The Marsh brothers showed the same amount of ticker as their second innings scores.

Uzi wins Man of the Match

Effort was made even better on that doctored wicket.

Uzi wins Man of the Match

The Marshes and Billy Slater a little unlucky.

So what will happen to our saviours from WA? Will they be rested; withdraw due to injury; or lead our batting from the dressing room again in the second Test. Obviously they cannot be dropped after such a comprehensive performance.

The Marshes and Billy Slater a little unlucky.

Billy Slater will likely file a protest with the stewards.

 

[Bring back John Fifita]

That 5* off 34 pills from Lyon certainly shat all over the talentless Marsh brothers

I've always seen Lyon as someone who should bat above our other bowlers, especially to defend. Pat Cummins possible exception.

 

[hineyrulz]

Lyon good of batted for another 20 overs, looked as safe as houses.

Helluva draw

 

[Mr Spock!]

Great draw.....

Mitchell Marsh is the one armed Cooper Cronk of the Aussie cricket team.

He's there for his leadership - nothing else.

 

[Bazal]

f**king magic.

"Khawaja can't play spin", shut the f**k up. Of course he'll be iffy if you keep dropping the prick after one test in Asia here and another two there. Superstar performance, ably supported by a surprising Fatty Finch, an extraordinarily gritty Tim "Diet AB" Paine and a mature Travis Head.

 

[JJ]

Great stuff, real character and grit, effort to be incredibly proud of , and again shows why test cricket is great

 

[Twizzle]

how f**king good is test cricket

 

[hineyrulz]

how f**king good is test cricket

It’s really f**king good!!

 

[roofromoz]

Long live test cricket. Seriously, I would see that 100 times again before a super over in T20 or chasing down a target in the last over in an ODI*.











* Michael Bevan on new year's day 1996 excluded.

 

[Iafeta]

Well played Usman. Great innings to save the test.

 

[Timbo]

Australian cricket really needed this.

What a great match, and brilliant efforts by Uzi, Finch, Head and the Skip.

I’m feeling a bit better about this summer now.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Shane Warne the real winner here for motivating these plodders

Shane Warne MOM

 

[TheFrog]

Marsh Bros - 4 innings, 19 runs, average of 9.5

First grade arithmetic not your strong point?
19 / 4 = 4.75

 

[TheParraboy]

Brilliant come from behind, saving a loss.

We were always gonna need a few guys to step up and they did, But Ozzie was even above that

Here's hoping we win the toss in the 2nd test and keep them in the field for 2 days, that will cook them and who knows we may even have a slight chance of winning the series? Who would have thought?

We don't need to play Starc, save him for India. Bring in Nesser I guess.
Maybe bring in Agar for Holland?
Surely Renshaw replaces SMarsh?
