Ashes 2015, Third Test - England v Australia - Day 2, Edgbaston, Birmingham

[LukeParkerno1]

Anyone see similarities between Mitch Marsh and Ben Stokes?

Big strapping lads who are regarded as 'all rounders' despite the bowling side of things leaving a lot to be desired?

Marsh was very unlucky with the ball could easily have had 2-3 wickets

If this is what it takes for Clarke to retire then so be it.

Who do we bring in for the next test then?

Out; Clarke, Voges, M.Marsh

In; Haddin, S.Marsh, Watson

Marsh lacks any sort of penetration in his bowling. Ditto Stokes

 

[Spitta09]

Probably leave Voges. Would rather bring Burns in personally. Starc out for Cummins or Siddle too

People have a short memory of Siddle. He was woeful like Haddin for over 12 months. He'll be more economical then Starc but their will just as much pressure on haze and Johnson.

He was, but he has bowled well in recent tour games. But in saying that, the county teams are not as good as what they need to be. I think it is div 2, so perhaps stick with Starc, but when the series is on the line you can not leave the decision too late.

I've bagged Siddle in the past but at least he is a test bowler, albeit a slow one. Starc needs to take some time out of the team to develop his technique.
Siddle for Starc
S Marsh for Voges.

Burns is in India.

Bowling line up has been alright

The allrounder died after the retirement of Kallis.

 

[G Mus]

Interesting for Cook to go against Stokes

 

[Dagless]

Does anyone believe they will ever make the whole sale changes needed for the team?

Stokes with the youthful over exuberance....

[Spitta09]

Mitch Marsh isn't a bad bowler.

 

[ChampRevesby]

Shitest reviews in a while, Watto would be proud.

 

[Magma]

well they wasted their reviews small victories WHY ISNT IT RAINING YET

 

[royboy2]

Geez we Watson'd that review

 

[ChampRevesby]

* off Stoke you are being carried.

 

[Andronicus]

England do this crazy thing when they bowl where they don't get dangerously close to the line.

Don't they know how boring that makes the front foot review?

 

[freddy mercury]

Why do we only have one specialist batsmen in the squad? How stupid.

Don't think it's as good as it's made out to be
