Shaun Marsh

[Kram]

Are you kidding? Eths entire argument is bias and it goes like this "I like Marsh so I will ignore his 6 s**t scores and count his 2 good ones" If you and Eth can't understand why we have more patience with a 25 year old than a 34 year old walking Injury, then good luck to you. Pretty straight forward for just about every other poster in this thread I would have thought.

Handscomb has a free pass with zero criticism for being s**t, no problem.

He's been s**t nobody's disputing that. He doesn't have a free pass it's just hat He can learn a lot more than Marsh can from a series like that.

Mate, HE IS NOT A SENIOR PLAYER. Of course they're held to different standards. Peter averaged more in the series too.

Shaun, while he deserves respect for playing at the highest level, does not belong there and is too injury prone.

 

[Scotland]

Bring back Marcus North.

35 innings, 1171 runs @ 35.48, 5 x 100, 4 x 50
19 innings, 14 wickets @ 42.21

vs

42 innings, 1476 runs @ 36.00, 4 x 100, 7 x 50

Should have picked North. Averages 35 in India and has a test 100 there. Subcontinent specialist!

True but the Bushranger hat no doubt holds a lot with the peanut gallery = he can fail a lot with zero critisism because of this.

FWIW Handscomb's shortest innings in India was 23 balls. Marsh had 5 innings shorter than that.

He was absolute crap, you don't need pointless stats to understand this.

Who wasn't?

Geez State loyalty is blind to someone being ******* hopeless in these cricket threads.

We know Marsh was mate, that's the point of the thread.

Bring back Marcus North.

Bring back George Bailey.

Might be time to start sucking on bananas instead of lemons, relax and stop pouting.

 

[BlueandGoldforever]

Shaun Marsh is in the form of his life. Let’s hope he can cash in with another century before the Test series is over.

lol at you being about as existent here as Pete Handscomb's footwork for the first couple of Tests.

Not a problem as a South Aussie, although fingers crossed that will change soon.

 

[Demosthenes]

SA would do a lot for their Shield team's Test hopes if they stopped churning out roads. It limits the performance of their bowlers and discredits the runs of their batsmen.

 

[Gough]

That would be assuming that the SACA is responsible and professional organisation which would be a mistake.

Anyone in particular?

Weatherald.
Head's massively overrated as a test prospect.

 

[Kram]

What's Lehmann Jr been doing.

I can't even remember if I was referring to Shaun Marsh or s**t batsmen in general.

And yet they've had the best bowling attack in the comp the past three years.

Hmm...

Well, NSW have the best bowling attack in the comp. They just hardly play Shield cricket.

SA's attack is fine, but dibby dobblers won't get you into the Test side. Maybe if they offered pitches that favoured fast bowling, swing bowling or spin they would have an attack that gets selected.

Hmm...

In the way that they haven't? Victoria's attack for their B2B2B was better.

My point had more to do with the out-dated roads claim, but they have had three of the top ten wicket takers in the last two seasons (admittedly I had forgotten how s**t we were three seasons ago), despite, again, apparently playing half their games on roads that offer bowlers nothing.
