SCG 4th Test: Australia v India on Jan 6-10, 2015

Yeh def. If your going to bring in someone young and talented you need to give them a big go. Maybe that's the way to go, bring in some gun 18-23 year old rather than a 30 year old who averages low 40s in shield cricket for 10 years.

"Marsh has got every toy you need." - James Brayshaw

Probaly the highest praise a cricketer can receive

I heard that too, seriously he should be just hyping up crap like the Big Wank and not commentating on real cricket.

Kholi likes to set leg side fields which is very unconventional. It means his bowlers have to bowl at leg stump which is going to give away alot of runs. He seems to be trying to dry up the runs rather than have a method of getting these 2 out. He is making Darsh and Monty look pretty good here.

You can see Burns has been playing in the Big Toss Off recently, he seems to be going for his runs with a lot of urgency rather then batting for a long time. I think he needs to learn how to play test cricket. He also got out playing his shots in both innings in the 3rd test.

I can see the damage the big Toss Off is doing to our younger batsmen here. Fortunately for him the bowling is direct from the pie shop.

He only played the one big bash game before the 3rd test

 

[Dutchy]

Darsh, to this point has averaged 55 this series (while not out)

He gets a pass.

Yep and 5 straight shield games before that.

 

[hineyrulz]

Doolan, marsh and Hughes. All performed worse.

How many tests did they have to prove themselves you plonker??? That was my point??? Doolan did ok against the best attack in world cricket then had one poor test and was disgarded. He was run out in that first innings and then left out for that hacking gimp the big show FFS!!

If Watson was batting 5 or 6 and bowling more no one would be questioning his place in the side. But the facts are he is almost playing as a batsman these days and playing in the top 3.

Not enough toys.

like I said,

they also practice in the nets daily while they are in the squad so you don't think they practice their forward defense do you ?

I think he likes the size of his toys.

In and around his mouth.

Lol. Doolan lover. They are rare. Good luck with that.
About 5 each at a guess. Enough to see they were struggling at test level

Riveting session this one...

 

[vvvrulz]

Ok... are the conditions tough for batting or is this just a senseless grind in fear of not getting out?

489/4 ffs... have a smash and make that 600 then throw 20 overs at the Indians

 

[cleary89]

20 off the last 10 overs. Worth the price of admission.

 

[Canard]

This is only his 2nd test so any review of his form is irrelevant.

But gee Burns is Mr Plod at the moment.

 

[Hutty1986]

Look for some cherries to rag here.

 

[Canard]

Burns must have got the word.

He is unleashed!!

Wish Huss was out there batting instead of plugging stuff on tv, bless him.

Him and the Kat are two of my favourites.
