***Official*** 3rd Test at the WACA

[stephen]

This is honestly why the best catching sides usually win on bouncy wickets. We've dropped 3 catches and they've cost us dearly.

 

[morgieb]

Highest English partnership in Australia since Brisbane 2010. Fantastic effort.

Surprised it's higher than partnerships in the rest of that series.

 

[Starfighter]

Marsh grips the ball very deep, especially for someone who doesn't exactly have small hands. Starc also to a lesser extent.

 

[stephen]

Big hundreds are what England have been missing so far on this tour. They're on track for two here.

 

[stephen]

So much bounce.

 

[Starfighter]

I would be be surprised if Warner doesn't do major damage here. Smith also.

 

[Cabinet96]

Surprised it's higher than partnerships in the rest of that series.

Yeah I was surprised. Must've been a lot in the 100-170 mark.

 

[stephen]

What figures does Marsh need to take to justify his selection?

 

[Starfighter]

Nice Barstool.

 

[Cabinet96]

Great knock.

 

[morgieb]

Well batted YJB.

 

[Spikey]

headbutt someone ****

 

[stephen]

Well batted Bairstow. Great innings.

 

[Burgey]

Good knock that. England right on top now, they've absorbed some really good spells of bowling so far then cashed in.

This, though, is filth from MMarsh.

 

[Starfighter]

What figures does Marsh need to take to justify his selection?

6/89 in this innings, 7/27 the next and an unbeaten ton.

 

[stephen]

One more over of this rubbish and I have to get back to work.

 

[Daemon]

Regardless of how he's bowling, I think the selectors were right to pick MMarsh. They really needed a 5th bowler here and I doubt Maxy is up to that.

 

[Cabinet96]

Proper junk bowling by Marsh this spell (was asleep for most of his overs last night).

 

[Burgey]

headbutt someone ****

Headbutted his helmet there, in a touching tribute.

It's been really good cricket by the English.
