**Official** 1st Test @ Perth, 22nd-26th November

What is there to discuss?
Despite his recent form, he's still THE batsman that India would be looking to get quickly. So was surprised that there was literally no discussion around his wicket.

But I get it that it's become quite a common mode of dismissal for him now. Reminiscent of Ponting at the fag end of his career.

Why is Marsh playing for so long, he is a rubbish test batsman. Still a better test crickter than his specialist wk dad but at max should make 30.

Wickets are tumbling not because key batsmen in both sides are now in serious decline but because ‘the ball seams more these days.’

Siraj hasn't looked likely to take a wicket in test matches for quite some time now. It would be great for the series if Shami could somehow make it.

The ball is seaming more than the general average this Test though. 0.8 to 0.5 degrees, and the more it seams the more batting averages drop.

Whatever it takes!!!
Test bowlers are known to be scum. Look at Imran being arrested, Warne being Warne, Glenn McGrath slaughtering African wildlife, Nathan Lyon not going to Ashley and Martin.
The wickets that season were not vastly different to the ones in the Ashes the year before. Mitch was just bitch slapped to retirement by Virat and Jinks.
