What, you not excited by Shaun Marsh?Schmuttt is right. It's all a bit lacklustre at the moment in terms of watching stars. Smith is a gun obviously, but in the absence of him the Australian team would be decidedly meh at present.
Them feels when you pot Marsh to fail and he goes and gets Man of the Match to spite you.if Marsh fails?
when.
Mitchell Marsh is in the squad. I know he scored a hundred for WA but surely it takes more than one good innings to make the side? Especially since his test career has been very underwhelming so far. Maxwell was on the cusp of selection for the first test & since then has scored a mountain of runs. Can't understand why he isn't next cab of the rank if they are going to drop Handscomb.
I understand they would like a 5th bowler but they might as well pick a specialist bowler & bat Paine at 6 instead of picking Marsh. I know it makes the tail long but Marsh isn't good enough to bat in the top 6 (Test Avg 21) & not good enough to be picked as a specialist bowler. (Test Avg 37)
If your last name is Marsh, it takes much, much less than that.Mitchell Marsh is in the squad. I know he scored a hundred for WA but surely it takes more than one good innings to make the side?
True!If your last name is Marsh, it takes much, much less than that.
Perhaps because their unrelenting faith in Shaun Marsh finally paid off last test, they want to go for the quinella.
Injuries have played a part ... but they arent the full story, he's also failed regularly, made more frustrating by the fact that his talent is plain to see, as evidenced by the last few tests. Hopefully he continues his form, and doesn't break his body.True!
Although, I have always liked Shaun Marsh and feel he wasn't the worst choice of the 'interesting' selections.
I don't just say it in hindsight after he's played reasonably well in the first 2 tests but for everyone saying he's having his 9th crack at it - that's because he was often injured, not through lack of form.
Is a beautiful bat, just battles to keep his body right.
Mitch Marsh on the other hand is an average bat and an average bowler - the 2 together don't make him a good option, it's laughable.
Not sure why everyone is so surprised at the Mitch marsh selection
Mark Waugh said after the Gabba test ideally we need a medium pace all rounder to ease the workload of the 3 quicks.
Rightly or wrongly he has been picked and will probably play, I don’t see any other medium-fast all rounders doing more than marsh atm.
Maybe Maxy should bowl seamers along with his offies Colin miller style
I don't see why we need a mediocre medium paced 5th bowler for any test in Australia right now. Sydney you might go an extra if you want two specialist spinners. But really unless we are playing a very good team, it seems unnecessary. First two tests I didn't see anyone getting tired. He would weaken the batting, which I think is more important at the moment.
When things are going well, we don't need the extra bowler, but surely the Poms will actually knuckle down and put a score on at some stage. We barely have a part timer in the team. If we have an injury or a long day in the field, it'll be tough to come back from due to the workload the quicks will have to carry.
Not sure Marsh is the answer, but we should be trying to fit someone in. Surprised Handscomb is the one but he has been nigh on terrible this series. Shame too as he's a very useful fielder and looked the goods when he first came in.
Edit: Also, ropes at North Sydney Oval... because it wasn't already small enough?

Exactly, the other option is needed to manage work loads, but its just the fact that its Mitch Marsh ... again.When things are going well, we don't need the extra bowler, but surely the Poms will actually knuckle down and put a score on at some stage.

Is the fascination because she drew blood?Exactly, the other option is needed to manage work loads, but its just the fact that its Mitch Marsh ... again.
Meanwhile, the ropes are partly a safety thing, so no one goes sliding into the fence, but also makes the womens game a bit more enjoyable ... job done you'd say too, the 6'ers innings last night was brilliant, 4/242 is an excellent T20 innings in anyone's book, with 114 off 52 from one girl, and 91n.o off 49 from the future Ex-Mrs Count - Ellyse Perry

Predictably not amused.What does the current Mrs Count say about this?
