Bring back NRL. Most aussie kids are playing PS5, indian kids are obviously playing outside. Were going to lose.
 
I’ve been expecting a collapse like this for a while. Too many players with dodgy techniques in this lineup and they’ve been exposed big time today, by good bowling zeroing in on the stumps. Must be changes for Sydney. Marsh first to go. Can’t score a run and can’t bowl too many overs. Not the all rounder we need.
 
Disgusting when you dont take the runs on offer.

I want a wicket to wake the Aussies up
 
Think I remember what turned me off cricket as a kid and it’s how much different one team can be from one day to the next.

If anything it’s keeping me interested for now.

It is what makes test cricket so great, all the ups and downs. That is why i prefer it over the shorter forms, especially T20, you fall behind in a T20 game and it is basically game over, not in tests, plenty of time to fight back

All part of the slow burn appeal right, good point that’s it’s not over until it’s over.

I did like day and nighters back in the day.

yeah for sure, with the batting line up india have for this test, they would back themselves to score 280-300

Yep I think we need 200 somehow, they bat deep as, are pretty resilient and another higher order bloke may be due a score too.
 
These batters down the bottom of the pecking order are actually taking chances and making it more entertaining.

Careful mate you will upset his no 1 fan boy in here "Utility-skar" lol
 
Langer is off his head saying we should give Marsh the Sydney Test and tell him to go for it. Tell him we need a 100 from him!

We need another bowler and a run getter.

Langer not putting Aust first and just his loyalty to Marsh Snr and WA?

Yes you're probably right Wendy on all counts,

He is one strange cat Langer so off his head is also relevant lol Did you see during a bbl game a week or more ago they put him in it? On his way to the game in Perth he filled his diesel vehicle with unleaded fknlol.
 
Thankfully Jaiswal has the dropsies today, very costly for india but great for us

Unless Marsh bowls at least 10 overs, and bearing in mind his current form with the bat, he must be the next player on the chopping block to be replaced.

The number six spot will be of big importance on spinning pitches as whoever is in that spot will have to be the third seamer, with the likelihood of two spinners being picked in Sri Lanka and a quick bowler rotated out.

Marsh has to be skating on thin ice at present.

Absolutely & add a duck to it today & his fate SHOULD be sealed.

pitch has held together really well. MCG every now and then does produce some flat pitches.
other venues have improved in Aus with a lot more bowler friendly wickets

The drop-in pitches all hold together because they are in a pan. This is why the pitches don't deteriorate anymore. It is affecting the game IMO.
