So how long has it been since Marnus hit a ton at test level?

Tongue in a groove.

Pity Wood went home

 

[TasSixer]

England fielders wearing too much Lynx and distracting our batters. they normally smell

 

[Westend]

Really need to look at getting in some new blood to bat over then next three or so years.

renners Kellaway McSweeney......and Connolly/Peake ....are the most talented bats for me in the shield going forward

Connolly Peake few years yet but I expect those 5 to be in around the test team fairly soon

 

[grumbleguts]

Two games is hardly a big sample size. On bolands first game he was the greatest ever. Since then he's been relatively mediocre but gets a game.

OK I get that you're a little hard of thinking, and probably don't know what country India is in, but the guy has taken 66 wickets at 19.63 SINCE the point that you suggest he's been "relatively mediocre."

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

Win the toss and choose to bowl, the first session markers for me are

4+ wickets is a win to the bowling team
3 a draw
2 or under a win to the batting team

 

[Tiges1229]

Tongue in a groove.

Oh boy

 

[Drugs Are Bad Mackay?]

3 runs from the last 5 overs ain't great

Marnus-Smith-Khawaja in a row in the batting order are a bit similar

 

[SC_Power]

Can we play Marnus as a specialist fielder? Cos he's done as a Test batsman.
Doesn't know where his off stump is.

Ricky Ponting does not like this.

 

[Westend]

We did. He tore it up and demanded selection.

yeah and thats the worry gone back to nicking off what got him dropped in the first place

 

[FullyBigKPro]

Shot Smiffy

 

[MarcMaverick]

Yeah, whatever Smudge.

 

[JackOutback]

Only low 80,000 for the Boxing Day Test, chasing a 5-0 sweep? Time to take it off Melbourne and give it to a city that will turn out, like Perth.

 

[Stax on the mill]

Well, this is going swimmingly.

Maybe this is the day that Boy Wonder will step up?

He’d only have to make 20, and his fanboys would want to know, “where are the Green haters now?”.

So how long has it been since Marnus hit a ton at test level?

Old Trafford 2023?

No where near it it looked live

 

[Hawksboy72]

DIdnt the "off stump" end brad hodges career??

 

[010203]

Didn't seem out live. I shook my head with Dharmasena.

 

[LukeParkerno1]

Snicko time lol

 

[Membling]

Kellaway and Connolly?

Should definitely start by getting 2 new openers in.

If we’re 2 for not many most games anyway it might as well be with Konstas and Kellaway. Take advantage of it while Smith and Carey etc are still there.

Kellaway and McSweeney for mine.

Connolly bit more time.

Konstas need to demonstrate he can knuckle down at the crease.

Also need some more strike bowlers but hey, see what happens

 

[k31th]

surely a weirdly desperate review

 

[ptrg]

Smith looks a bit guilty

Edit: jumper

 

[MarcMaverick]

First test of the DRS after the mare in Adelaide.

 

[Struggle]

Wait a 3rd umpire making a quick decision? What is this
