[Bazal]

Well. That's f**ken racist dross.

He's Australian for one and his ancestry is f**ken Sri Lankan

Hey. f**k off. I’m the resident minority racist around here.

STFU you're Chinese that's not a minority

 

[Mr. Shaman]

STFU you're Chinese that's not a minority

It is when you live in West f**ken Norfolk surrounded by whitie potato farmers

 

[TheParraboy]

Weather looks good for the first 4 days

Maybe a bit of rain on the 5th

Will be quite warm on days 2, 3 and 4 ...30c-34c

So Im guessing we win the toss and bat till tea on day 4 ?

common sense prevails

 

[jargan83]

Dropping Marsh and selecting Webster makes sense but I never thought they'd actually do it.

 

[Chins get the wins]

We all know he'll be back unfortunately

 

[Fangs]

Easiest selection call of the Summer. Glad they didn't f**k it up.

Only other issue is Starc and the workload on the bowlers. Fingers crossed we bat first and go deep into day 2.

 

[Bazal]

Spectacular news

 

[King-Gutho94]

I doubt Marsh will play another test at 33.

He got 46 tests in the Baggy Green Cap

While England gave Jonny Bairstow 100 Tests

Who were the bigger idiots and who gets to claim the moral victory

 

[mozza91]

Huge Bison sized wheels to fill now. Who’s gonna score under 10 and bowl 3 overs with 5 no balls now?

Bye-son

I live in Sydney. I know Sydney. The weather will be fine. Hardly a drop of rain over the next 5 days so there will be plenty of time for a result.

I notice Cummins said we haven't seen the last of Marsh in the baggy green. Well Steve Waugh said that when Slater was dropped in 2001 and he was wrong. So for this comparison to work we just need Webster to blossom into the equal of the Hayden-Langer opening partnership. Easy.

Free of Darsh free of Darsh!!!

Getting dropped means nothing for the Marsh's, he'll be back, dropped and back again by May.

Sometimes i wonder if that Hayden-Langer was really worth it now having to put up with the dynamic duo dribble in the commentary box

Its not like Justin Langer was the difference to that champion team.

He was a gap filler when you had blokes like Ponting, Gilchrist, S Waugh, Warne, McGrath a bloke like Langer got carried in reality.

How many games was he the point of difference in that era.

He never played in any of those champion ODI sides that won world cups.

We could have had Mike Hussey open the batting for 3-4 years before he got picked and Brad Hodge in the middle order and the team results would have stayed the same.

 

[The Mad Hatter]

I detest Hodge but he was desperately unlucky to get looked over.

End of the road for the big strong man.
