Australia v India, 3rd Test at the MCG Dec 26-30

[Neese]

Ugh, this is embarrassing now

 

[Kuuz]

Aaaaaaaand that, Selection Committee, is what you get when you pick with your gut. Gutless.

 

[danielnajdek]

Play straight you idiot.

 

[swanssince2002]

Feels like Basketball is also growing as a game here... similar to the West Indies. Helps that Australian players are making their way into the NBA. Feels like we could end up like the West Indies did.

 

[SSwans2011]

Langer interview about selection process right now pls

 

[Chism]

At least Handscombe could catch.

 

[Whiskers]

Do wickets fall this often in Big Bash?

It’s no different than a T20 collapse.
If you bat well in the short format you do better than this.

 

[Lebbo73]

Absolutely a road, only possible result is a draw!

Good call. I love it when people jump the gun!

 

[Torz]

You can't let the ball land that full into a foot mark. Needed to be forward there.

 

[Plugger35]

Now the real batting line up starts.

 

[PT Bar None]

Do wickets fall this often in Big Bash?

Yep

 

[Gough]

At least that's the tail done with now. The real batsmen are coming in.

 

[nobbyiscool]

Fox should do away with the commentary competition, what we really need now is "so you think you can bat" - we'd surely uncover better talent than what we have now.

 

[eDPS]

Can we go the tonk now?

 

[Curtain Razor]

Marsh was shit, but has had a lot of friends today.

 

[Dixie Flatline]

If I were Kohli, I wouldn't enforce the follow on. Back to back Tests and it is hot and humid out there. Bowlers can put their feet up, the batsmen get the lead above 500 and then grind Australia into the dirt.

 

[Gavin Excell]

9 runs from Marsh was probably what was expected from him

Only the selectors and the brown nosed gnome thought otherwise

 

[Del165198]

This Marsh experiment needs to end now

Is it really an experiment at this stage?

More of a long term clinical trial

Unfortunately producing some horrific side effects

 

[iluvparis]

"kids dun care" is a total cop-out.

All I'll say is that if it is going to take a Roman style decimation of some primary school kids to turn this ship around I am totally ok with it....

...also M Marsh #naturalgame

 

[rippersnipper]

Would be amazing if the selectors could pick competent batsmen for a change. Absolutely ridiculous at the moment. Half of them are rubbish at FC level

 

[BACCS]

Should’ve done a lot better with that. It’s not Mitch’s fault though the selectors keep picking him.

Well on the way.
Run a junior basketball club myself, and trust me, Basketball at grassroots level is booming.

 

[Torz]

Bring back cricket superstar.

 

[Kuuz]

Well played National Selection Committee, Trevor Hohns, Mark Waugh, Justin Langer and Greg Chappell, you played yourself with that selection.

Jesus christ wtf was that "technique" from MMarsh.

Can we just boot both Marsh brothers and be done with this awful period of selection based more on nepotism and bias than actual state performance.

 

[Adelaide Hawk]

Yep

Geez, the scorers must have writer's cramp by the end of the match.
