The Australian selectors are literally the only ones shocked by that.
Really glad they gave the "subcontinent specialist" Darsh brothers a game.

The selectors are absolute fu cking geniuss. Who wouldn't have predicted a double dose of Darsh failure?

Gee the commentators thought that was out, and yet it was 4

They are as bad as the guys out in the middle.

Its a wonder they didn't appeal.

But but but he scored a ton in Sri Lanka. Let's drop the guy who almost averages 48 for him. You know it makes sense!

I know it must be fun to lay the boot in but surely you can't prefer India over us
It's the lesser of two evils.

I love Australia. LOVE AUSTRALIA.

But the cricket team? Not so much! As an England fan an era of Warne, Hayden, McGrath, Johnson, Haddin etc does that to you :D

I wouldn't imagine anyone here cheered England on vs India last month and fair enough.

Ideally India win and Kohli gets 4 king pairs.

Makes perfect sense, Darsh Sr once got runs in an IPL game and Darsh Jr averaged 6 in the latest Shield season.

How can you not pick them???

It's all Renshaw's fault
Anyway.

I insist on calling up Quiney for the next test because he once saw a decent knock on tv by an Indian batsman.

Well, he may have been Indian. He wasn't watching that closely.

The selection of the Marsh brothers who have consistently failed and axing Khawaja who is in form genuinely pisses me off. I thought we'd seen the last of Mitch Marsh. Nowhere near good enough for this level, especially at 6...he isn't even a great bowler!! Give me Faulkner any day over him. I don't know what the answer is... but once the Marsh brothers were out of the team in the summer we started winning test matches. Beats me why we go back to that.

I take it it's not considered carrying his bat if Renshaw is not out at the end of the innings courtesy of his squirts break??
