[Pugsley]

could have done better, instead off recycling old players

 

[Elite Crow]

Needs a capital B

 

[MatthewB]

why no Jake Lehman either, is it his bad moustache

 

[1990crow]

Tim Paine? FFS paineful selection continues.

No Lehman? In laymans terms, poor call.

Shaun marsh is the definition of boys club selections. Completely baffling why they'd pick a proven failure again

We're getting better slowly. Cricket getting worse. At least in the past we had good old players

Ben Stokes is a huge loss for England.Next time he witnesses 3 bloke's kicking a drunk bloke on the ground.I hope he does the same again and punches all 3 of them.

Marsh may be a proven failure, but at least he's proven. Renshaw, on the other hand? Hasn't proven anything at all.

Yeah but he is what 12 years Marshs junior.

Already looked better on the national stage, especially at home.

Exactly. Could be better or about the same. May as well find out before he's 34.

Who is on the Nine commentary team this year? They need Botham and Chappelli to co-host

Lol, that isn't going to happen after the last time...

 

[dogs105]

Lol, that isn't going to happen after the last time...

And thank goodness, as they're both s**t

 

[Kane McGoodwin]

Well we may get our wish with Marsh a good chance to miss with back injury & Maxwell called into the squad.

 

[GreyCrow]

Rumour was Dave Warner had the injury

Neck injury & still not 100%

 

[Danger in Texas]

Well we may get our wish with Marsh a good chance to miss with back injury & Maxwell called into the squad.

Comparing Marsh with Maxwell in test match terms is like comparing boiled lollies with boiled lollies

I'll be working well outside of phone range tomorrow and Friday.

Hope I can at least catch the draft (and the subsequent meltdowns).

As for the cricket, for all the talk about Starc emulating Johnson in 2013/14, people seem to forget that Ryan Harris was the difference in that series. He not only took wickets, but kept the pressure on all the time, which allowed Johnson to bowl in an all out attacking manner. It was no surprise that Johnson's career came to a crashing halt once Ryano retired. Hazlewood needs to play that role for us now - if we just send Cummins and Starc in to bowl fast, Root and co will feast on us.

 

[Cap]

Starc is way better bowler than Johnson in any case.

Hazelwood is pretty much Harris without that railroad ball that got Cook so often.

I think the key is Cummins, that guy is extreme talent locked in the body of a cripple.
