Shaun Marsh. Again. Selectors hang your head.

So any idea on par score ?

300. Quick outfield, pitch is playing better than the other 2. Time for Maxwell to step up.

 

[Hojuman]

What happened to Virat ?

Karma is what happened to the little r.....
Injured on the boundary.

So...................no Glen Archer like toughness ? Amputate and get back on ?

Agreed.

Anything over 300 should be a very competitive first innings total on this pitch if we bowl well.

Just being the typical Indian drama queen. Chased one to the boundary and dived and jarred his shoulder. Nothing serious.

Maxwell has started really well. How long until he does something silly?

That's always been my problem with him. He'll get is into a nice recovery position and then rather than go on with it he'll reverse sweep one straight to point.

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.

I backed us as soon as we won the toss.
Can still get $3.00

Think Maxy may seize his chance here. Fingers crossed. Knows conditions well enough.

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.

 

[Hearts to hearts]

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.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Wade has played the supporting role plenty of times.

In regard to Kholi apparently questions over the legitimacy of his shoulder injury, vision of him clutching the wrong shoulder etc doing the rounds.

 

[Hojuman]

Maxwell using his brains.

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.

 

[roos_fanatic08]

Maxwell should have been playing from the start, blatantly obvious that he offered more than Mitch Marsh.

Time for you to jump off too, mate.

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

 

[Hearts to hearts]

Maxwell with a six to go to 73. Amazing. Keep it up.

 

[Hojuman]

Smith with the ton !

Please ,please ,please boys don't stuff this up.
