I think the logic of sending starc out was they wanted the number 11 to be able to run through like a maniac if it came to it. With the field up they sent starc out to either hit a four or get bowled by boult.

Say what you like about Marsh, but that is possibly the best knock he has played in Test matches given the circumstances. Deserved a 50 and to be there at the end, but he did all the hard work better players refused to do and good on him. Poor shot to finish but the job was done

Credit where its due. A brilliant, patient innings under big pressure.

Starc going out there on one foot was interesting for sure. Was the physio busy?

Like i said earlier in the thread (im only guessing) they wanted 11 to be able to sprint a single if it comes to it. With the field up and boult with two balla left i think they expected boult to either bowl him or starc to hit a four.

Yes, his knock ultimately got them home but his running between wickets was poor and considering he was well and truly in on the pitch, he dithered around a lot at the end of his innings and was struggling to put anything into a gap..

I wouldn't be disappointed if this is his last game.,.
