Who would you have dropped? And before you say Marsh, he topped scored a couple of times so would have been hard to drop him.
The only thing that Marsh did on tour that was surprising was the saving innings in the last test. His failures have been as predictable as they have been pathetic.

We were all hoping that his innings last week was the start of something better, but of course he has reverted to type this test. And the inevitability of it all is what is so disheartening.

Very disappointing effort. Not as bad a series as most of us expected but to get this close to winning over there and blow it - disappointing.

Yeah, we got ourselves into dominant positions with the bat all series and had the chance to put them under real pressure but just blew it time and time again by losing clumps of wickets. The Indians are a very good all round team. They bat right down, have quality spinners and their quicks bowled well.

Putting aside the disappointment of that innings...if we can get them 3 for not much a few of them might have a shit nights sleep and we roll them tomorrow??
I bloody well hope we can snare some early wickets as this test has shown it's a lot easier to bat on this pitch if you can survive the early minefield and the Indian openers appear determined to dig in. IF we can snare 3 quick ones the old "Delhi Belly" will be spreading throughout their changerooms, with them playing one batsman short.

C'monnnnn you bastards!
