All I wanted is for us to bat first. Should win this one with the pitches the Indians produce, and we have three spinners. If we get to 300+, I might put a bet on us winning.

So has S.Marsh finally put the last nail in his coffin?

Khawaja despite his sub continent record batted really well over the summer. Would've backed him to provide a lot more than Marsh in the first two tests
Short memory.

Last Test top scored with 66 in the 1st innings to set up a great lead. Like the rest of the batsmen in the 2nd innings, they shit the bed.

Ok, Maxwell has got to tea supporting Smith. Fingers crossed he can keep it up and stay around a while.

I have no dog in the Maxwell/Wade fight but I haven't seen evidence that Wade can give out lessons in batting patience. They both need to knuckle down.

1/5 ain't bad I guess.

Test 1: 16,0

Test 2: 66,9

Test 3: 2, ?

Not that impressive. We really needed him to stand up in the first test and today. He was lauded as the most consistent of our batsman on the sub continent and that's why he took Uzzie's spot in the side. We needed more from him considering how big a move it was for him to replace an in form Batsman. A move that to me has not paid dividends.

Time for you to jump off too, mate.

Focusing on his only acceptable effort from a stretch of abysmal garbage is a bit disingenuous.
