and bat

Since he’s been back he’s looked surprisingly solid actually. Was worried about his batting.

No huge scores but doesn’t give his wicket away easily.

Starc destroys another tail.
And on Mardi Gras.
Very appropriate imo.
Ian Roberts would have pride.

unless its a dust bowl in India or SL I wouldn't tinker with our 8,9,10,11 keep as it is, especially when we are getting the job done quite easily.

If Anything we need to get a better opener than Bancroft and prepare to replace/drop/send to the abyss SMarsh (he is turning 35 in july)

Imo, we have a better opener in Matthew Renshaw.

FORMER Australian opener Simon Katich has backed Mitchell Marsh to be a future Test captain if he continues on his current upward trajectory.

The bloke averaged 19 a few months ago now he's our next captain? Has Katich taken up crack in retirement?

 

[herbert henry1908]

Imo, we have a better opener in Matthew Renshaw.

I’d seriously consider sending out the SOS for Renshaw if Bancroft fails again in the second dig.

No way Handscomb can open the batting, and I wouldn’t want to shuffle the rest of the order around. Hell Handscomb shouldn’t even be there, he looked woeful over the summer.

Bancroft has the footwork of a donkey

He's a Marsh, it's his destiny

Former Australian opener Simon Katich has lost his marbles.

Paging Mr Smith, Tommy Smith, please report to this thread, Mr Tommy Smith.

Bancroft's career is at the point where he should raise his bat when he gets to Quiney.

I have no problem with what he said


“I think Mitch Marsh should be the one that is captain in front of him (Pat Cummins) when Steve Smith is done and dusted,” Katich said in the SEN commentary box. “If he keeps going at this rate and improving the way he has with the bat and contributing with the ball, then down the track potentially he’s the man.”

Just swapped over from the NZ vs England ODI and imagine my surprise to see Bancroft still in the middle.

 

[Hutty1986]

Rabada the key here. He can tear through us in no time

 

[jargan83]

What a shit shot from the Vice Captain

 

[Hutty1986]

Lol and there it is. Derpy davey chokes with the 455th dumb dismissal of his career. We'll be seeing Smithy very shortly.

 

[_snafu_]

I don't understand why Warner looks so perplexed or disappointed. If he didn't play a shit shot he would still be batting.
