Id rather he did, and never became a commentator

that way, would have exposed how crap a captain he was, no one would hire him post cricket

Mike Atherton and Nassar Hussein got commentating gigs

Just saw this on cricinfo
"
On the day that I started with Cricinfo, Oct 23, 2006, Tim Paine made 215 for Tasmania. That's more than 12 years ago. I know there are reasons related to his injuries, but it is still staggering that a batsman of his quality hasn't made a first-class hundred since then. #AUSvIND

Staggering indeed - more staggering is his profile pic on cricinfo, which indicates he was about 3 years old when he made that 215!

Regardless of who wins - test cricket is great, especially when they don't play on roads

This is a good start from Marsh. Credit where it's due, that's a good 50. But you get the feeling that nothing less than another 50 will suffice. He's a top-order batsman and at least one of them needs to post a decent total. Finch, Harris, Khawaja, Handscomb and Head haven't this time, so he must. A good start won't be enough.

Pat Howard gave him a pass mark when he got to 30

Imagine what Pat Howard will do if he gets to 60!

 

[Sphagnum]

They've really picked up the run rate in the last 5 overs. Nice counter attack

 

[TheParraboy]

174 to go

5/150


NOTE:: our bowlers scored 49 runs in the 1st dig, inc a Haze duck
They have the talent to do better than that 2nd dig

 

[Meth]

Geez, is this the Marsh brothers apologists' tour or what?

 

[Clem Gould]

Fox has doubled our chances . Up 1% to 2% Get on

 

[Timbo]

This truly is the darkest timeline.
