sydney and Melbourne but poor fielding and disgracefully irresponsible batting cost them. I know you can credit our bowling quite a bit as they are relentless when the batsmen cede the initiative, but Pakistan's reputation exists for a reason and I feel like they'd have done the same against 38-year-old Siddle. Overall I think this home season's results were unduly flattering to this Australian team.Honestly Marsh and Green are the only 2 guys I'm backing atm. Smith probably has done enough too taking into account the 90*.
Think it's getting clear that the writing is on the wall for this batting line-up. They were lucky to get through this summer with just the 1 loss to WI IMO.
Khawaja's renaissance was fun but always had a short expiry. Looking like he's reached it, even when he scratches out a 40 it's been real hard work.
Phillips (you'd hope)Henry needs a rest. Unfortunately that means....
