Shaun Marsh's 10th test. Can anyone name a less deserving cricketer to get to 10 tests in Australian cricketing history.

And he is 31 ffs. He isn't some raw talent that needs time. He is as good as he will ever be. And that is more seasons in his career than 1st class centuries.

If Shaun Marsh had another surname he wouldn't be anywhere near the side.

He's as mediocre as they come.

I think you have it all wrong with SMarsh. He averaged around 3.2 v india last time they were here

He is off to a massive start this time around, 10 times that average today alone

Potentially another 5 innings left, watch him aggregate 100 runs for the series...

Test even at this stage. Australia are scoring at over 4 runs an over, so a result either way is definitely on the cards. I still have my doubts that I do can bowl us out twice.

Ashwin was looking very good until Smith knocked him off his length, was getting a few to spin as well. We won't want to be chasing to many in the last dig.

the umpires don't care about the news and would have stayed on if spinners were bowling

and it's only news time in two states

Ump was interviewed on ABC Grandstand and said it was past the scheduled close of play so they cant go back on even though the over rate was slow and they needed to catch up

What are you talking about? The umpires no longer offer the light and when they did it was to the batsmen. If the Indians don't want to bowl spin from both ends then that's their choice.
