Has Marsh done anything since being dropped last summer? How does he keep getting picked?

I’m not a fan but he’s had a very good A tour and has been very good in all the tour games. At least we are picking him while he’s in form!

He didn't even play the first class match on the A tour.

Funny how the selectors keep Starc out of the team based on his lesser performances in English conditions

But Mitch Marsh averages 20 with the bat overseas and only 12 with the bat in England

And Marsh is the biggest dud of them all, just because he can bowl a few overs doesn't mean he should be anywhere near our top 6.

Normally I’d agree but we need some right handers in this side. There’s too many left handers which plays into Broad’s hand

I think we are over reacting if we pick MMarsh thinking we need another seamer

Batting wise makes no sense, left or right handed


my XI

Warner
Khawaja/Harris
Smith
Labuschagne
Head
Wade
Paine
Cummins
Starc
Lyon
Haze

f**k this all rounder stuff, why do we need another bowler ?

the poms aren't exactly knocking up 500 run innings

we need to pick the best 6 batsmen we can and let the bowlers do the job they have been doing as we need the runs

At no 6 whether it be Marsh, Wade or Bancroft, Harris is there much difference.
Sure Wade got a hundred in the first test. But that was after Smith and Head broke a weakened bowling attack.
Bancroft at least digs in, so that's something if he can get around to scoring runs as well.

We had our chance and blew it. I've seen this movie more times than I care to remember. It always ends the same.
