Test The Ashes Fifth Test January 4-8 1000hrs @ The SCG

[Jimthegreat]

Just no need to pick Green ahead of one of the 2 bowlers. Just no need!

When does Bailey resign. Not a selectors arseh*le.

 

[TasSixer]

Good spell Green

 

[Kennedy Parker]

Gee at least when Mitch Marsh came on for his spells he was able to keep things generally tight and economical

 

[eddiesmith]

Australia’s session and yet still they needed to bowl the part timer before lunch due to their strange selection choice to pick 6 batsmen, keeper and just the 3 bowlers.

 

[Young Redleg]

Green is a total waste of selection atm

 

[madmug]

4 overs of shyte from Green. Absolute dross to Root & Brooks. What is the matter with him??

 

[Dixie Flatline]

Duckett threw his wicket away. Crawley and Bethel got good balls.

 

[fuic08]

Green is such a charity selection

 

[satty]

Hey smith, just ask the umpires to add 50-60 runs to England's total and spare us the sight of watching green bowl 4-5 overs and give those runs anyway.

 

[Plugger35]

It looked like Australia's session at 3 for 57 but it is back even now at 3 for 114 after England doubled their score for no wickets.

 

[SSSSSS]

Green needs to go. Needs to find some form because he's shithouse at the moment.

 

[TennisPlayerAndy]

Greens played 40 tests.

He’s not good enough.

 

[The King!]

I don't get the reluctance to pick and use Murphy , perfect chance to develop a spinner. Why bother having Webster bat 8 or even Green 7- either bat 6 or F off imo.

Webster in is good but bet he barely gets a chance.

Green should be out

 

[Dazza the Viking]

The OOs feasting on Eva Green, which one is OO7

Puts so much pressure on Starc and Boland who have played all tests this series.Not playing a spinner could end up hurting us.

 

[The Blue Max]

Our bowling aggression has pancaked since Green came on to bowl - he’s not even adding lemon juice and sugar.

 

[satty]

Australia are going to have a long layoff from test matches aren't they?

 

[ams4crows]

Mitch Marsh at his worse was still way better than Green

Hopefully Webster bowls spin.

 

[The King!]

I think Green can be a good test player they aren't doing him any favours picking him out of form or shuffling him around

 

[greatwhiteshark]

Duckett threw his wicket away. Crawley and Bethel got good balls.

Crawley missed a gun barrel straight ball playing across the line as usual. Terrible batting

Murphy would have been carted by England. He's not good enough to bowl on Australian wickets.

On ABC, they noted that Smith probably faced Murphy in the nets and decided that Murphy couldn't get him out, so he shouldn't be selected.

Once Lyon gives it away, we are going to cycle through a number of spinners like we did post Warne.

 

[danielnajdek]

Gonna be a batting belter after lunch. Is already looking easier for the Poms.

Going to be a highway on day 2 and 3.

 

[peternorth]

Do you think both teams have been instructed to ensure the test goes to the third day to maximise the jane mcgrath day?

 

[Young Redleg]

In hindsight it's amazing how much shit Watson used to cop considering the output we've gotten from Mitch Marsh and Green
