    Really rate Cummins as a batsman. The ability to play defensively but still put away a loose ball like that is so rare for a non-specialist.

    Why would you change anything? Last 10 overs have gone for 9 runs, Australia are going nowhere.

    Yeah, I guess I'm just thinking he could possibly hit a few boundaries and open the game up. Just feels like he's going nowhere and will get out soon like this. But if he can hang around that would be preferable.

    I dunno if Wade should go for it here or just try and stay in until Cummins gets out at least. I can't see Lyon and Haze lasting long here.

    Well yeah I know, but he wasn't hit outside the line according to the replay. Would have been out regardless of the third umpire's call. Might have impacted the on field call though as others have said.

    What difference does it make if he played a shot? Am I missing something?

    Bit unfortunate there, but it really did feel like it was coming. Need to find a way to get another 50 runs here to at least have some chance.

    On par with the Warne fan losing his **** when he got out for 99.

    Hahaha that guy in the background when the ball went into the rope. ****ing gold.

    Really does just feel like a matter of time here.

    Any 100+ chase will be a challenge, but I certainly wouldn't be comfortable with any target under 200. Ball is doing plenty out there but we've already seen two 50+ partnerships today. It's not impossible to bat and all you need is a decent start and a 120 chase or whatever is basically done.

    Yeah you're probably right. I was just trying to be as charitable as possible to the anti-Marsh PoV, which is to assume the best possible replacement would have come in. Why the crowbar anyway? Why not shoot him or fire him out of a cannon?

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    The problem with this logic is that easy runs also actually matter. Those performances win games too. Marsh did well second innings in Ranchi for example but if he'd made more than 2 in the first innings maybe Australia would have made 500+ the game would have been different. More pressure on...

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    Yeah, you have to look at him as a direct exchange for the most likely replacement. In Pune and Bangalore, that was Maxwell. Hard to say there since Maxwell has done well but didn't have to play on those pitches. After that it's Khawaja. I think Marsh was clearly the right call and his series...

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    Well, that should just about be the game. So much bounce there to Marsh, tough one to keep down. Certainly not a great innings from Handscomb but he has at least ensured that India should have to chase 3 figures in the last innings by being part of a 50 partnership there. Won't look that big on...

    Damn. That was almost unplayable I think. Just natural variation. Terrific catch.

    Haha, Maxwell had no idea about that one.

    ***Official*** Australia in India 2017

    Yeah guess that's true. First innings in Pune wasn't too bad either and he didn't make a big score there. But I do feel like he made contributions in both those innings due to batting time even if he didn't make a lot of runs. Overall point is just that nobody has really had a good series other...
