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

[NotMcKenzie]

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

Knowing our selectors, 0/125, 1/90, and 5 and 6 with the bat.

too late. they said the stats showed they needed a 5th bowler (or some rubbish) which means Marsh's performance, good or bad, doesn't matter. they've already justified it to themselves

 

[_Ed_]

One of the best innings I've seen Bairstow play. Good on him.

 

[Burgey]

Marsh is getting some real late swing (after the ball is past the bat).

Not ike him to do something at a superfluous moment.

It's true though. If you go all in pre flop with A,A then lose to a 3,8, it's still a good selection

 

[quincywagstaff]

Already England’s highest innings score in Oz since Sydney 10/11.

Nah, this was the selectors holding their aces against the 3,8 when the flop came up triple 8s.

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Nothing like breaking the records of better batsmen to make one feel proud of the WACA.

 

[3703]

Annoys me how many records have fallen because modern wickets are so much more benign than they were when those older matches were being played.

 

[mintykip]

England to be all out for 260 and won't be able to take 10 first innings wickets. Will quote this in a couple of days.

I live being proved wrong and exposing myself as the **** cricket analyst that I am. But I am genuinely happy I'm wrong this time.

 

[Starfighter]

The second part could still easily happen.

 

[Spikey]

god that analysis sucked

 

[Daemon]

They're still not showing good technique against Lyon off the backfoot, just getting away with it because of the pitch. Used their feet well though.

 

[_Ed_]

god that analysis sucked

I have commentary disabled, but for some reason I still got that bit. Not impressed.

 

[mintykip]

The pessimism was pumping through my veins after the first two tests and I let it all rush to my head.

 

[Burgey]

**** that’s a good catch

 

[NotMcKenzie]

Mawan goes oddly

 

[OverratedSanity]

Malan looking pretty uncomfortable here

Edit: And gone. Good knock but he looked oddly skittish against Lyon that over.

 

[Starfighter]

That wasn't too brilliant from Malan.

 

[_Ed_]

Top catch.
