35 test average vs 27. Shaun will be kept for 'experience' and he does have talent but by god that shot was terrible. How could you watch India's first innings then be tempted by a ball so wide after facing just 18 deliveries?Imagine if Shaun Marsh is dropped for Mitch Marsh
he's just a nervous starter!!!
Marsh is the definition of a player who is too good for Shield but not good enough for test cricket
Cummins. He'll be the new Australian test poster boy by the end of the summer.My prediction, this innings is going to go the same way as our innings back in Clarke's heyday. Khawaja to score a big double ton and a random bowler will stick around to get 60 while the rest of the lineup flop.
but michael hussey was also a nervous starter. ergo, hussey = smarshHe should have been never selected again after the UAE.
Not sure that he is that good. His Shield record is not that great.
Should have tonked it to the rope. Worst Australian batting line-up I've seen in 40 years.
Well, he did make 123 doing it. I'm sure similar plaudits will be forthcoming if Khawaja does similar.Everyone lauded Pujara for the exact same style of knock
Sadly is good by contemporary standards. Was a good segment in the break where Ponting, Brayshaw and Slater were talking about how we used to have guys averaging well over 50 in FC who couldn't get a Test, now averaging mid to high 30's gets you on the selection radar.Not sure that he is that good. His Shield record is not that great.
Shaun Marsh last 6 test matches:
24,1
26,0
16, 7
7, 0
3, 4
2
90 runs @ 8.18
What more does he have to do to be dropped?
Well, he did make 123 doing it. I'm sure similar plaudits will be forthcoming if Khawaja does similar.
I am a little skeptical of his ability to do so, though. Historically, Khawaja has had a slight habit of imploding when a spinner gets him pinned down. If he conquers that problem, nobody will be more pleased than I.
