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

[SillyCowCorner1]

Bang! Hit him


Rub it Smithy

 

[Flem274*]

Seriously though he does get out in some extremely lazy looking ways sometimes. Not sure what it is about him.

pretty left handers dismissals always look worse to me for some reason

how many ozzie posters are torn between wanting a solid lead and wanting to be right about mitch marsh?

I know which I'd take the latter

I’ve got him tonning up today. Rapidly.

Imagine a few are. I at least saw the logic though

 

[NUFAN]

another instance of fake fielding. not sure why the umps dont enforce it.

Mitch Marsh averaging 22 after 21 tests is pretty embarrassing. Cue a hundred.

Hahaha. Cummins more likely to hit a ton.

We have Smith, I'm not torn at all about it.

Perhaps they realise it's a stupid rule.

I'd absolutely love for him to come good with the bat and cement his place at 6. I just can't see it happening.

 

[stephen]

All of the non-Smith Australian batsmen must feel so inadequate.

 

[stephen]

Also I don't think Smith quite understands how his team mates get out so easily.

 

[Burgey]

All of the non-Smith batsmen who aren’t Bradman must feel so inadequate.

Indeed

He really is on another plane isn't he?

 

[Spark]

:face:

When he got the ton in Brisbane and started yelling at his team mates I imagined him saying "see it's not that hard, what are all you idiots doing".

 

[Burgey]

Marsh needs to back himself here. He’ll just nick off if he pokes and prods.

 

[Starfighter]

I love it when a forward push doesn't go for four.

Also Marsh look's like he's holding a toothpick rather than a bat. That exaggerated defensive squat though...

 

[Cabinet96]

Wonder if Boycott rates Mitch Marsh.

Edit: Though maybe tempting fate a bit to call him a bowler who can bat when Smith is at the other end.

Steve smith is ridiculous, no idea what to say. Was already great last time I had a proper look at him and he's just come on so much- right now englands plan is just give him singles and try and work the other batsmen (i.e. Giving up). The best I'd ever seen were Lara, ponting and tendulkar- smith looks a cut above to be honest.
