Marnus is a lunatic.

 

[This Year?]

I'm going to celebrate by watching some Sunny Leone movies.
So chuffed we won because we could have easily shat the bed today.
The whole series has been a ride that remotely compares to the Ashes.

 

[JamesRustle]

Can we get a camera into the Indian dressingroom asap

 

[TheParraboy]

Considering Australia would’ve won in Brisbane had it not been for the monsoonal rain patch that hit the city for a 2/3 week period - this is essentially a 4-1 series win with 4 on the trot.

Not too shabby,

was concerned after the first test many on here were in a dark cricket hole with no sign of light...

 

[King-Gutho94]

Beau Webster has toiled away in Shield for 10 years. Improved his batting through the years and now probably at his peak at 31.

He looks like a player that knows his game and shows why picking blokes for Test Cricket off T20 Garbage is a waste of time.

Sheffield Shield is there f**king use it.

 

[JJ]

Great series, and the better team won… both carried dead wood for too long…. Bumrah, Cummins and Boland were all great, Starc really good, and done great moments from Head Jaiswal Smith, Webster and Reddy

 

[PARRA_FAN]

What a way to finish!!! Player on debut smacks a four for the win.

Great stuff. Great win. How good is test cricket?

 

[jargan83]

3-1 and should have been 4-1 if not for the weather in Brisbane.

Suck it India.

 

[Bazal]

Surely Webster fits in somewhere for SL and the Windies. He's gotta be given the chance to build on that and make a case for the Ashes

 

[King-Gutho94]

Marnus is a lunatic.

What makes you think that

NOOOO Run
Appeals for everything
His 2hr walk to a pavilion after getting dismissed.
His Continued Dribble

 

[hineyrulz]

Howie what was a snivelling little weasel he is, i reckon after play he'll be in the Indian dressing rooms on his knees.

 

[Chins get the wins]

He might open and send Sammy not so Smartmerkin back to Shield

bang on

We got some good young bowlers doing well in Shield last couple of years about ready to step up

Hopefully can identify a couple of good bats next 12-24 months, retirements to Khawaj and Smith are coming in that time id imagine,

He looks really good, when is Green back? Top 3 remain an issue, but Webster and Boland should be amongst it

 

[AlwaysGreen]

Can't wait to get the pitches next time we're in India.

I assume Khawaja's recent outstanding record in Asia will give him the Sri Lanka tests.

Do you take him to the WTC final at Lord's.

Green will bat 4, move Smith and Marnus up one.

Green tops for Bumrah to unleash hell

 

[icewind]

The only reason India were in it at all was Bumrah. And they bowled him into the ground and wonder why he gets injured. Wouldn't be surprised to see him break down more and more as they basically solely rely on him outside of Indian conditions.
