Shaun Marsh or Adam Voges?

Voges has to be dropped - can't keep him in; doesn't mean he's finished, but he has to be dropped immediately.

The way he has gone out in both innings would be the biggest worry, both very soft dismissals due solely to Voges playing terrible shots. Not getting his bat out of the way and pushing at a ball away from the body are just not acceptable at test level.

Voges is the quintessential Sheffield Shield player, nothing more. Can't/won't cut it at test level, he did what he had to do and that was score a mountain of runs in the Shield, but that is probably his level to be honest.

That second innings dismissal looked like he had lost his marbles on the walk out to the middle. It was about a foot above the stumps and a foot wide. All but had a comic strip talk bubble above it saying 'NO NEED TO PLAY AT'.

For a man who must have faced Finn a fair bit in his life and for his age, it was quite the cricketing faux pas. For that alone, Marsh could come in.

Though he'll probably get out trying to cut Ali on a ball that's too close to the stumps.

At least he'd get out trying to do something, Voges is going out because he can't even leave a ball properly.

Guess this argument is done and dusted. Might as well consider it a travesty if he isn't dropped for the rest of the series.

Tipping Shaun Marsh will be in for the 4th Test batting at 4. Clarke can go back to 5. It's amazing how well Clarke bats at 5 and crap he bats at 4.

Who's worse Lyth or Voges?

Who's worse Lyth or Voges?

Lyth by the length of the Flemington straight.

Voges is a good player who may just be overawed by the pressure. He also got off to a solid start before coming undone. Lyth looks terrible.

Here's hoping Marsh can continue his good tour match form, but obviously the quality of Anderson, Broad and co is a significant step up.

Clarke's current batting has nothing to do with the difference between 4 and 5
