Ashes 3rd test @ The WACA

Great over Woakes

Voges has to be the biggest statistical anomaly of all time. Rubbish batsman, especially when we needed him, who feasted on shit teams like the West Indies.

Not sure if it counts as a 'statistic' but Smith playing his first match at #8 and #9 is pretty bizarre too!

Interesting that you neglected to mentioned that his ‘feasting’ against a shit side like the Windies included a century when Australia were 8-120.

 

[Magma]

there's 100 there if he really wants it. poms offering nothing.

 

[Fat Nyfe]

Mitch Marsh average watch: 22.6, up 1.1

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Highest test score at the WACA for smith

Voges is harshly treated. Got picked old and then his eyesight went quickly and naturally guys with ****ed eyesight are bad.

 

[Bedi]

whack!

 

[Pakenhamsaint]

Thats a sharp shot

 

[Badesumofu]

M. Marsh is actually looking pretty decent here. He is in good batting form.

 

[Woody15]

Surely Overton has to come on now

 

[Sylvia Saint]

Bullshit. Voges was far from rubbish. Fantastic shield player who made the most of his opportunities early for Australia. It is not his fault teams like the West Indies were not strong. There have been many worse players than Voges who played test cricket.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, rubbish is a strong word, I should have said rubbish under pressure... but regardless but 2nd best average ever? That is so out of place.

The other 'old guy', Chris Rogers averaged somewhere in the 40s, but I think he had a far bigger impact on the test side than Voges did.

 

[NSWCROW]

Who's this Marsh kid ??

 

[Chism]

Gee Broad is bowling some Pies!

Keep em coming Stewy you twat.

 

[yakka man]

If these two go on it will be a scintillating day of Cricket.

 

[BlueandGoldforever]

That was poor by Marsh. Played too far away from his body. Exactly where Warner went wrong

Rubbish. It was a good ball that actually turned. To quote Ian Chappell:’That was the perfect ball to a left-hander’.

 

[Demosthenes]

Can't wait for the Cricket Show's feature on Starc and Alyssa Healy.

Pretty bloody handy for the Warriors over a long period though. Quality player over the course of his career

 

[largebus]

**** I was expecting a flukey innings from Mitch but this is glorious

 

[Bedi]

Can't wait for the Cricket Show's feature on Starc and Alyssa Healy.

should call it the Alyssa Healy Show. She's always on it.

 

[Bedi]

scoreboard looking very healthy now.

M. Marsh is actually looking pretty decent here. He is in good batting form.

Well yeah. He basically didn't play any shield cricket at all during his stint in the test side and picking a bloke in the side when he isn't good enough and doesn't have the time to work on his game is never going to end well.

Still would have preferred he have the whole season for WA before even getting considered but he's improved because he finally got a stint at lower levels.

 

[gordo2016]

There have also been many better, ergo why it is painful from a purists perspective to see Voges' average as second only to the Don.

As far as I am concerned, Voges has merely shifted the all-time average threshold from min 30 innings to min 1500 runs.

Of course there have been many better. The comment was made that Voges was rubbish, which is crockshit and made by someone who obviously has no idea.

 

[a mayes ing]

Really hope he gets consistency. Fantastic hitter of the ball, he is a good bowler and he can really be the all rounder like Stokes is.

 

[NSWCROW]

Match avg just a tad over 100 per session*


By my shite maths

 

[Carbine Chaos]

Good session that. Keep it going lads!
