India vs Australia 1st Test: 23 to 27 Feb at Pune at 3pm (Mel/Syd)

[PhatBoy]

Then why was he selected?

He turned the corner this summer and the last. Pretty sure that if you put him on a turning deck now he will do well.

Hopefully will get a shot in the coming tests.

Highlighted by his disgusting effort last time he played on a turning deck

 

[Wolfs]

The s**t ball with no bounce gets wickets in India lol. Played all around it. Oh well. Wade time.

 

[Bradesmaen]

Surely his Test career is over for a few years until he can prove that he can bat. He either needs to go back to Shield cricket and make runs, or do a Cam White/Steve Smith and pick one aspect. Bat or Bowl.

 

[BRWB]

So the Marsh boys fail yet again.

Shocked to be sitting here.

 

[carnthemlions]

It wouldn't be at all shocking if O'Keefe made more runs than M Marsh this series.

 

[Wolfs]

While I prefer Nevill, I really, really hope Wade plays a solid knock.

I think you are right. I can see why the selectors persist but his batting clearly hasn't cut it outside of one day cricket really

 

[Fat Nyfe]

I left work at 0-80. What have I missed

Surely he will do better than the frikkin' Marsh brothers (TM)?

Smarsh looked competent.

We should bat Mitch at 11.

 

[Xtreme]

What's there not to like about Renshaw. He's putting our experienced batsmen and leaders to shame.

Sack Smith

Enter captain squirts Renshaw

 

[Richard Cranium]

Oh gee. What a surprise...

I mean he did score runs in the tour match, so he did select himself. I think he should bat at 7 rather than 6. I don't know why they put him in 6.

Yeah. I mean who could have seen that coming.

 

[Gough]

Well batted son.

Yes but they've all failed bar Renshaw. Not exactly a batsman friendly pitch.

Mitch needs out of the team but it's not only due to this innings.

 

[Blue1980]

Well done Renshaw

 

[Westend]

Why doesnt Mitch just go out there and hit the damn thing!!!

Every dismissal is the same defending... he should be having a go !!

 

[Art Vandelay_]

 

[Cleavy]

Well played Renshaw!

 

[Jatz]

Well done Matty. Been the best of the lot.

 

[dogs105]

Agar will save us

 

[Jimthegreat]

Well, this is going well. Was going to ask if Renshaw can just farm the strike with M.Marsh in but too late now.

Matt Hayden about to pen an acceptance letter about Renshaw batting "in the Hayden way" in India.

Just to clarify are you reffering to Matthew Hayden the Cricketer, the man, the speaker, the businessman, the cook, or the giving back (whatever that is meant to mean)
